European societies, like Spain, made technological advancements and started to improve long-distance travel, which resulted in a broadening of influence. Diamond explains these aspects that led to conquest and victory for the Spanish - guns, germs and steel. The difference between Eurasian and societies in the Americas, Africa, and Australia regions is that these places lacked suitable domesticated species, faced many geological barriers, and remained isolated to their lifestyle never significantly expanding nomadically or regionally. This made them more vulnerable to diseases. Diseases was the biggest factor that wiped out the indigenous societies in Inca.
Though Argentina and America are diverse in religion there are both huge differences and similarities in what religions are most prominent. Both countries have a religious pluralism that allows for multiple belief systems to co-exist within each of the countries. When looking at what similarities and differences it is also important to look at the amount of involvement the individual and the population has with that religion. In Argentina, Roman Catholicism is the most prominent religion, counting for between 76-90% of its population.
During the 1920s the United States continued its attitude, which aimed to directly defend its interests in the region. 3. Compare and contrast Brazil, Argentina and Mexico during the late 19th/early 20th century. Brazil is characterized by huge and good agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and service sectors, and a rapidly expanding middle class, Brazil's economy overpowered that of all other South American countries, and Brazil is expanding its presence in world markets. Argentina benefits from rich natural resources, a highly literate population, an export-oriented agricultural area, and an industrial base.
The Aztecs were one of the most famous and successful early civilizations of the Americas that we know of, who ruled an empire in the modern day country of Mexico from 1350 to 1519. From their capital city of Tenochtitlan, now known as Mexico City, to their daily routines, the Aztecs had many achievements that they deserve recognition for. Two very important components in the history of the Aztecs are agriculture and human sacrifice. Although they both play huge roles in Aztec culture, historians should emphasize on their methods of farming. The reasons why historians should center their focus on the Aztecs' agricultural techniques are they affected the growth of their empire, were used on a huge scale, and were very unique in comparison to other
Mesoamerican cultures were able to become powerful and build large
This was primarily caused by the Europeans. Before this change, the social structure was somewhat standard: rulers were atop and the general population far below them. After having arrived and colonized, the Europeans almost single-handedly changed the social structure of Latin America. They immediately took control of the areas they discovered, viewing themselves at the top and natives (and obviously slaves) as inferior. The new structure was based mostly on race and/or origin.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like when the Mayan and Aztec lived ? The traditions of the Mayan and Aztec religion and art are very similar but have their differences. The Mayan and Aztec was polytheism (belief or worship of one or more god). Both Mayan and Aztec people believed in human sacrifices.
The relationship between Chicanos and Central Americans is a unique one because there is often a misconception and racialization that Central Americans and Chicano are one in the same based on physical characteristics and the way their cultures have intertwined. As Alvarado mention in her article, mutual misrepresentation both groups have not been able to fully represent themselves as either Chicano/Chicana or Central American or perhaps a mixture of both. Both Chicanos and Central Americans for years have occupied the same places and have very similar customs leading to the generalization that all brown people are Mexican or of Mexican descent. As stated in Alvarado’s paper “The Central American borderlands include the isthmus through Mexico
The Spanish eventually destroyed the Aztecs and other Latin American civilization in a similar way. This has caused indigenous Latin American people of contemporary society to become disconnected to the culture of their ancestors before the European conquest.
Today I will be sharing and comparing the similarities and differences between the Aztec empire and the Inca empire. Although the tribes came from different locations and don’t have much in common, they do have different things that make them alike, such as the fact that they both have important events that occur around the same time and that they both eat some of the same foods. These two empires are very different as well, but most tribes and empires are. Today I will be comparing the similarities between the Inca and Aztec empire. The three main crops that the Inca grew were ones that contained cocoa beans, beans, and vegetables.
The Colombian exchange was an age of European exploration that began in the late 1400’s, and included the widespread sharing of animals, plants, cultures, ideas, technologies, and diseases between Afro-Eurasian cultures and the native peoples of the Americas. The discovery of the Americans by European explorers brought detrimental effects to the new world through social, cultural, and economical changes. Large social changes became apparent as the Colombian Exchange advanced, and many of these changes can still be identified throughout recent history. For example, when the importation of African slave labor began, the combination of Europeans, Africans, and indigenous peoples led to the the developing of a social hierarchy based on race
When the settlers went to start up the agricultural industry in the rural areas of Latin America, there was obviously a smaller population of both natives and Europeans in that region. Colonisers needed workers and locals needed work; both parties had no choice but to interact with one another. Ortiz states that everybody was “snatched from their original social groups, their own cultures destroyed and crushed under the weight of the cultures in existence here” (Ortiz 1947: 98). As the Europeans needed to raise funds in order to pay for their transportation costs from home, they required gold, silver and sugar for export. For the workers gathering these resources, the indigenous people supplied them food and clothes.
Some differences between West Africa and America. Although they bear some superficial similarities, the differences between life in Africa and that of America is clear. Firstly, I would like to start with the weather. There are only two seasons in Africa; the rainy season and the dry season. The rainy season is generally the time of the year when the rain brings new life in the wilderness areas of Africa and bringing forth new growth.

A quote which describes this best is one by Uruguayan journalist Eduardo Galeano “Latin America is the region of open veins. Everything, from the discovery until our times, has always been transmuted into European— or later United States— capital, and as such has accumulated in distant centers of power. Everything: the soil, its fruits and its mineral-rich depths, the people and their capacity to work and to consume, natural resources and human resources” (Galeano,
