I need this same question answered, do you have it yet?
Hi there, there were in total three motivations for European colonization which were God, glory, and gold.
Europeans had just recently arrived in Europe. Financially, culturally, scientifically, they had advanced... Basically, battles had ended due to newfound prosperity (Spain was financially more stable and with craving for power). Additionally, they had certain ideas about geography that led them to believe that there were unexplored regions of the planet. It's important to note that Christophe Colomb (let's call him Colomb) wasn't the smartest or most knowledgeable person in the room. He did really believe he was pursuing the "Indians," therefore it just so happens that he ended himself in America. His journal effectively captures the period's Europeans' avarice, sense of entitlement, and desire to "possess" the entire planet. Today, if we learned of a new location on Earth that hasn't yet been explored, we would act similarly and go exploring. Who could accomplish it? those with the most income, technology, and resources. Because it was the only region in the globe having those resources, Europe was the one investigating in the fifteenth century. It was unaware of the importance of every human existence (I'm generalizing here; not all people were thus illiterate), of distinctions, or of alternative points of view (religion, beliefs). Even though many people lost their lives on these earlier journeys, which weren't necessarily undertaken for the best reasons, they did help shape how Europe is now. Although there was existing diversity, respect, new ideals, and cultural interests somehow emerged. The world is what it is now because of history. Who can say what America would look like now if these discoveries hadn't taken place? This is a question for another time.
Thank you,
Eddie
Arizona and Sonora share the same ecosystem, the Sonoran Desert region. They share common history, several Native American tribes on both sides of the border, and they have six border twin towns. The natural boundary is 361 miles long and it has never been a totally closed border. Arizona needed Sonora's miners and ranchers and they have been the biggest source of migrants to the USA.
Because of the constant flow of people across the border, the Arizona-Sonora region <em>developed its own separate identity.</em> Many people living there are bilingual and commute daily to the other side of the border for work. Their value system has been affected by the proximity of a different culture. As a result of that, intercultural and interracial mixing took place that created a generation of people who feel a connection to both countries at the same time. Prejudices have been reduced and stereotypes abolished.
<em>The interdependence</em> between the USA and Mexico has always been and still is business related. Starting with vegetables trading, the cross border shopping and manufacturing developed into big industry today. A major economy connection has developed through the maquiladora sector. Arizona based companies operate about 30% of maquiladoras in Sonora and Sonora's economy is dependent on this and the automobile industry in Arizona.
Cross-border shopping, tourism ( for pleasure and medical reasons), joined environmental projects, bilingual schools and cultural events are all parts of the interdependence between the two countries.
Because the french army pounded its way into the western front of Russia, but the Russians were actually just retreating and letting the french come in. The winter set in, and none of the french troops had efficient winter gear. Many died. Retreat was a must, this has a large impact on the Russian way of thinking though, many Russians troops were exposed to the Napoleonic Code. this led to to many reformist thinkers in Russia soon after. <span />
