The document discusses issues related to colonization and industrialization in Southeast Asia and the Pacific region. It covers two main topics: 1) Aboriginal land claims in Australia, where indigenous peoples lost their ancestral lands to European colonists but have since regained some territories through lawsuits; and 2) the effects of industrialization, such as rural folks moving to cities for work, leading to overcrowding and pollution in urban areas, while also bringing economic benefits. The document also includes a case study on global environmental change and efforts to address climate change and ozone depletion through international agreements.
Colonialism in Southeast Asia (Portugal, Spain, Dutch)
The Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch all sought to colonize parts of Southeast Asia between the 15th-19th centuries. [1] The Portuguese colonized areas of Indonesia, Malacca, Timor, and the Moluccas. [2] They took control of Malacca in 1511 and the spice trade, but their rule was hampered by difficulties. [3] The Spanish colonized the Philippines for over 300 years after the Portuguese explorer Magellan arrived in 1521, establishing Manila as their capital in 1571. The Dutch controlled most of Indonesia as the Dutch East Indies, gradually conquering kingdoms through political influence and forced labor systems until independence in 1949.
Colonial History of Southeast Asia
This document outlines an educational plan to teach students about colonialism in Southeast Asia. It begins with defining key terms like colonialism and imperialism. It then lists European colonial powers and their Southeast Asian colonies. Motives for European colonization are discussed, such as national security, strategic advantage, nationalism, social Darwinism, missionary impulses, and developing industrial economies. Students will research and present on a specific Southeast Asian colony, addressing when and by whom it was colonized, effects on indigenous peoples, and benefits/drawbacks of colonization. References are provided for further reading.
Exploration & Colonization Presentation
European exploration began in the 15th century as European powers sought new trade routes to Asia to access valuable spices and other goods. This document provides background on why Western European nations like Portugal, Spain, England, and France established overseas colonies starting in this era. It explores their motivations, including accessing Asian trade, spreading Christianity, finding natural resources, and gaining economic and geopolitical advantages over rivals. New technologies like the compass and caravel ships enabled explorers like da Gama, Columbus, and Magellan to discover new lands and establish European colonial empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

Spain
The Spanish Empire originated in the 15th century as Spain sought to expand its territories for defense, trade, and spread of Christianity. Key events included the union of Castile and Aragon, the conquest of Granada in 1492, and Columbus' voyage. At its peak, the Empire spanned Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Spain conquered the Aztec and Inca empires for their gold and silver. The Empire extracted wealth but also sought to convert natives to Catholicism, often through violent means. It established viceroyalties in Mexico and Peru to administrate its overseas colonies until independence movements in the early 19th century. However, the Empire had a disastrous impact on native populations
Unit2a colonialization and exploration ss6 h6b
The document discusses European exploration and colonization between the 14th and 18th centuries. It describes how Portugal, Spain, England, and France established large overseas empires through exploration and colonization. Portugal was the first to establish global trade routes and colonies in Africa, India, and Brazil. Spain's empire grew through the conquest of the Aztecs and Incas in the Americas. England's empire eventually became the largest in history, including territories in North America, India, Australia, and Africa. France also established colonies across multiple continents.
The Modern Age in Spain (I)
During the 15th and 16th centuries in Spain:
- Ferdinand and Isabella unified the country and imposed Catholicism, establishing the Spanish Inquisition.
- Their support of Columbus led to the discovery of America in 1492, bringing gold and silver back to Spain.
- Under King Charles I and King Philip II, Spain built a vast overseas empire through further exploration and conquest, most notably defeating the Moors in Granada. However, the costs of maintaining this empire began to economically drain Spain.
Spanish Empire1
The Spanish Empire was one of the first global empires, spanning Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania from the 15th to the 19th centuries. It began expanding in 1492 after the reconquista of Spain, when Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas launched the Spanish colonization of the New World. By the 16th century, the Spanish Empire extended across most of the Americas and into Asia, dividing its territories into the primary viceroyalties of New Spain, New Castile, and New Granada. The empire lasted over 300 years and was fueled primarily by silver mining in Peru and Mexico, though it underwent many administrative and economic changes over its long history.
The Spanish Empire
The document discusses the history of Spain and the Spanish Empire from ancient times to the 16th century. It describes how the Iberian peninsula was formerly known as Hispania and contained modern day nations like Portugal and Spain. The Spanish Empire became one of the first global empires in the 16th century through exploration and colonial expansion across oceans. At its peak in the 16th-17th centuries under the Habsburgs, the empire reached into Europe, Asia, and the Americas, controlling territories from the Philippines to large parts of North and South America. However, difficulties like failed military campaigns and disease epidemics later contributed to the empire's decline.
Eurpean Exploration And Empire Building
1) In the 1400s, European countries began extensively exploring the world in search of wealth and resources, expanding their knowledge and control.
2) Portugal was a leader in exploration, sending voyages down the west African coast and around the tip of Africa, opening the way for later colonization.
3) Spain, England, and France also engaged in exploration and established colonies in the Americas in the 1400s-1500s, with Spain forming a huge empire spanning North and South America and the Caribbean.
Age of exploration
Between 1500-1800:
- European powers expanded globally through exploration and colonization motivated by trade, wealth, and religion. Portugal led expansion in Africa and Asia while Spain dominated in the Americas.
- The slave trade dramatically increased to supply labor for American plantations, devastating parts of Africa and changing its political/social structures.
- Europeans established overseas colonies and trading posts in Asia, Africa and the Americas, transforming global economics and introducing mercantilism. Their presence impacted politics, culture and religion in conquered regions.
European Exploration and Empire Building
1. In the 1400s, European powers like Portugal, Spain, England and France began exploring the world in search of wealth and resources, expanding their knowledge and control.
2. Portugal was a leader in exploration, sending voyages down the west African coast and around the Cape of Good Hope, paving the way for later involvement in the slave trade.
3. Spain sponsored Christopher Columbus' voyages seeking a route to Asia, leading to the Columbian Exchange and Spain building a huge American empire in the 1500s-1600s through conquest and colonization.
Spain
The Spanish Empire was a vast overseas empire established during the 16th century when Spain conquered vast areas of North and South America, overrunning the Aztec and Incan empires. Spain built upon its naval strengths and established colonies in the Americas and territories in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Though Spain lost its European possessions after the War of Spanish Succession in 1713, it retained a vast overseas empire through the 18th century aided by military victories over Britain. The empire declined in the 17th century during the rule of the Spanish Habsburgs due to costly wars and bankruptcy, though it remained a powerful global force.
Peoples and empires 2
Charlemagne conquered much of Europe and Christianized tribes, uniting a vast empire through military force and religious conversion. Charles V later inherited lands from multiple rulers, uniting a sprawling multinational empire without a single capital. European voyages in the 1400s established trade routes for goods from Asia and Africa, and Magellan's attempted expedition to find spices instead resulted in the first circumnavigation of the globe, advancing European oceanic dominance.
Exploration and encounter
Europeans began exploring the Atlantic in the early 1500s, seeking to expand trade networks and spread Christianity. This led to encounters between European powers and indigenous societies in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The Portuguese established coastal trading posts in Africa and fought Arabs for control of the spice trade. Spain formed the largest American empire through conquests led by Columbus, Cortes, and Pizarro. France founded Quebec in 1608 and grew the fur trade. England established 13 colonies along the eastern coast of North America in the 1600-1700s, with different economic focuses between the northern and southern regions.
Spanish empire history140 assign 3
The document provides brief biographies of several individuals from Spanish colonial territories between the 16th-18th centuries. It discusses Diego Vasicuio, a native priest from Salamanca who continued indigenous religious traditions in secret. It also mentions Juan de Morga and Gertrudis de Escobor, rebellious slaves in Central Mexico in the 17th century. Additionally, it summarizes Isabel Moctezuma, a princess of the Aztec empire who married several times and became an important figure in Christianizing Mexico.
History of Spain from 800.000 BC to 1715
Spain has been home to many different peoples and civilizations over hundreds of thousands of years. The earliest human remains in Spain date back 800,000 years ago. Romans conquered the Iberian Peninsula between 218-19 BC and spread their culture and social structures. Muslims ruled Spain for over 700 years beginning in 711 AD, bringing economic and cultural development. In the 15th century, Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon united Spain and expelled the Muslims, establishing the Spanish Empire under the Hapsburg dynasty.

European Age of Exploration
A World Map from Alberto Cantino, 1502
When we last left Europe, the Islamic trading influences had sparked a revolution of ideas in Italy that began to spread across the cultural centers of European kingdoms. The Italian Renaissance slowly spread across Europe, bringing new innovations in technology, art, music, scientific understanding, mathematics, and medicine. In turn these ideas had sparked the Reformation. However, by the sixteenth century, as the Reformation picked up steam and began spreading radical religious ideas throughout Christendom, already some European kingdoms had begun applying Renaissance inventions to new economic opportunities: Exploration.
The presence of patronage throughout royal courts had encouraged a stability of economies. This stability was called mercantilism – the economic doctrine that assumes government control of foreign trade is the most important element of ensuring prosperity for a given state. The idea is that trading partners need each other to prosper, so trading states are less likely to war with each other over minor details, lest that diminishes trade. The downside to mercantilism is that it can foster an atmosphere of such extreme competition between two or more states that other states end up falling prey to that intense rivalry. This is exactly what happened with cultures in Africa, North America, the Caribbean, and Mesoamerica. But the immediacy of stability caused by mercantilism contributed to the standing atmosphere of intellectual curiosity and increasing centralized governments to lead expeditions outside of European domains.
Portugal
The Portuguese had regained control over the Kingdom of Portugal in 1415, when conquering Christian forces had expelled the occupying Moors. Spain still had some years of fighting left to regain control over the remaining Iberian Peninsula, but Portugal began to set its affairs in order and set its sights on increased trade. Playing a key role in this development was Prince Henry the Navigator.
Prince Henry the Navigator extended Portuguese trade ports throughout the coasts of Africa and into India
Prince Henry was very religious and thought that exploring the African coastline might benefit Portugal in economic glory while benefitting African through conversion from mostly Islamic beliefs to Christian ideas. He established a navigation school to increase the knowledge of sailors. New techniques in ship-building allowed for longer journeys with more gods on board. He also spread the idea that courtly chivalrous honor could be achieved through behaviors off the battle-field. In addition to military glory, he thought, knightly behavior could be earned through intellectual exploration, religious piety and missionary work, and the adventure of journeying to places unknown. In the early 1400s, Portuguese sailors began sailing into ports along the African coast. They were there not as conquerors, but as traders.
And so, Portugues.
When worlds collide
When Worlds Collide discusses the momentous events of 1492, when Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas, connecting two worlds that had developed independently for thousands of years. The arrival of Europeans forever altered life for the indigenous peoples of the Americas and led to the exchange of commodities between the two worlds, fueling economic growth in Europe. It also examines the decline of the vast Spanish Empire in the late 1500s as it relinquished its role as the world's sole superpower.

The Spanish Empire
The Spanish Empire consisted of territories across Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania from the 15th through 20th centuries. In the 16th century, Spain took control of large parts of North and South America by conquering the Aztec and Inca empires through military tactics, alliances with rival groups, and the spread of disease. Though Spain's empire was vast, it declined in the following centuries through independence movements and military defeats against other European powers like France.
Exploration and colonization updated 11 12
The document discusses the impact of European exploration and colonization between the 14th and early 20th centuries. It drove technological advances in navigation, as well as the spread of Christianity. Major European powers like Portugal, Spain, England, and France established vast global empires through exploration, hoping to find riches like gold, silver, and spices. By the early 20th century, the British Empire spanned a quarter of the Earth's land and population, while France and other nations also built extensive colonial holdings on multiple continents.
Ning post #3
The document discusses the history of the Spanish Empire from its beginnings in the 15th century to its decline. It describes Columbus's voyage in 1492 where he sailed with three ships and 90 men and discovered what is now known as America, believing he had found a new route to Asia. It then discusses the Golden Age of Spain in the 16th-17th centuries when the Spanish gained great wealth and power under King Charles. Finally, it summarizes the fall of the Spanish Empire as it struggled to govern its vast American territories due to problems with the ruling council's lack of experience in the Americas, resulting in incomplete Spanish control.
Latin America - European conquest - 2012
Europeans arrived in Latin America in the 1400s as Spain and Portugal searched for new trade routes to Asia. Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas while searching for Asia on behalf of Spain. Spain and Portugal then became rivals seeking to claim land in the new world. Spanish conquistadors like Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro conquered the Aztec and Inca empires, giving Spain control over much of Latin America by 1535. Spain and Portugal divided influence over the new world along an imaginary line of demarcation in 1494.

The Jesuit Relation
The document summarizes key points about the Jesuit Relations book, which describes the efforts of 17th century French Jesuits to convert Native American tribes to Catholicism. The Jesuits believed the natives worshipped the devil due to their ceremonies and village lifestyle. They initially tried to befriend tribes through trade but ultimately aimed to communicate Christian teachings. The Jesuits took vows of poverty and obedience and sought to spread Christianity in an organized manner. One Jesuit described Native American spiritual beliefs but also noted their physical advantages over the French.
Dutch Empire 1
The Dutch Empire was a wealthy and ambitious empire in the early 17th century despite having a small population of only 1.5 million people. The Dutch dominated northern and western European trade routes as well as fishing and whaling. Amsterdam was a major center for shipping, banking, insurance, and manufacturing in northern Europe. The Dutch also stole the Portuguese sugar trade from American plantations and the slave trade from West Africa to the Americas, capturing key trading posts and dominating sugar production in Brazil. However, by the mid-1600s the Dutch faced attacks from former allies like the English and French as their power grew.
French Empire 3
Thomas Paine was an English-American writer and political activist who influenced both the American and French revolutions. He authored the influential pamphlet "Common Sense" in 1776, which argued for American independence from Britain and helped convince colonists to support the revolutionary cause. Paine later participated in the French Revolution and was elected to the French National Convention in 1792, where he supported the ideals of the Enlightenment.
English Empire 3
Oliver Cromwell dominated England after the death of King Charles I in 1649, ruling as Lord Protector from 1653 until his death in 1658. He led a brutal campaign against Ireland from 1649-1650, massacring thousands of Irish soldiers and civilians during sieges of Drogheda and Wexford. His religious views led him to oppose the Roman Catholic Church and Irish Catholics, resulting in the deaths of many priests and the enslavement of over 12,000 Irish people.
Frenchl Empire 1
The document discusses French geography and politics in relation to the American colonies. It notes that corn and potato cultivation expanded in France during the 16th-17th centuries. It also states that the New Netherlands colony attracted French emigrants due to its religious tolerance. However, France was engaged in religious conflicts and economic struggles at home during this period, preventing it from establishing more colonies to rival England and the Netherlands in the Americas.
English Empire 1
England had developed a more capitalist economic system compared to Spain, Portugal, and France by the 16th-17th centuries. This allowed the English merchant class to establish private ownership over land, labor, and capital to generate profits through trade. Emigration from England to the American colonies doubled during this time, with the colonial population in the Chesapeake growing significantly. The colonies shipped large amounts of tobacco to England, helping to open up a bigger market and contribute to cheaper tobacco prices. England established two types of colonial governments - royal colonies controlled by the crown and proprietary colonies belonging to private interests.

Spanish Empire 5
The Spanish created a vast empire in the Americas during the 16th century through conquest and colonization, extending their reach from ancient Rome across boundless new lands. By the 1500s, the powerful Spanish empire was feared by European rivals like the French, Portuguese, English, and Dutch, who were motivated by fear and self-interest to also establish American colonies to compete for territory and resources. The Spanish utilized new technologies like horses and war dogs to help defeat Native Americans in battle, and allied with some Indian villages to further expand their rule across Mexico and Peru, which became centers of the growing Spanish empire by the mid-1500s.
Spanish Empire 4.
The Aztec city of Tenochtitlan fell to Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes on August 13, 1521, killing around 240,000 people and collapsing the Aztec empire. Cortes later became governor of New Spain, a territory in North America administered by Spain. Once in power over New Spain, Cortes demanded the native people convert to Christianity, ending human sacrifices and destroying indigenous religious idols and traditions in favor of Spanish rule and Catholicism.

Thomas Paine was an influential author and revolutionary figure during the American and French Revolutions. He published Common Sense in 1776, which was a widely-read pamphlet that made a powerful argument for American independence from British rule at a time when the question was still undecided. Common Sense relied on Biblical references to make its case for independence to the American people and was the most important pamphlet of the revolutionary era.
The World in 1492
The document describes the state of major world civilizations in 1492. In Europe, Spain was uniting under Ferdinand and Isabella and sponsored Columbus' voyage. Turkey dominated North Africa and the Middle East. South Asia was ruled by Muslims except in the Hindu south. China struggled with bureaucracy while Japan remained independent. In the Americas, the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans had powerful empires until the arrival of Europeans. Wheat and rice were the main foods in Europe and Asia while Americans ate maize and lacked large animals. The Europeans conquered through advanced weapons, ships, and religious zeal.
Spices and Other Things
The document discusses the global spread and impact of several important crops and goods throughout history. It describes how spices from Asia were traded globally by various empires, how the Aztecs engaged in extensive trading networks throughout Mesoamerica, and how the Spanish introduced potatoes and cocoa from South America to Europe and beyond. It also discusses the origins and globalization of tobacco, coffee, sugar, and chocolate.

The World In 1492
In 1492, Europe was made up of many small states uniting into new kingdoms. Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain sponsored Columbus' voyage to the Americas, hoping to spread Catholicism and find new trade routes. China was struggling with bureaucracy and defending against northern invaders, while the Muslim Ottoman Empire dominated North Africa and Western Asia. In the Americas, advanced civilizations like the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans controlled much of the territory, relying on agriculture and trade but lacking technology like firearms that would be introduced by European colonizers.
Spices And Other Things
1) Traders exchanged luxury goods and agricultural products across Asia and Europe along historic trade routes, spreading crops and technologies.
2) Aztec traders transported valuable goods like cacao, rubber, and gold across Mexico and Central/South America using networks of people to carry loads. However, Spanish conquest later destroyed this civilization.
3) Potatoes, originally from Peru, were adopted in Europe and helped stave off famines, becoming a dominant crop in Ireland.

查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水

Spanish Empire 1
- 2. Spain’s Geographic Characteristic’s • During the 16th century the Spanish created the most intimidating empire in European history by conquering and colonizing most of America. By 1550, Spain dominated the lands and people from the Caribbean and deep into both North and South America. The Spanish had greedy minds and even priests would feel it was right to dominate the world. They said their religion and a vision of Mary inspired them to conquer all of America and Indians should be punished for worshiping the devil. Spanish were known to carry the Black Legend, which meant they were arrogant and very cruel and brutal to the Natives. But it is said that all European countries were harsh on the Natives because when it came to power, they would do whatever it took to dominate America. The Spanish just had more opportunities to conquer more lands.
- 3. Spain’s Economic System • The Spanish economy was one of the first global empire, colonies and territories in Europe, America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The marriage of the Reyes Catolicos, created a confederation of reigns, each with their own administrations, but ruled by a common monarchy. Spain was created by the Empire, rather than the Empire being created by Spain. In 1492, Spain drove out the last Moorish king of Granada. After their victory, the Catholic monarchs negotiated with Christopher Columbus to sail west and spread the kingdom. By the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494, in which the globe was divided into 2 hemispheres between Spanish and Portuguese claims, Spain was able to claim a lot of land. They established colonies in the New World from Alaska to Cape Horn, except Brazil, and the east part of Asia. Spain was able to find gold and silver that made Spain extremely wealthy.
