The Spanish-American War (1898) was a conflict between the United States and Spain that ended Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and resulted in U.S. acquisition of territories in the western Pacific and Latin America. The war originated in the Cuban struggle for independence from Spain, which began in February 1895. Spain’s brutally repressive measures to halt the rebellion were graphically portrayed for the U.S. public by several sensational newspapers, and American sympathy for the rebels rose. The growing popular demand for U.S. intervention became an insistent chorus after the unexplained sinking in Havana harbour of the battleship USS Maine (Feb. 15, 1898; see Maine, destruction of the), which had been sent to protect U.S. citizens and property after anti-Spanish rioting in Havana. Spain announced an armistice on April 9 and speeded up its new program to grant Cuba limited powers of self-government, but the U.S. Congress soon afterward issued resolutions that declared Cuba...

The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) marked the first U.S. armed conflict chiefly fought on foreign soil. It pitted a politically divided and militarily unprepared Mexico against the expansionist-minded administration of U.S. President James K. Polk, who believed the United States had a “manifest destiny” to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. A border skirmish along the Rio Grande started off the fighting and was followed by a series of U.S. victories. When the dust cleared, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. CAUSES OF THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR Texas gained its independence from Mexico in 1836. Initially, the United States declined to incorporate it into the union, largely because northern political interests were against the addition of a new slave state. The Mexican government was also encouraging border raids and warning that any attempt at annexation would lead t...

Anglo America and South America are very alike and very different in many aspects.   First of all, Anglo America has had a stable democratic government for over 200 years.   We operate under a government that allows us to vote, and we have freedom.   In Latin America, the government has been experimenting with different types of government, and they are just now starting to become a democratic nation.   Politically, Anglo America is much more developed than Latin America because they are stable and successful, whereas, Latin America is just now starting to stabilize. Also, Anglo America has a market economy where the citizens are allowed to buy whatever they want. The majority of people have jobs in the tertiary or trading sector, which show that Anglo America has a developed economy. However, in Latin America, they have had a difficult time developing a stable economy. The majority of people in Latin America also have jobs in the tertiary sector.   They ar...

The branch bridges the divide between human and physical geography and thus requires an understanding of the dynamics of geology, meteorology, hydrology, biogeography, and geomorphology, as well as the ways in which human societies conceptualize the environment. Branches of Physical Geography:         Biogeography. Animals and plants on earth are usually distributed in specific patterns and biogeography is the discipline that is involved in this study. Water Resources Geography. This is a branch of geography that normally deals with the study of how water resources are generally managed in a particular region. Geographers who are involved in this discipline normally look at the manner in which water is collected, distributed and lastly used in various places across the planet. In addition to this, systems developed by humans that are meant to aid the entire process are also studied so that they can consequently be enhanced for maximum efficiency. ...

Human geography focuses on the role that human play in the world. Human geography focuses on understand processes about human populations, settlements, economics, transportation, recreation and tourism, religion, politics, social and cultural traditions, human migration, agriculture, and urbanization.                     Branches of HUMAN Geography: Economic Geography.    Geographers under this branch normally study the manner in which products are usually produced and consequently distributed in their respective niche markets.

In general, the structures which control and influence the conditions of the economy are usually dissected microscopically here. Population Geography. In most cases, scholars usually equate population geography to demography even though th...

The Louisiana Purchase (1803) was a land deal between the United States and France, in which the U.S. acquired approximately 827,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million. this little event, of France possessing herself of Louisiana, ... is the embryo of a tornado which will burst on the countries on both shores of the Atlantic and involve in it’s effects their highest destinies.1 1805 Map of Louisiana by Samuel Lewis 1805 Map of Louisiana by Samuel Lewis President Thomas Jefferson wrote this prediction in an April 1802 letter to Pierre Samuel du Pont amid reports that Spain would retrocede to France the vast territory of Louisiana. As the United States had expanded westward, navigation of the Mississippi River and access to the port of New Orleans had become critical to American commerce, so this transfer of authority was cause for concern. Within a week of his letter to du Pont, Jefferson wrote U.S. Minister to France Robert Livingston: "...
