The term, "ghetto" was originated in Venice. It was used to describe the segregated area that Jewish people were living. they were segregated and had to live in that area, not just by their own choice.

The term was adopted to mean walled-off sections of cities for any minority group.

In WWII, Poland had ghettos that housed Jewish people were set up by the Nazis. and people were not only housed there, but could go come and go freely.

In the U.S., as many immigrant waves went through, the minority immigrants tended to be poor and live in areas that had the same religion, ethnicity, or race as themselves. They used the term ghetto, as well. Today, ghetto is still used to describe areas of town that have mostly poor minority people living there.

5. What lands did Spain lay claim to and how did Portugal react?
mote1985 [20]
As the Portuguese were establishing trading posts along the west coast of Africa, Spain watched with increasing envy. The Spanish monarchs also desired a direct sea route to Asia. In 1492, an Italian sea captain, Christopher Columbus, convinced Spain to finance a bold plan: finding a route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In October of that year, Columbus reached an island in the Caribbean. He was mistaken in his thought that he had reached the East Indies. But his voyage would open the way for European colonization of the Americas-a process that would forever change the world. The immediate impact of Columbus's voyage, however, was to increase tensions between Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese believed that Columbus had indeed reached Asia. Portugal suspected that Columbus had claimed for Spain lands that Portuguese sailors might have reached first. The rivalry between Spain and Portugal grew more tense. In 1493, Pope Alexander VI stepped in to keep peace between the two nations. He suggested an imaginary dividing line, drawn north to south, through the Atlantic Ocean. All lands to the west of the line, known as the Line of Demarcation, would be Spain's. These lands included most of the Americas. All lands to the east of the line would belong to Portugal. Portugal complained that the line gave too much to Spain. So it was moved farther west to include parts of modern-day Brazil for the Portuguese. In 1494, Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, in which they agreed to honor the line. The era of exploration and colonization was about to begin in earnest.
