Answer:

The roots of Independence

The extensive Spanish colonies in North, Central and South America (which included half of South America, present-day Mexico, Florida, islands in the Caribbean and the southwestern United States) declared independence from Spanish rule in the early nineteenth century and by the turn of the twentieth century, the hundreds of years of the Spanish colonial era had come to a close. How did this happen? The Enlightenment ideals of democracy—equality under the law, separation of church and state, individual liberty—encouraged colonial independence movements in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The Enlightenment began in eighteenth-century Europe as a philosophical movement that took science, reason, and inquiry as its guiding principles in order to challenge traditions and reform society. The results of these changes in thought are reflected in both the American and French revolutions—where a monarchical form of government (where the King ruled by divine right) was replaced with a Republic empowered by the people. In Spain, the occupation by Napoleon during the Peninsular War (1808-1814) also inspired liberators to fight against foreign invaders. The examples of rebellion in the British Colonies, France, and Spain empowered Latin American revolutionaries who speculated on whether independence was a realistic and viable alternative to colonial rule. The term “Latin America” originated in the nineteenth century, when Argentinean jurist Carlos Calvo and French engineer Michel Chevalier, in reference to the Napoleonic invasion of Mexico in 1862, used the term “Latin,” referring to those whose national language—like Spanish—was derived from Latin, to denote difference from the “Anglo-Saxon” English-speaking people of North America. It was largely the creoles (pure-blooded Spaniards who were born in the Americas) who instigated the fight for liberation. Creoles remained connected to Europe through their ancestry and since they were often educated abroad, these ideas of self-determination held great appeal for them. Peninsulares (people born in Spain, but who resided in the Spanish colonies) on the other hand were more directly tied to Spain in ancestry and allegiance. In 1793, the Colombian creole Antonio Nariño, who would later serve as military general in Colombia’s struggle for independence, printed a translation of the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, demonstrating the bilingual and bicultural aspect of Latin American independence. Translations of speeches made by the founding fathers of the United States, including Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, also circulated in Latin America. Not all creoles however, believed in independence and democracy—in fact, there existed an opposition of creole royalists who supported the Spanish Crown and allied themselves with the Peninsulares. Creole patriots (as opposed to the royalists) were attracted to the idea of independence and thought of themselves as Latin Americans, not as Spaniards. Despite having been born and raised in a Spanish viceroyalty to Spanish parents, they were culturally connected to Latin America. Situated at the interface of both identities, creole patriots considered themselves descendants of, but different from, the Spanish.

Why do you think Churchill felt the need to discuss the iron curtain while at a graduation in America?

Sladkaya [172]

Churchill meant that the Soviet Union had separated the eastern European countries from the west so that no one knew what was going on behind the “curtain.” He used the word “iron” to signify that it was impenetrable.

Astronomy: The Mayans had their own solar calendar and knew the periodicity of eclipses. They inscribed on stone monuments formulas to predict solar eclipses and the heliacal rise of Venus.

Archictecture: Gigantic limestone structures covered in stucco were its hallmark. The buildings were adorned with masks and crests carved in stone and stucco and generally painted red, due to the large amount of limestone available in the Mayan lands of the Petén; the lime and mixture was easily produced allowing the construction of impressive pyramids and palaces, generally the pyramids in the pre-classic period were crowned with three wooden temples and thatched roof, known as "Triadic Complexes"; during the classic they had one or two rooms with the characteristic Mayan vault.

Astrology: there are 20 daily signs, each month corresponds to an animal: Crocodile (Imix), Wind (Ik), House (Akba), Lizard (Kan), Snake (Chiccan), Death (Cimi), Deer (Manik), Rabbit (Lamat), Water (Muluc), Dog (Oc), Monkey (Chuen), Grass (Eb), Reed (Ben), Jaguar (Ix), Eagle (Men), Vulture (Cib)

For the Mayans, the Nawales were considered very important for the Mayan culture since they represented the outside, Attitude and elements of Nature, each Mayan had one.
