Allison Yi 10/17/16 10th Grade Global History Period 7 Introduction: Revolutions were significant events in history that dramatically affected the rights of the inhabitants. The Latin American revolution as well as the Haitian revolution were led to gain independence from the colonial power of France, Spain, and Portugal.

June 6th 1944, probably the most important day in history. Not only for the United States but also for all of Europe. D-day started the fall of Nazi Germany who took over pretty much all of Europe during the time of Adolf Hitler. The United States got involved in WW2 because of another event called Pearl Harbor.
From 1811 to 1830, Latin American colonies began to announce their independence from Spain. A group called the Creoles, who were Spanish blood born in the Americas, led this fight for independence. They were the second highest social class. Creoles led the fight for independence so they could gain power. They did this by striving to improve the economic and political situation.
The American Revolutionary War has been known to inspire other nations to fight for their independence. This revolution has also given birth to a new nation that was built on a new fundamental system. But what led to a war between the greatest empire and a new imperfect colony were events like: The French and Indian War of 1754, The Sugar Act of 1764, The Stamp Act of 1765, The Boston Massacre of 1770 and a few other occurrences. Due to years of lack of attention and misuse of powerful from England had forced the American colonists to break away from their motherland.
Contrast between Chile and USA During my whole life I’ve been back and forth, living between Chile and USA. I’ve lived in both countries for almost the same amount of years each. I think if I hadn’t lived here when I was smaller, I would feel a big cultural shock. Geographically Chile is very extensive and in length, we have a great variety of climates and landforms. We can take the bus from the middle of a region and in 1hour be either at the mountains full of snow or at the sea.
Throughout the history of the United States, there are many turning points, major historical events, which lead to important social, economic and political changes. The Declaration of Independence marks one of those turning points. The Declaration of Independence changed the course of the U.S remarkably and led to the independent of the U.S from England. It has a profound effect on today’s government but it affected the colonists in 1776 greatly. The Declaration of Independence influenced as whole and influenced as each individual part.
Therefore, on the 11th day of each November, we push moments aside to recall and thank living and deceased veterans who shape the world into the sphere it spins as today. Swing by one of these remarkable places to truly reminisce and express gratitude
We celebrate Veterans Day every year on November 11th to honor the men and women who served and is still serving our wonderful country. We shouldn’t honor a veteran just once a year but everyday because they are protecting us everyday. When we say the pledge in the mornings we should be thinking about our veterans and what they did for us. Many veterans we get to still celebrate with and some were not so lucky and didn’t make it back home to their loved ones.
After three centuries of colonial rule, Spanish and Portuguese America got independence. Between 1808 and 1826 all of Latin America except the Spanish colonies of Cuba and Puerto Rico remained under Spanish rule. This was the result of a combination of long-building tensions in colonial rule and a series of external events. The reforms imposed by the Spanish in the 18th century provoked great instability in the relations between the rulers and their colonial subjects in the Americas. Many Creoles felt Bourbon policy to be an unfair attack on their wealth, political power, and social status.
The First Junta was created with lawyers, businessmen, clerics, politicians, etc from the provinces and Buenos Aires. At first INDEPENDENCE WAS NOT THE GOAL. In fact the Revolution wanted to keep being part of the Spanish Empire, but with their own government and trade rights, once the King of Spain recovers its crown. The people that led the May Revolution and later executed the Independence War and the Liberation of America, were strongly idealist and masons with a high influence in humanism and the new ideals from the US Revolution and the Enlightenment. Mostly in these movements in Spain, France and UK.
Veterans Day is distinct from most holidays. It is something that should hold true to everyone’s heart. No matter if you personally are a veteran or not, chances are you know someone that is.

The United States set aside this day to honor our veterans, however we should honor them as much and as often as possible.
It is a day that is set aside to remember and honor those who have died, according to the University of New Mexico. That day represents the day before Lent and is celebrated as well. Another notable day is September 16th, which marks Cinco de Mayo the day the Mexican Military had a victory over the French in 1862. Cinco de Mayo is also celebrated in the United States more than it is in Mexico.
I’m the first generation of my family to be Mexican -American, but I have been introduced to the Mexican culture since I was born. I appreciate the difficulties my parents have faced to make me the person that I am today even though I wasn’t born in Mexico my parents have taught me the language and the culture which I’m so proud of being part of. For others being Hispanic is actually being born in any Latin American countries which is not true at all. Being Hispanic is much more than my cultural background it actually describes how much I appreciate my culture and how I get to experience things other people don’t. I fit into the Hispanic community through the experiencing the culture first hand ,participating in traditions and planning to include my culture in my future.
In earlier times the land of Colombia was under Spanish rule. July 20th, 1810 the residents of Bogota protested against Spanish rule fighting for their independence. Their independence was granted freeing Colombia from the Spanish. The people of Colombia come together to celebrate “Colombian Independence Day” on the 20th of July to remember and celebrate their freedom.
Independence is the goal that everyone on this earth desires to achieve. This goal to achieve independence can unite people, and bring out the best or most passionate side of all who aspire to be independent. Independence can be defined differently for everyone, but the most simple and obvious definition is the state of being free from outside control. For a country, it can be freeing themselves from another country; for a race, it can be freeing themselves from segregation and persecution. There are multiple reasons in which people desire to achieve their independence and freedom.
