...the Initiators of the Filipino Revolution of his fight alongside fellow Filipino revolutionaries for independence against Spanish rule. Mendoza’s military pursuits and motivational contributions as a soldier and organizer in the Filipino Revolution help to demonstrate the ultimate transformation of the Philippines and its sense of national identity. Although Spain made its positive socio-economic influences such as promoting Roman Catholic religion, improving economic development, and organizing rule, Mendoza’s journey with the growing organization and bonding culture of the Filipino country and community to fight for independence prove that the journey of the Filipino Revolution still brought this greater transformation of national identity in Philippine history. With issues such as continued control by the US and gaining no initial recognition from the Spanish and the US after the Philippine Declaration of Independence, the immediate aftermath of the Revolution may not have necessarily correspond to their desired goals of establishing independence as a nation. However, the path towards the end of the Revolution in 1898 in essence demonstrates the main focus – the turning point of developing more national sense of pride in being a Filipino. Before this phase of Filipino revolution and nationalism development, which can be primarily dated as 1892 to 1898, the Philippines actually started forming a sense of national identity through Spanish colonization, which went on from...

...factions began to fight. Bonifacio was arrested, tried and executed on May 10, 1897 by Aguinaldo's order. Aguinaldo's forces were driven from Cavite to Bulacan where Aguinaldo declared the constitution and established the Republic of Biak-na-Bato. Both sides soon came to realize that the struggle between Spain and the new Republic had reached an impasse. The rebels could not meet the Spanish regulars in the field but neither could the Spanish put down the guerrillas. Negotiations began in August and concluded in December with the Pact of Biak-na-Bato. The agreement extended a general amnesty to the rebels with a payment of US$800,000 for Aguinaldo and his government to retire in voluntary exile to Hong Kong. Aguinaldo left the Philippines with his government on December 27, 1897. While in Hong Kong, Aguinaldo and his compatriots designed what is today the Philippine national flag. Spanish-American War / War of Philippine Independence 1898 - 1901 Relations between the United States and Spain deteriorated over the conduct of the war for independence in Cuba. On February 15, 1898 the American battleship, USS Maine, exploded and sank in Havana harbour under mysterious circumstances with the loss of 260 men. As war between the United States and Spain became imminent, the commander of the U.S. Asiatic Squadron, Commodore...

...speaking out against them and challenging them. It makes me think of Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games trilogy, Katniss starts off as a little insignificant girl and blossoms into a star and the start of a revolution because she is not afraid to speak out and go against the system to pursue what she believes in. My goal in life is to achieve having a tongue that can't be tamed. Making a difference and seeing how many people you can positively affect in the process. That quote definitely makes you think about standing up for what you believe in. Defining some and not all of the Spanish phrases in this essay is an effective strategy to keep the essays spanish base. Anzaldua was limited by the things she could say and she decided to limit some of the parts that English speaking people could understand as a sort of payback. Why not serve up what she got dished out? I may not even be right about this, but this is what it seems like. She wanted to keep her identity while allowing most of the English speaking people to be able to read and understand this, but she also issued a challenge with this, to make those people research what she wrote and actually study the Spanish language. To me, this strategy seems to be pointed at people who don't know the language and have no clue the struggle that Spanish speaking...

...A Call for Further Research: Afro-Chinese Marriages in 20th Century Cuba Katie Wang UCLA Professor Wright-Dixon I. Introduction Coalitions through marriage is a long understood concept. Kingdom alliances through marriages are ones that first come to mind. Often fictional portrayals of real pressures for pressures to gain resources or military alliance for a capital or imperial need involve young princes and princesses who are forced to marry. However, in a nonfictional example for this paper, Chinese indentured laborers or former indentured laborers and African slaves or former slaves married in 19th century Cuba both romantically and strategically. I argue that there needs to be further research around Afro-Chinese marriages in Cuba and a recentering on women. I had originally planned to center this paper around African slave women who married Chinese men in Cuba in the 19th century but was not able to because of the lack of literature available. However, I aim to focus on a reading against the grain for indications of women’s agency and voice in this set of literature. My personal stakes in this topic are two-fold. First, my mother’s side of my family lived in Cuba for a few decades from the late 1920s to 1960 as a part of an entrepreneurial endeavor and as refuge from persecution from the Communist Party of China. Because of my personal tie to Chinese in Cuba, I seek to uncover untold stories and hidden transcripts. Second, this paper is a part of a larger project...

IPM’s software suite includes GIS, land registry, land records management, property appraisal, and property valuation. IPM targets developing countries with no land system software package or a minimal land system software package. The IMP Board of Directors thinks it is necessary to open offices in the locations where they are targeting the software. The next office location will be in La Paz, Bolivia, South America. Introduction to Bolivia, South America According to InfoPlease, Bolivia, South America was under Spanish rule from the 16th Century until they won their independence on August, 6, 1825. Since then, Bolivia has had more than 190 revolutions and coups. The most recent coup was in 1982.

...The anti-opium laws were first aimed against the Chinese immigrants. The next drug that became popular in the US was cocaine in the 1880s. Coca was usually used in health drinks and remedies. The first anti-cocaine laws was created in the south in 1900s and were directed at African American men. The first anti-marijuana laws were in the Midwest and the Southwest during the 1910s and 20s which were directed towards the Mexican migrants and the Mexican Americans. Mexican immigrants introduce recreational use of marijuana leaf after the Mexican revolution according to PBS. It says "Mexican immigrants flooded into the U.S., introducing to American culture the recreational use of marijuana. The drug became associated with the immigrants, and the fear and prejudice about the Spanish-speaking newcomers became associated with marijuana. Anti-drug campaigners warned against the encroaching "Marijuana Menace," and terrible crimes were attributed to marijuana and the Mexicans who used it"(PBS 1996). In today era, Latino and African American people are still more and likely to be in end in prison due to drug enforcement and harsher crime...

...Throughout the spanish american war and even before it began, until the end of the spanishamerican war the newspaper had the power to heavily influence the choices people made. It started with industrial revolution at the turn of the 19th century as the United States became the number one leading manufacturer and foremost industrial power in the world, jobs became harder to do and competition for their jobs grew. There were two people who controlled the newspapers at the time, Joseph Pulitzer of New York World and William Randolph Hearst, the editor of the New York Journal and they competed in the Newspaper business. Their competition lead to yellow journalism, which is an exaggerated way of reporting news in order to gain readership, profits, and influence. The conflict between spain and cuba for cuban independence and yellow journalism grew during this period allowing the influence of newspapers to once again grow. The USS Maine, in havana harbor on February 15th, 1898 caused the SpanishAmerican War. To protect American citizens, the USS Maine was sent to cuba to keep out the cuban revolution or in order words, national security. When the explosion happened, the immediate question for Americans was whether or not this was done by spain. Joseph Pulitzer, the editor of the New York World published in February 17, 1898, a newspaper under the headlines “USS Maine explosion caused by bomb or torpedo?” The question is asking attack or be attacked. The paper implie...

...Alexus Brinson June 20th, 2015 Black American History Slave Resistance & Their Revolts When speaking about the rebellion of slaves or of their act of resistance, one must know the true definition of such. There were many forms from running away, theft, practicing religion, rebel, and even speaking an African language was a sign of resistance. But were these acts of resistance only to push the boundaries of freedom, in this case slowly eroding the institution? Or did the slave’s act of resistance give them the incentive to work, ultimately supporting the institution. British North America, as soon as the slaves arrived in Chesapeake is where slave resistance began. Most acts of resistance were an attempt to gain a sense of freedom in an...
