Before New York was possessed by the English, it was controlled by the Dutch. Under Dutch rule, this territory was actually called New Amsterdam. 
Dutch Governor Peter Stuyvesant abdicates New Amsterdam, the capital of New Netherland, to an English naval squadron under Colonel Richard Nicolls. Dutch Stuyvesant hoped to resist English, but then he lacked manpower and his subordinates refused to support him. Following its acquisition, New Amsterdam’s name was changed to New York<span>, in honor of the Duke of York, who organized the mission.</span>

What did sputnik lead to?
larisa [96]
Sputnik led to many things. First off, Americans got pretty freaked out when the Soviets were able to lauch an artificial satellite into space, and it made Americans fearful that if the Soviets could launch something into space, then they could launch nuclear missiles to anywhere in the world. Second, it started the Space race and NASA was created. In addition, Congress passed the National Defense Education Act, which is pretty much the reason why the education system encourages students to take more math and science classes and well as foreign languages.

How can the creation of a new empire impact of people and culture of a region
Ksju [112]
It can either bring people together into a new fused culture, or it can diffuse them. If various people exist of various cultures and a new empire rises then the leader has to accept all the people into his empire. This means that the cultures all exist and since they all have to behave according to what the emperor says, the cultures often mix and create somewhat of a mixed culture.If the empire separates people then it leads to diffusion because new aspects of cultures develop independently.
