Jamaica gained it's Independence from Britain in 1962, though is was ruled by the Spanish for over 100 years prior to the British taking control in 1655. Britain held onto Jamaica for a whopping 307 years. Independence was and is considered a good thing by many Jamaicans, but in the modern era, almost 60% of Jamaican citizens say they'd prefer to be ruled by the British again, very different from most former British colonies.

Hi! The cultural aspects of the ciry-state impact the from of government because the greeks were in some ways independently -minded and developed a culture of individual freedom where it was considered by many a disgrace to work for someone else. This independence led the lower classes to want to participate in government, and promoted democracy - not today's representative democracy where a member of parliament is supposed to represent the citizens within an electorate, but rather direct democracy, where all the citizens met in assembly each fortnight and made decisions directly on matters put to them by a council, which latter saw to the implementation of their decisions. So I hope that help :)

Louis Pasteur- created vaccines
Gregor Mendel- discovered heredity
Joseph lister - proved the importance of sterilizing medical equipment
George Washington carver- pioneered new agricultural techniques
These two regions were singled out because many Americans held the perception that individuals from southern and eastern Europe could not be assimilated properly into the culture of the United States. Their languages, customs, and religions were thought to be too different from those of preceding generations of immigrants for full scale integration into American culture. The fear was that these newer immigrants would always be "hyphenates,” or citizens who would call themselves, or be called by others, by such hyphenated names as "Polish-Americans,” "Greek-Americans,” and "Italian-Americans.”
Beyond the fear of being swamped by unassimilable immigrants from eastern and southern Europe was the fear that these immigrants’ increasing numbers would depress wages for American workers. In addition, some people feared the potential of the rising political power of the new class of immigrants.
