It also symbolized the emergence of Germany as a world power. Portugal lacked manpower and resources required by an empire spread over three continents. She is presently writing a scholarly volume on the visual and textual representations of trash and rubble in contemporary culture, and pursuing her passion for photography and collage. As Afonso IV of Portugal tried to avoid being drawn into Castile’s bloody wars of succession, some Castilians appealed to Portuguese Prince Pedro to come and claim the throne.

By 1516, the first Portuguese ships had reached Canton on the southern coasts of China and after 40 years, in 1557, they obtained a permanent base at Macau, which they held until 1999. The Portuguese, now based at Goa and Malacca, had established a lucrative maritime empire in the Indian Ocean meant to monopolise the spice trade. They also began a channel of trade with the Japanese, becoming the first recorded Westerners to have visited Japan Del topos al logos. (La read online shopping.creativeitsol.com.

I was three-for-three in having my letters published.� I was shocked that they ran that one, if for no other reason than at more than 600 words, it was more than twice as long as their recommended 300-word limit.� The paper called me the day after they ran it, and gave me the phone number of a man who wanted to talk to me.� I called him.� He was nearly 80 years old and called to say that he was "flabbergasted" that the paper would run a letter like mine, and that he had written letters for many years to the paper, and never had one published.� During the 1980s, I doubt that any mainstream American paper would have published that letter.� I sent that letter to ex-CIA operative Ralph McGehee .� Ralph said that he was "amazed" that any American mainstream newspaper would run a letter like that.� He said that that letter would never see print in the New York Times or Washington Post Music's Modern Muse (Eastman Studies in Music) civic.cet.ac.il.

By 1840, except for tiny Iroquois reservations in New York and the few Seminoles holding out in Florida, the Native American was virtually extinct east of the Mississippi.� The vast tract of land between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River, which the British set aside for native tribes in 1763, was now completely in the hands of white Americans.� Tiny remnants of the Eastern Woodlands’ tribes were living largely in today’s Arkansas and Oklahoma, although the trend was forcing all of them into Oklahoma, which was about the most inhospitable land then known and available.� Every single American president to 1840 was an unabashed, land-grabbing empire-builder.� As the “frontier” kept being pushed back, killing Indians was the American way to fame and fortune.� During the 19th century, being known as an Indian fighter was the quickest way to garner votes, and that trend continued after 1840.� In 1840, there were about 17 million Americans, as compared to less than four million in 1790, when the first American census was taken.� The 1840s saw the USA in the midst of trends that define its character today.� Between Napoleon and World War I, European soil was largely free of warfare.� That was partly because the USA acted as a safety valve for poorer Europeans.� British subjects and Germans were the most common immigrants, and the Africans who came against their will as slaves.� Early industrialization in Europe was a hellish experience, and the UK led the way.� British factories were known as “satanic mills” and dismal British urban life of the late 18th and early 19th century is epitomized by the work of Charles Dickens.� His Christmas Carol was published in 1843 , e.g. Deep Song and Other Prose read for free old.gorvestnik.ru.

Notable Pu ritan leaders such as Cotton Mather rejoiced in the butchery and genocide.� Mather openly approved of Underhill’s annihilation of that Pequot village, writing that those women and children were “dismissed from a world that was burdened with them.” [112] � Mather wrote of that slaughter, “It was supposed that no less than 600 Pequot souls were brought down to hell that day.” [113] � Mather called the natives who fed and hosted the Puritans “ravenous howling wolves.”� The insatiably greedy Puritans and the other English settlers eventually seized more and more land that was Wampanoag, leading to what is called King Philip’s War in 1675.� Philip was the son of Massasoit, who was the chief that welcomed and fed the original Puritan invaders.� The war ended with the annihilation of the Wampanoag, and Philip’s head was mounted on a pole at Plymouth for 24 years.� Thus ended the tribe that welcomed the Puritans.� As with the Spanish in the New World, the English process of invasion and settlement devastated New England’s environment, which further doomed the natives. [114] Underhill also rem arked on the method by which the “savages” carried out warfare.� Their so-called warfare was highly ritualized, with symbolic gestures, such as firing arrows at the distant enemy and then going home.� Underhill said that Pequot battles seemed more for pastime than conquering and subduing enemies.� Henry Spelman, who lived among the Pamunkey, said that in their wars, “They might fight seven yeares and not kill seven men.”� The tribes of the Eastern Woodlands were largely matrilineal, which are far gentler than patrilineal societies, and in perhaps two-thirds of those tribes, warfare was so small a part of their existence that there were no “war stories or battle legends of any kind.” [115] � The English practi ced headhunting before they began invading the New World, as exemplified by Gilbert’s tactics in Ireland, as a way of instilling terror in the locals as well as confirming just who and how many they killed. [116] � In the New World, the English began paying people to deliver native heads.� Heads were more positive proof of death than scalps, as people could survive scalping, but scalps were easier to haul, as an adult human head weighed about eight pounds.� The English practice was not just for fun; big money was paid for scalps and heads.� During the 1600s, the English in New England offered scalp and head bounties.� In 1704, the Massachusetts authorities raised their bounty to 100 pounds per man’s scalp, 40 pounds per woman’s and “only” 20 pounds for a child’s.� In those days, a good New England farmer earned only about 25 pounds in a year. [117] Murdering Indians became big business in colonial America, with such lucrative bounties.� Nobody could tell if a scalp came from a “friendly” or “hostile” native, and it was easier to kill “friendlies” than “hostiles,” so there was a great deal of “scalp fraud” among bounty hunters, as they preferred killing friendlies, and the less talented particularly went after women and children.� Even though women and children’s scalps paid less, there was far less risk in obtaining them, and they were more plentiful than braves.� In 1750, “pacifist” Pennsylvania lowered its definition of an adult native male to ten years old, to keep the bounty hunters happy and busy.� The scalp bounty business was an immensely popular undertaking in colonial America.� As an example, in 1757 the Reverend Thomas Smith of today’s Maine was in investor in a bounty-hunter operation.� In return for providing ammunition and provisions, Smith and his fellow investors received one-third of the bounty. [118] � Scalp and head bounties became an American institution wherever natives were to be found along the “American frontier,” clear up until the 1880s, when there were virtually no natives left to be scalped.� The Fre nch had a gentler tenure in the New World, but that had more to do with France’s political-economic-demographic situation than benevolent intent.� While it is true that the French respected Native American culture more than any other European power did, during the 1760s, when France’s commitment to New World colonization was its greatest, it had fewer than 50,000 people in the New World, while the English had nearly a million members of its “surplus population” in the New World. [119] � Hence, France manipulated the native tribes to its ends more effectively than its European rivals did.� In 1536, Jac ques Cartier impacted the native political situation by kidnapping leaders deemed obstructive to his aims.� Although Cartier’s men got scurvy and were cured by a native medicine man, an empirical observation that Europe would fail to embrace for the next three centuries, they left behind their calling card.� The natives began falling prey to European disease almost as soon as they met Cartier and his men.� Cartier began wearing out the native welcome early on, and after his last failed attempt at invasion/settlement, the French left the area and did not return for 60 years The Challenges of Uncertainty read pdf http://www.cmevolutionplast.com/library/the-challenges-of-uncertainty.
