The United States experienced major waves of immigration during the
colonial era, the first part of the 19th century and from the 1880s to
1920. Many immigrants came to America seeking greater economic
opportunity, while some, such as the Pilgrims in the early 1600s,
arrived in search of religious freedom. From the 17th to 19th centuries,
hundreds of thousands of African slaves came to America against their
will. The first significant federal legislation restricting immigration
was the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. Individual states regulated
immigration prior to the 1892 opening of Ellis Island, the country’s
first federal immigration station. New laws in 1965 ended the quota
system that favored European immigrants, and today, the majority of the
country’s immigrants hail from Asia and Latin America.

The eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883 is considered one of the most violent and deadly in history. In August 1883, this volcanic activity ended with the lives of approximately 36,000 people. One of the ways in which this activity directly affected the population of the region was by the blasts of the volcano and the consequent thermal injuries. Another way in which the population was affected was by the tsunamis generated by the collapse of the volcano. Finally, the eruption had an impact on the global climate, generating temperature drops throughout the world.
The Romans were implementing the Latin language as the language of the administration for both, practical reasons and also assimilation of the native population they have managed to conquer.
By making the local chieftains learn, speak, and use the Latin language, the Romans played very well tactically, because in this way the leaders of the tribes were slowly becoming assimilated into the Roman culture, and once the local leaders are assimilated it has a chain reaction and the people that are under their guidance are starting to assimilate as well.
