The native population of the Spanish colonies (i.e., Native Americans in the area) died off due to wars between Spanish settlers and natives, poor working conditions in enslavement, and the tons of diseases brought over by the Spanish that Native Americans' bodies did not know how to fight all drastically wiped out native Spanish populations. They had to bring in a lot of slaves from Africa to make up for these losses.
It is recorded that the Hominids discovered fire and mastered it, so I would say that the answer is true.

Answer:
because truman viewed friends as a vital ally in the struggle against the spread of communism and postwar Europe...to hold the line against the spread of world communism.
In the Balkans, Serbia had won autonomy in 1817, and southern Greece won independence in the 1830s. But many Serbs and Greeks still lived in the Balkans under Ottoman rule. The Ottoman empire was home to other national groups, such as Bulgarians and Romanians. During the 1800s, various subject peoples staged revolts against the Ottomans, hoping to set up their own independent states.
Such nationalist stirrings became mixed up with the ambitions of the great European powers. In the mid-1800s, Europeans came to see the Ottoman empire as "the sick man of Europe." Eagerly, they scrambled to divide up Ottoman lands. Russia pushed south toward the Black Sea and Istanbul, which Russians still called Constantinople. Austria-Hungary took control of the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This action angered the Serbs, who also had hoped to expand into that area. Meanwhile, Britain and France set their sights on other Ottoman lands in the Middle East and North Africa.
