  • Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines
    Title: Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines Teacher: Anne Sharkey, Huntley High School Summary: This lesson took part as a comparison of the different aspects of the Spanish maritime empires with a comparison of Spanish colonization of Mexico & Cuba to that of the Philippines. The lessons in this unit begin with a basic understanding of each land based empire of the time period 1450-1750 (Russia, Ottomans, China) and then with a movement to the maritime transoceanic empires (Spain, Portugal, France, Britain). This lesson will come after the students already have been introduced to the Spanish colonial empire and the Spanish trade systems through the Atlantic and Pacific. Through this lesson the students will gain an understanding of Spanish systems of colonial rule and control of the peoples and the territories. The evaluation of causes of actions of the Spanish, reactions to native populations, and consequences of Spanish involvement will be discussed with the direct correlation between the social systems and structures created, the influence of the Christian missionaries, the rebellions and conflicts with native populations between the two locations in the Latin American Spanish colonies and the Philippines. Level: High School Content Area: AP World History, World History, Global Studies Duration: Lesson Objectives: Students will be able to: Compare the economic, political, social, and cultural structures of the Spanish involvement in Latin America with the Spanish involvement with the Philippines Compare the effects of mercantilism on Latin America and the Philippines Evaluate the role of the encomienda and hacienda system on both regions Evaluate the influence of the silver trade on the economies of both regions Analyze the creation of a colonial society through the development of social classes—Peninsulares, creoles, mestizos, mulattos, etc.

  • Independence and Turmoil
    PART INDEPENDENCE I AND TURMOIL Clayton-New History Of Modern Latin America.indd 1 07/04/17 10:00 PM 2 Independence and Turmoil Latin America passed through one of its most important historical eras in the first half of the nineteenth century. In a tumultuous twenty-year span, from about 1806 to 1826, almost all of the Spanish and Portuguese colonies broke off from their colonizers and became independent nations. The path that each nation followed to independence was often complicated and marked by fits and starts, periods of intense political confusion, sharp military conflicts, inter- ludes of peace, more battles, and by ethnic and political divisions within the revolutionary movements that defy easy or clear analysis. In the largest context, the Wars of Independence marked a continuation of the same forces that drove the American, French, and Haitian revolutions of the late eighteenth century, all lumped together into something known as the Age of Democratic Revolutions. In the simplest terms, the old forms of govern- ment and rule, largely monarchies across the Western World, were overthrown for republican forms of government. But, as in America, France, and Haiti, the seemingly simple becomes more complex as one probes beneath the surface of these wars in Latin America. For example, while most of the new nations overthrew the king and replaced political authority with a republic, Brazil did not. It replaced a monarch with another monarch and glided into the nineteenth century without the cataclys- mic battles and campaigns that characterized the wars in the Spanish colonies. Other forces at work in the Spanish colonies, especially economic and com- mercial ones, argued for separating from the crown and getting rid of the monopolies and restrictions long set in place by the monarchy to regulate the colonies.

  • Great Work Everyone! I Am Very Proud of Our Final Products! 
    GREAT WORK EVERYONE! I AM VERY PROUD OF OUR FINAL PRODUCTS! Why did the Creoles lead the fight for Latin American Independence? Partial Essay- 1st Hour Global HIPPOS Between 1500-1800 CE, the Spanish established colonies across the world including Latin America. With the age of the Enlightenment, inspired by the ideas of Locke (life, liberty, property) and Voltaire (Freedom of speech, religion), people of the lower classes were encouraged to revolt. With the success of the American and Haitian Revolutions, and the courage of the fighting French in the French Revolution, Latin American Creoles were inspired to gain control in the country of their birth. During the early 1800’s, the Creoles (also known as the second class citizens) fought for Latin American Independence from the Spanish. The Creoles wanted to establish control over the Spanish dominated economy, to gain political authority over the peninsulares, and settle social unrest in the region. During this time Spain dominated Latin America’s economy. “We in America are perhaps the first to be forced by our own government to sell our products at artificially low prices and buy what we need at artificially high prices,” (Doc. C). Due to Spain’s mercantilist ideals, the country controlled all aspects of Latin America’s economy in order to benefit the mother country. Spain regulated the colonies goods that were imported and exported, causing the daily detriment of the colonists. In “An Open Letter to America,” Juan Pablo Viscardo, a Creole, encouraged Latin American colonies to acknowledge their economic oppression and revolt against the Spanish.
