Why do you think the Spanish explorers in 1541 were so astonished (surprised) by the Palo Duro Canyon?
Helen [10]

Answer:

The 16th-century Spanish explorer Francisco Vázquez de Coronado (c. 1510-1554) was serving as governor of an important province in New Spain (Mexico) when he heard reports of the so-called Seven Golden Cities located to the north. In 1540, Coronado led a major Spanish expedition up Mexico’s western coast and into the region that is now the southwestern United States. Though the explorers found none of the storied treasure, they did discover the Grand Canyon and other major physical landmarks of the region, and clashed violently with local Indians. With his expedition labeled a failure by Spanish colonial authorities, Coronado returned to Mexico, where he died in 1554.

Francisco Vázquez de Coronado’s Early Life and Career

Born circa 1510 into a noble family in Salamanca, Spain, Coronado was a younger son, and as such did not stand to inherit the family title or estate. As such, he decided to seek his fortune in the New World. In 1535, he traveled to New Spain (as Mexico was then known) with Antonio de Mendoza, the Spanish viceroy, whom his family had ties with from his father’s service as royal administrator in Granada.

Did you know? A string of Indian settlements built near what is now west-central New Mexico (near the Arizona border) by the Zuni Pueblo tribes inspired tales of the Seven Golden Cities of Cíbola, the mythic empire of riches that Francisco Vázquez de Coronado was seeking in his expedition of 1540-42.

Within a year after his arrival, Coronado married Beatriz, the young daughter of Alonso de Estrada, former colonial treasurer. The match earned him one of the largest estates in New Spain. In 1537, Coronado gained Mendoza’s approval by successfully putting down rebellions by black slaves and Indians working in the mines. The following year, he was appointed as governor of the province of Nueva Galicia, a region that comprised much of what became the Mexican states of Jalisco, Nayarit and Sinaloa.

De Coronado’s Search for the Seven Golden Cities

By 1540, reports brought back from explorations made by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and confirmed by missionary Fray Marcos de Niza convinced Mendoza of the presence of vast riches to the north, located in the so-called Seven Golden Cities of Cíbola. Excited by the prospect of such immense wealth, Coronado joined Mendoza as an investor in a major expedition, which he himself would lead, of some 300 Spaniards and more than 1,000 Native Americans, along with many horses, pigs, ships and cattle. The main thrust of the expedition departed in February 1540 from Compostela, the capital of Nueva Galicia.

Four arduous months later, Coronado led an advance group of cavalrymen to the first city of Cíbola, which in reality was the Zuni Pueblo town of Hawikuh, located in what would become New Mexico. When the Indians resisted Spanish efforts to subdue the town, the better-armed Spaniards forced their way in and caused the Zunis to flee; Coronado was hit by a stone and wounded during the battle. Finding no riches, Coronado’s men set out on further explorations of the region. During one of these smaller expeditions, García López de Cárdenas became the first European to sight the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River in what is now Arizona. Another group, led by Pedro de Tovar, traveled to the Colorado Plateau.

How did post-world war two independence movements in Vietnam differ from those in India
dybincka [34]

Vietnam was the colony of the French Empire from 1862 until 1949. During the Second World War, Vietnam was occupied by Japan. After the capitulation of Japan, Viet Minh national independence coalition seized Hanoy in August 1945 and established a provisional or better-known internal government. Viet Minh was considered by the Communist Party of Vietnam as a kind of national independent front.

According to the 1954 Geneva Agreement, Vietnam is divided into two parts - North and South.

In 1955, a referendum was held in the southern part, which is known as perhaps the biggest fraud ever. Ngô Đình Diệm the coalition leader, along with the former emperor, won 98.2% of the vote. Voters were forced to wear voter papers in different colors: for and against the coalition.

Anyone who had color paper against the coalition would have been beaten, tortured.

After the referendum, the southern part became the Republic of Vietnam and the northern Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

India has long been a British colony. After the Indians assistance to the British in the First World War, reforms were carried out in 1919, which gave India the right to self-legislation. This made the first move towards autonomy. This led to the strengthening of the two parties within the Assembly, which continued with the division: the Indian National Congress, led by Jawaharlal Nehru and the Muslim League under Muhammad Ali Jinnah. After many divergences, incidents and killings, there is a separation on India and Pakistan according to the Mountbatten Plan.

It can be concluded that Vietnam is much more violent and rebellious, India is more diplomatic, although there were equally killing.

¿Es la identidad algo fijo?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

La identidad no es algo dado, no es fija. no es la suma de características sociales, psicológicas y/o culturales. ... Sin embargo, no se trata de un acto refejo sino de la construcción de un concepto de persona, cuyo contenido varía según la cultura (Giddens, 1997).
