<span>The current thinking is around 200,000 years ago, but I would argue against this by saying that humans had not yet developed the same mental capacity that we have today, as some cognitive ability would have been needed in making art, which of course seems to have appeared around 70,000 years ago in its geometric form, where as the figurative animal paintings and carvings came to be around 40-35 thousand years ago. So, humans were physically definitely modern around 200ka, but mentally, this is unlikely. It is of course possible to argue that behavioural changes need not to be dictated by physiological or cognitive changes. Art could just be an invention</span>

In the 1890s, Cuba wanted to get their freedom from Spain. People like Jose Marti petitioned Americans to side with the Cubans and the poor treatment they were receiving from Spain. Also, there was a lot of support in the newspapers called "yellow journalism" where American people were sympathizing with the cause to go against Spain in war. This especially was true with a man nicknamed "The Butcher", Valeriano Weyler, who was a military leader from Spain placed in Cuba to put people in concentration camps.
As a result, America felt a strong sense of patriotism and business reasons to go to war with Spain. After the <em>USS Maine</em> exploded, the United States declared war on Spain.
A similar situation happened in the Philippines, where Spain had a high influence and America did want to free the Philippines from Spain, but then also had their own agenda to take over the Philippines, as it was in a strategic location in the Pacific for trade.
The resolution of the XYZ affair shows the United States wanted to establish diplomatic relationships with other countries and avoid non-ethical negotiations.
The XYZ affair was a diplomatic conflict between the United States and France, this conflict occurred by the end of the 18th century and led to a naval war.
This diplomatic conflict was considered controversial because members of the French government tried to bribe the American diplomats to begin the negotiations. This event was opposed by the American government, and the conflict between both countries increased.
All this situation led the United States to two main actions:
- The creation of the Alien and Sedition act that restricted immigrants, especially those from "hostile nations".
- The creation of protocols for official communications and negotiations between countries.
These two actions show the willingness of the United States to create diplomatic relationships with other countries but avoid a similar situation that involved bribes or non-ethical communication.
