Spanish conquistadors, with the help of local allies, were able to conquer the powerful Inca Empire in Peru in the 16th century, gaining control over the entire Andean region by November 16, 1532. Separately, Hernan Cortes led Spanish forces that conquered the Mexica/Aztec empire between 1519-1521, establishing over 300 years of Spanish rule in Mexico, though the Yucatan Peninsula was under a different Mayan empire at the time.

Spanish Conquests
The Spanish conquered the Inca Empire in Peru in the 1500s, with Spanish soldiers and Inca renegades toppling the empire and consolidating power over the Andean region by November 16, 1532. Hernan Cortes also conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico from 1519-1521, with the Spanish then ruling Mexico for 303 years while the Yucatan peninsula, part of modern Mexico, was previously part of the Mayan empire.
Spanish Conquests
The document summarizes two major Spanish conquests in South America and Mexico in the 16th century. In the 1530s, Spanish soldiers and their Inca allies conquered the Inca Empire and consolidated power over the Andean region of Peru. Separately, from 1519 to 1521, Hernan Cortes led Spanish forces that defeated the Aztec Empire in Mexico, establishing over 300 years of Spanish rule in the region, with the Yucatan Peninsula previously belonging to the separate Mayan empire.
Cortez
Hernan Cortes led an expedition from Cuba to Mexico in 1519, landing in present-day Veracruz. He gained alliances with native civilizations like the Tlaxcala who were enemies of the Aztecs. Cortes continued gaining allies as he traveled to Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, where emperor Moctezuma II greeted him. However, Cortes had his men massacre Aztec nobles. The Aztecs drove the Spanish out but Cortes returned with greater forces and finally retook Tenochtitlan in 1521, destroying the Aztec empire.
Aztecs empire
The Aztec city-state of Tenochtitlan began as an island in Lake Texcoco and grew in size and power through warfare and alliances that allowed it to obtain resources and prisoners for sacrifice. In 1446, Montezuma ordered a great embankment to be built to protect the expanding city. A few years later, the Aztecs formed a Triple Alliance with two neighboring cities that continued conquering lands, controlling an empire of four million people by the 16th century. When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, the great city of Tenochtitlan amazed them with its beauty unlike anything they had seen. Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, lived a life of luxury in a lavish palace where
Spanish conquer the Inca
When the Spanish conquistador Pizarro arrived in Peru in the early 16th century, the Inca Empire was in the midst of a civil war between two brothers vying for control of their father's kingdom; Atahualpa had defeated his brother Huascar and claimed the throne. Pizarro took advantage of the exhausted and weakened Inca forces under Atahualpa, capturing the Inca ruler in 1532; over the following half century, the Spanish fought Inca revolts and eventually conquered the remnants of the empire, while new diseases devastated the native population, reducing it from 32 million to just 5 million between 1520 and 1548.
History of spain-1
Spain has geographic boundaries with Portugal to the west, France to the northeast, and Africa (via the Strait of Gibraltar) to the south. The two largest cities are Madrid, the capital, and Barcelona. Spain has 17 autonomous communities, three of which have their own languages: Basque, Galician, and Catalan. The Romans invaded Spain in 206 BC and Latin became the dominant language. In 711 AD the Moors invaded and Arabic influenced Spanish vocabulary. In 1492 the Catholic monarchs expelled the last of the Moors and Jews from Spain, damaging the economy. The Spanish Civil War occurred from 1936-1939 resulting in Francisco Franco becoming dictator until his death in 1975, after which Spain established a parliamentary monarchy

The document provides a brief history of the Philippines from pre-colonial times to the present. It describes how the earliest human remains in the Philippines date back 30,000 years ago. It then discusses the pre-colonial period when different groups inhabited the islands and engaged in domestic trade as well as skills like weaving, ship-building, and goldsmithing. It notes that Islam had spread to parts of the Philippines by the 12th century. It also summarizes the Spanish and U.S. colonial occupations and how independence was regained after World War 2, though the U.S. imposed certain conditions and retained economic influence.
The modern age (session 1)
The document discusses the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age in Spain in 1492. It describes how the Middle Ages ended with the discovery of the Americas, marking the beginning of the 300-year Modern Age period of discovery. In Spain, the Middle Ages saw Muslim and Christian powers controlling different parts of the Iberian Peninsula, but Fernando and Isabel united the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile in 1479, defeating the last Muslim kingdom in Granada in 1492. This established Spain as a powerful, unified Christian kingdom and marked the beginning of the Modern Age, where monarchs centralized power rather than nobles having control.
The 16th century: Charles I and Philip II's reigns
Charles I inherited a vast empire from his parents in the early 16th century, including territories in Spain, the Netherlands, and Austria. He faced revolts from the Comuneros in Castile and Germanias in Aragon due to his absentee rule from Spain and appointments of Flemish advisers. Charles defeated the revolts and consolidated his rule, focusing on expanding his empire through wars with France and defending Catholicism against the Protestant Reformation. He established new governing councils and professionalized the bureaucracy and military to administer his far-flung realms.
Section 1 notes
In the late 15th century, European powers sought new trade routes to Asia to share in its wealth. Pope Alexander VI drew a Line of Demarcation to determine which lands newly discovered west and east would belong to Spain and Portugal, respectively. However, Portugal demanded a change, and the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas moved the line significantly west, allowing for further Spanish and Portuguese exploration. This led Spain to conquer the major Aztec and Inca empires in Central and South America through alliances with enemies, disease, and brutality towards native populations.
Aztecs empire
The ancestors of the Aztecs received a divine command to leave their homeland of Aztlan in 1116 AD and wandered for over 100 years before reaching Lake Texcoco. From their modest beginnings in the swamps of Lake Texcoco, the Aztec city-state of Tenochtitlan grew in size and power through warfare and alliances to obtain resources. Montezuma I ordered the construction of an embankment to protect Tenochtitlan after it was flooded in 1446, and then expanded the empire outside the valley after several years of bad harvests caused widespread starvation. When the Spanish arrived in 1519, over 300,000 people lived in the grand city of Tenochtitlan, which was

The ancestors of the Aztecs received a divine command to leave their homeland of Aztlan in 1116 AD and wandered for over 100 years before reaching Lake Texcoco. From modest beginnings in the swamps around the lake, the Aztec city-state of Tenochtitlan grew in size and power through alliances and warfare. After floods and famines in the mid-1400s, Montezuma I expanded the empire outside the valley. When the Spanish arrived in 1519, over 300,000 people lived in the great city of Tenochtitlan, which was larger and more prosperous than Seville.

Greece
The Minoan civilization was the first to develop on the Greek islands of Crete and was centered around the palace at Knossos. They were skilled traders and their prosperity came from maritime trade until a volcanic eruption and invasion caused their decline. The Mycenaeans then settled mainland Greece and invaded Crete, living in fortified hilltop settlements. After a period of decline known as the Greek Dark Age, Greek city-states emerged in the Archaic age, some developing as oligarchies like Sparta while others like Athens transitioned to democracy. Athens and Sparta led rival alliances after defeating Persia in the Greco-Persian Wars, leaving most Greek city-states weakened.

Rock and folk music of canada
The document summarizes the history of rock and folk music in Canada from the 1950s to the 2000s. It describes how Canadian rock was initially influenced by American rock and roll in the 1950s. Major Canadian artists emerged in the 1960s like Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young. The 1970s saw the rise of popular bands like Rush and laws supporting Canadian content on radio. Bryan Adams became very successful internationally in the 1980s. Alternative rock bands like The Barenaked Ladies and The Tragically Hip found fame in the 1990s. Nickelback and Avril Lavigne led Canadian music popularity in the 2000s.
The Dutch East Indies
The Dutch East India Company was established in the early 1600s to maximize Dutch trading interests in Southeast Asia. By 1700, the company had grown powerful and established colonial rule over many areas. After going bankrupt in 1800, the company's territories came under control of the Dutch government. During the Napoleonic Wars and afterward, there was conflict between the Dutch and British for control of the East Indies, resulting in the Dutch ceding some areas to Britain in exchange for retaining control of key colonies like Java and what is now Indonesia.
Portuguese Africa
Portugal focused on expanding its African territories in the 1800s to compensate for losses elsewhere, establishing colonies in modern Cape Verde, São Tomé and Príncipe, Guinea-Bissau, Angola, and Mozambique. In the 1900s, Portugal entered World War I to protect Mozambique from German troops and began losing control of its colonies as decolonization movements gained support during World War II and the Cold War, when the US and USSR tried to increase their influence in Portuguese territories.
First French Colonial Empire
The first French colonial empire began in 1605 with the founding of Port Royal in Acadia (now Nova Scotia, Canada). In 1608, Samuel De Champlain established Quebec City, which became the capital of New France. Due to New France's small fur trading population, the French relied on friendly connections with native Indians to supply furs to trading posts. They had more humane relationships with Indians than other colonial powers, not trying to seize all their land or enslave them, though religious orders pressed for Catholic conversion.
Thomas Paine
Thomas Paine was an English-born American political activist and philosopher who greatly influenced both the American and French revolutions. He is most famous for writing the influential pamphlet "Common Sense" in 1776 which used religious references and plain language to powerfully argue for American independence from British rule, helping persuade the colonists to declare independence.
Britains Imperialism
Britain's Imperialism expanded greatly between 1815-1914, adding over 10 million square miles of territory and 400 million people to the Empire. British power was supported by new technologies like steamships and telegraphs in the late 19th century, linking the vast Empire through telegraph cables by 1902.
The Old Spanish Trail
The Old Spanish Trail was a 1,200 mile trade route established in the early 19th century that connected Santa Fe, New Mexico to Los Angeles and Southern California. Spanish explorers first explored the region as early as 1776, and the trail saw extensive use by pack trains carrying goods between 1830 and the mid-1850s. The route developed over time as a combination of trails established by Spanish traders and explorers interacting with Native American tribes like the Ute to establish a path linking New Mexico to California.
First British Empire
The First British Empire began taking shape in the early 17th century through English settlements in North America and the Caribbean. Key events included the founding of Jamestown in 1607, establishing England's first permanent settlement in North America, and the establishment of the East India Company, which helped Britain greatly expand trade with Asia. During this time, from 1583 to 1783, slavery also became the basis of the British Empire in the West Indies, with Britain responsible for transporting over 3.5 million African slaves to the Americas until the abolition of the slave trade in 1807.
Consequences Of The American Revolution
The American Revolution brought independence to the 13 original states and led them to write new constitutions or change their old charters to become republics. While the Articles of Confederation proved inadequate, the 1787 convention produced the U.S. Constitution. However, in the late 18th century, women and people of color did not have equal rights, slavery was still legal in the South, and conflicts increased as white settlers moved onto Native American lands.
18th Century Prosperity
The Bourbon Reforms in 18th century Spain were intended to modernize the country by stimulating manufacturing and technology and keeping close ties with France. However, the reforms led to violence with the loss of European possessions after the War of the Spanish Succession. While the reforms helped militarily with retaking Naples and Sicily from Austria, they also led to discontent in Europe and revolts among Criollos, Mestizos, and Indians resisting the changes.
Age Of Discovery
Spain began settling the Caribbean islands in the 15th century and conquered the Aztec and Inca empires in mainland America. They went on to establish a vast empire stretching from Canada to Tierra del Fuego. Seeking an alternative trade route to Asia, Spain explored Africa, Asia, and the Americas, establishing global links and trading gold, silver, spices, and other goods. This contact produced the Columbian Exchange and led to Europe dominating most of the world in the Age of Imperialism.
Spices And Things Redone
The document discusses the economic and cultural impact of drugs throughout history. It describes how in the 17th century, exotic plants like tobacco, coffee, and cocoa became popular commodities in Europe and the Americas, creating wealth for merchants. While drugs were widely accepted then, the 20th century saw the rise of prohibition against substances like alcohol, opium, and cocaine. The document also summarizes the histories of potatoes, tobacco, coffee, and sugar cane, highlighting their economic significance and influence on global trade, slavery, and conflicts over the past few centuries.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
