The "Close the Gate" political cartoon was created during 1919. This was the era of the Red Scare, where Americans feared the Soviet Union and communism infiltrating American society. With this in mind, you can better understand the cartoon.
If you look, on the suitcase there is says "undesirables." This shows how the author sees the immigrants coming in as a detriment to society.
On the gate, it says "Immigration restrictions." If this gate is closed, it will effectively limit who is coming into the United States. These restrictions will help to ensure that foreigners won't spread their ideas/bad influences into American society.
Lastly, his head is shown as a bomb with a fuse light. This is symbolic, as it is saying that it is only a matter of time before this person does something bad.
What kind of events are you looking for and in what country??
Answer: Christopher Columbus and Fernando Magellan.
Explanation:
Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa (Italy). He ended up in a combination of life circumstances in Portugal and then in Spain. Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492. He sailed under the banner of the King of Spain. With this discovery, Columbus gained a great deal of popularity in Spanish. Columbus was convinced that he was in the waters of Asia, in fact at the time of his arrival, he was in the Bahamas.
Fernando Magellan was born in Portugal. In the sixteenth century, Portugal introduced big names in the world of seafaring and exploration. Magellan was enthusiastic, and to sail the world, he sought the help of the Portuguese king. After the king rejected his plan, he presented the King of Spain to Charles V. The king enthusiastically accepted him because Portugal was the direct rival of Spain. Thus, in about 1519, Fernando Magellan led the first expedition to sail the world.
The group that was apart of this was the Estates Of Realm. They were the broad social orders of the hierarchically conceived society.
