The colony of Jamaica obtained its independence from the United Kingdom on August 6, 1962. In Jamaica, this date is celebrated as Independence Day, a national holiday. In the elections of 1962, the JLP defeated the PNP, which ended in the ascension of Alejandro Bustamante to the leadership of the government in April of that year. On July 19, 1962, the Parliament of the United Kingdom approved the Act of Independence of Jamaica, granting independence from August 6. On that day, the Union Jack got off ceremoniously and was replaced by the Jamaican flag across the country. Princess Margaret opened the first session of the Jamaican Parliament, on behalf of her sister. The First Independence Festival of Jamaica was held.

The independence movement of Puerto Rico refers to the various initiatives, through the history of the island, to obtain independence, first from Spain and then from the United States. The movement has been represented by dozens of groups and organizations over the years, as well as by thousands of individuals who share the common interest for obtaining the political independence of Puerto Rico.

Although unlike Jamaica, Puerto Rico did not obtain its absolute independence, since it is part of the US, we can say that both countries obtained constitutional governments and adopted democracy as a way of choosing their governments.

How did Ancient Asian Empires successfully evolve from isolation into globally influential cultures?​
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The complex and powerful states, dynasties, and civilizations that emerged in East Asia were strongly influenced by the environments in which they prospered.

Explanation:

What were the geologic and geographic advantages favoring certain locations that facilitated the establishment of villages and towns — some of which grew into cities — in various regions of East Asia? What role did climate play in enabling powerful states, and eventually agrarian civilizations, to appear in some areas while other locations remained better suited for foraging? Let’s begin to answer these questions with a story about floods in China.

China’s two great rivers — the Yangtze and the Yellow — have been susceptible to regular flooding for as long as we can measure in the historical and geological record; nothing, however, can compare to the catastrophic floods of August 19, 1931. In just one day the Yangtze River rose an astonishing 53 feet above its normal level, unleashing some of the most destructive floodwaters ever seen. These floods were a product of a “perfect storm” of conditions — monsoons, heavy snowmelt, and tremendous and unexpected rains that pounded huge areas of southern China. As all this water poured into the Yangtze’s tributaries, the river rose until it burst its banks for hundreds of miles. The results were devastating — 40 million people impacted, 24 million forced to relocate, and more than 140,000 people drowned. An area the size of Oklahoma was underwater, and the southern capital city of Nanjing was flooded for six weeks.
