<span>Caribbean Islands Table of ContentsEuropean settlements in the Caribbean began with Christopher Columbus. Carrying an elaborate feudal commission that made him perpetual governor of all lands discovered and gave him a percentage of all trade conducted, Columbus set sail in September 1492, determined to find a faster, shorter way to China and Japan. He planned to set up a trading-post empire, modeled after the successful Portuguese venture along the West African coast. His aim was to establish direct commercial relations with the producers of spices and other luxuries of the fabled East, thereby cutting out the Arab middlemen who had monopolized trade since capturing Constantinople in 1453. He also planned to link up with the lost Christians of Abyssinia, who were reputed to have great quantities of gold--a commodity in great demand in Europe. Finally, as a good Christian, Columbus wanted to spread Christianity to new peoples. Columbus, of course, did not find the East. Nevertheless, he called the peoples he met "Indians," and, because he had sailed west, referred to the region he found as the "West Indies."</span>

Jacob dreamt that he was driving a shiny red sports car and that he was pulled over by the police, but the officer was his best
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Manifest

Latent.

Explanation:

According to psychoanalysis, dreams are made up of two different components:

  • Manifest content: This refers to the actual dream, in other words, the images, and the literal content of the dream and the story of it.
  • Latent content:  This refers to the hidden meaning the manifest content is hiding. In other words, is the interpretation of the literal content to give it a meaning based on the symbols and the story of the individual

In this example Jacob dreams that he was driving a shiny red sports car and that he was pulled over by the police who was his friend. Since this is t<u>he literal content, </u>Jacob's actual dream represents the manifest content.

On the other hand, his psychoanalyst interpreted this dream as meaning that Jacob feels his friend is holding him back, since this is an <u>interpretation</u> of the dream, it represents the latent content.

The issue of debt caused considerable hardship during the period of Confederation. Who did the government owe the most money to?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

By the time of the onset of the American Revolution, Britain had attained the status of a military and economic superpower. The thirteen American colonies were one part of a global empire generated by the British in a series of colonial wars beginning in the late seventeenth century and continuing on to the mid eighteenth century. The British military establishment increased relentlessly in size during this period as it engaged in the Nine Years War (1688-97), the War of Spanish Succession (1702-13), the War of Austrian Succession (1739-48), and the Seven Years War (1756-63). These wars brought considerable additions to the British Empire. In North America alone the British victory in the Seven Years War resulted in France ceding to Britain all of its territory east of the Mississippi River as well as all of Canada and Spain surrendering its claim to Florida (Nester, 2000).
