  • Visit of Arequipa & pass of Patapampa (4890 m) Visit of / Visite de / Besuch von / Visita de / Chiamata di / Arequipa Archaeological findings indicate the fertile valley in which Arequipa is situated has been occupied back to 5000 -- 6000 BCE. In the 15th century, the region, then occupied by Aymara Indians, was conquered by the Inca and served as an important supplier of agrarian products to the Inca Empire. The modern city of Arequipa was founded on 15 August 1540, by Garcà Manuel de Carbajal, an emissary of Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro. One year later, King Charles V of Spain gave it the rank of 'city' and the coat of arms that it still keeps. The arrival of Spanish influence left many relics and colonial architecture, which reminds the visitor of the city's colonial past, when it was the city with the highest proportion of Spanish population in the whole Viceroyalty of Peru. This led Arequipa to develop a large Peruvian Mestizo population as its demographics changed and grew over the centuries. Since the late 1940's, however, there has been increasing immigration from the Peruvian sierra, thus changing the demographic character of some parts of the city. Throughout history Arequipa remained relatively isolated during colonial and early republican times, but that changed in 1870 when a Southern railroad to the coastal port of Tacna was inaugurated, opening trade via the Pacific Ocean. The building and expansion of more roads in the 1930s also led to a direct connection with the Pan-American Highway ...

  • discovery of america official website of endtimetuber discovery of america The Discovery of America usa new roman empire One of the most significant dates during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs was 12th October 1492 the discovery of America by CHRIST-opher Columbus. (CRISTO-bal Colon) The fact that Christopher Columbus (who was from Genoa, Italy = also part of the Roman Empire) appealed to a foreign court to offer his services proved that the discovery of America was not incidental. Portugal (also a province of the Roman Empire) and Castilla (Spain = Hispania = province of the Roman Empire) were well-advanced in the exploration of overseas mercantile routes and Sevilla, a wealthy and populous Spanish city, was by then an important commercial center. We know that the African routes were closed to Castilla in favor of Portugal, In 1479, under the Treaty of Alcacoba, Alfonso V of Portugal renounced his claims to Castilla and recognized the rights of Castilla over the Canary Islands, while Castilla recognized the rights of Portugal over the Azores, Cape Verde and Madeira. The Canary Islands were an excellent bridgehead for alternate routes. This is what Christopher Columbus offered and he offered it to a State that needed them, but which was also accustomed to and prepared for this type of venture. Unified Spain possessed in 1492 a powerful war machine, a solid economy, an exterior projection, naval experience including the exploration of trade routes and notable ...

TravelPod is a company of TripAdvisor™. Thymeoff's travel blog entry: "Before we set out back east across the pampa towards Córdoba and Buenos Aires we felt we needed to bid farewell to good friends that have been at our side for most of the past year - the Andes. We were first introduced on this trip in Ecuador, and we have since spent a lot of time getting to know each other in Peru, Bolivia, Chile and especially in Argentina. From the amazing active volcanoes in the Cordillera Real south of Quito, to the magnificent snowy peaks of the Cordillera Blanca north of Lima, and then the jagged summits of the FitzRoy Range, the stunning glaciers and icebergs of Perito Moreno, and the spectacular pillars of Torre del Paine all in the Cordillera Patagonica - these natural beauties have provided some of our most memorable highlights to date. How could we drive away without a farewell party? So what better than a hike in the snow! From Mendoza there is a natural route west through the imposing barrier of the Andes, which provides an important land link between Argentina and Chile. This crossing is officially named "El Paso de la Cumbre" (Summit Pass), but is more often referred to as the "Pass of the Liberators". From way back in the middle of the 16th century, when the city of Mendoza was founded, this whole area came under Chilean jurisdiction. It ...

  • The dominating (white?) Moors and Tuaregs Allot of the things should be taken with a grain of salt. The author of the bellow book has allot to do with the obsession with white Moors (The term moor is being used to divide people) and Tuaregs devastating Sudanese towns and overemphasis of Islam replacing native culture. This is mostly colonial propaganda. Allot of Afrocentric studies has been tainted by this sort of 19th century propaganda Ironically what is quoted bellow shows that these relations were not one sided. Timbuctoo the mysterious By Félix Dubois Having thus reduced the west, Askia turned his attention to the east, and reorganised that portion of his empire lying in the neighbourhood of Lake Chad (1514-1519). Agades had asserted its independence at the instigation of the Berbers, and he was obliged to reconquer it, as Sunni Ali had formerly subdued Jenne. He also subjugated the kingdoms of Katsina, Kano, Zegzey, and Sanfara. His empire now extended from the salt-mines of Thegazza in the north to Bandouk, or the country of Bammaku, in the south, and from Lake Chad in the east to the shores of the Atlantic in the west. ' It was a six-months' journey to cross this formidable empire,' says a contemporary. And yet the reign of Askia the Great is not so remarkable for its conquests as for the wise method of government he established in the country, and the pains he took to closely incorporate the new territories with the Songhoi empire. Unlike Sunni Ali, he was not content with simply ...
  • MEXICO MY 1st VIDEOS FOR AN ENGLISH CLASS in florida At least three great civilizations—the Mayas, the Olmecs, and later the Toltecs—preceded the wealthy Aztec empire, conquered in 15191521 by the Spanish under Hernando Cortés. Spain ruled Mexico as part of the viceroyalty of New Spain for the next 300 years until Sept. 16, 1810, when the Mexicans first revolted. They won independence in 1821. From 1821 to 1877, there were two emperors, several dictators, and enough presidents and provisional executives to make a new government on the average of every nine months. Mexico lost Texas (1836), and after defeat in the war with the US (18461848), it lost the area that is now California, Nevada, and Utah, most of Arizona and New Mexico, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. In 1855, the Indian patriot Benito Juárez began a series of reforms, including the disestablishment of the Catholic Church, which owned vast property. The subsequent civil war was interrupted by the French invasion of Mexico (1861) and the crowning of Maximilian of Austria as emperor (1864). He was overthrown and executed by forces under Juárez, who again became president in 1867.

  • documentary on the inca empire Short documentary about the end of the Incan Empire. The Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire was a process through which a group of Spaniards led by Francisco Pizarro succeeded in toppling the Inca Empire in the early 16th-century, as part of the discovery and conquest of the new world. They took advantage of a recent civil war in the empire (between the groups of the brothers: Atahualpa and Huascar) to capture the ruling monarch, Inca Atahualpa in the city of Cajamarca on November 16, 1532. In the following years the conquistadors managed to consolidate their power over the whole Andean region, repressing successive indigenous rebellions until the establishment of the Viceroyalty of Perú in 1542 and the fall of the resistance of Vilcabamba in 1572.

  • Beyond the Wall Documentary: Part 1/3 Cartagena de Indias is located on the Northern Carribean coast of Colombia. It was founded in 1533 by Pedro de Heredia and was an important center for Spanish settlement in South America. It was a commerce and transportation hub in the late viceroyalty era. It was also a slave port; only two cities were authorized to deal with Africans: Cartagena and Veracruz, Mexico. Today, Cartagena is Colombia's most important tourist destination. It has many beautiful beaches, hotels, cultural events, and has conserved the Colonial town, which is called the Walled City. Cartagena is a beautiful city definitely worth visiting. However, there is something very wrong with the city that needs to be addressed: poverty. Since Cartagena is a touristic city, the government for some reason feels it is more important to please the tourists and not the people of Cartagena. The government invests a lot of money to improve the city but usually only where the tourists go. My questions are: what about the people of Cartagena and its suburbs? Why is it that when you go beyond the walled city, it is poor? Cartagena has a poverty rate of around 80% and there are about 1200000 people. It is incredible that almost the whole population is under the poverty line. My mother is from Turbaco, Colombia.

It is the largest country in Central America with an area of 130373 km2. The country is bordered by Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west of the country, the Caribbean Sea to the east. The country's Caribbean coast is part of the Western Caribbean Zone.

The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and the territory became associated with the Viceroyalty of New Spain and later the Captaincy General of Guatemala.

Potosí is the only American city mentioned in Miguel de Cervantes's famous novel satirizing chivalry, Don Quixote, with clear reference to its riches. It is from Potosí that most of the Spanish silver came. Indian labour, forced by Francisco de Toledo, Count of Oropesa through the traditional Incan mita institution of contributed labor, came to die by the thousands, not simply from exposure and brutal labor, but by mercury poisoning: in the paved patio the silver-ore, having been crushed to powder by hydraulic machinery, was cold-mixed with mercury and trodden to an amalgam by the native workers with their bare feet.

  • Juan de Araujo: Hola, hala, que vienen gitanas Juan de Araujo (1648-1712) was a musician and composer of the former Viceroyalty of Peru. Born in Villafranca (Spain), he emigrated as a child with his family to Lima where he was appointed Cathedral's choir master in 1670. Later he became choir master at the Cathedral of Cuzco and in 1680 at the Cathedral of La Plata (today Sucre in Bolivia), where he stayed until his death.

It is located in the valleys of the Chillón, Rímac and Lurín rivers, on a desert coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Together with the seaport of Callao, it forms a contiguous urban area known as the Lima Metropolitan Area. With a population fast approaching 9 million, Lima is the fifth largest city in Latin America, behind Mexico City, São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. Lima has been defined as a beta world city. Lima was founded by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535, as La Ciudad de los Reyes, or "The City of Kings." It became the capital and most important city in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru. Following the Peruvian War of Independence, it became the capital of the Republic of Peru. Today, around one-third of the Peruvian population lives in the metropolitan area. PERU - (pronounced /pəˈruː/ ( listen); Spanish: Perú, Quechua: Perú, Aymara: Piruw), officially the Republic of Peru (Spanish: República del Perú, pronounced [reˈpuβlika ðel peˈɾu] ( listen)), is a country in western South America.

  • Nicaragua Nicaragua is a representative democratic republic. It is the largest country in Central America with an area of 130373 km2. The country is bordered by Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west of the country, the Caribbean Sea to the east. Falling within the tropics, Nicaragua sits between 11 degrees and 14 degrees north of the Equator in the Northern Hemisphere. Nicaragua's abundance of biologically significant and unique ecosystems contribute to Mesoamerica's designation as a biodiversity hotspot. The capital city of Nicaragua is Managua. Roughly one quarter of the nation's population lives in the Nicaraguan capital, making it the second largest city and metropolitan area in Central America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and the territory became associated with the Viceroyalty of New Spain and later the Captaincy General of Guatemala. Alongside the Spanish, the British established a protectorate on the eastern seaboard beginning in the middle of the 17th century, and ending roughly two centuries later. The eastern seaboard retains its colonial heritage; English is commonly spoken and the culture in Atlantic regions identify themselves as being more caribbean. In 1821, Nicaragua achieved its independence from Spain and joined the Federal Republic of Central America in 1823, later leaving the Federal Republic in 1838. Nicaragua increasingly became a subject of substantial interest because of its ...

  • Rites of Rule in Cities of the Spanish Empire This CLACS Research Colloquium aims to query Latin American cities as sites for the performance and contestation of authority, rights, and personhood. Are Latin American cities palimpsests of social memory, haunted by the coloniality of social relations bound into their structures? How do their 16th-century roles as 'global cities' play into their siting within 21st-century global networks? How have gated communities, 'urban renewal', or UNESCO patrimony programs reshaped them as theaters of signification? What are the implications of social movements seeking reversion of sovereignty and patrimony, or of rising rates of violence and fear? Alejandra B. Osorio is Associate Professor of History at Wellesley College. She offers courses in modern and colonial Latin America. Her researchfocuses on the intersection of politics and urban culture in colonial LatinAmerica. Her current project examines the baroque political and culturalmaking of Lima, the colonial capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. She is alsoworking on a collaborative project on cities in the Spanish and Portuguese Atlantic Worlds.

After declaring independence in 1809, 16 years of war followed before the establishment of the republic, named for Simón Bolívar, on August 6, 1825.
