U.S. banks stopped investments in Europe and demanded repayment of foreign loans
Answer:
Minzu means nation in Chinese, and refers to the Chinese nation as the collection of five large ethnicities: the Han Chinese, the Man Chinese or Manchus, the Meng or Mongols, the Hui or Muslim Chinese, and Zang or Tibetan Chinese.
Minzu is a recognition of the multi-ethnic character of the Chinese nation, but it is also a nationalist concept that is used to suppress any attempt of secession.
Both Taiwan and Mainland China were founded under this principle.
Federalism is a form of government that divides sovereign power across at least two political units. In the context of the United States, power is divided among the national and state governments so that each government has some independent authority.
Assuming that you are referring to the territories of today's Mexico, formerly know as <em>New Spain</em>, here is the paragraph:
As Hernan Cortes campaigned throughout the first continental lands of America, the idea that many Spaniards, probably even himself, harbored was that of founding Spain all over again in the newly found and conquered lands. A mix of nostalgia and pride for the Motherland, Spain, must have prompted the <em>Conquistadors</em> to name the cities and provinces they founded after cities and provinces already existing in Spain. One reason for using already familiar names had to do with the difficulty of pronouncing the original names of the places given by the native people, the other one had to do with a sense of control, since most people hold the belief that naming things bestows them with a degree of control over them. And yet another reason may have been the comfort of living in places named after their old home towns and provinces the Spaniards had come from.
