What did the US gain by capturing the mariana islands?
A sugar plantation. The USA gained control over an island that is the gate way to central and south America. The first thing they did was take all the government gold and put it in Fort Dix. They exchanged the Spanish money at 40 cents for every Puerto Rican dollar. They changed the laws to favor coorperations so that in a few years most of the land was owned by coorperations instead of the people. It gained the ability to build many military bases from which to practice and train it's forces. Later on it allowed other countries to bomb and practice their military maneuvers for a price. During World War 1,2, Korea and Vietnam the USA was able to draft thousands of soldiers from Puerto Rico. It gained a cheap labor force to cut sugar cane in Hawaii and work in the farms of New Jersey. It created a law that does not allow Puerto Rico to import products from any other country without using the US merchant marines which are the most expensive in the world. Puerto Rico is the number two most important customer of US goods and products in the world.
Who is Ponce De Leon?
Juan Ponce De León (1474-1521) was a Spanish soldier and conquistador who explored the New World, mainly the islands of the Caribbean Sea. While a provincial governor in Hispaniola, he married and had four children. He discovered and named Florida, and was fatally wounded there on a later voyage. A former member of Columbus' first trip to America in 1492, in 1504 he crushed a rebellion on the island of Hispaniola and was appointed colonial governor of a province. His expedition to Puerto Rico in 1508 established the first European settlement there. After a conflict with the son of his former captain, Columbus, he launched an expedition that reached the North American mainland on Easter Sunday, 1513. Initially assuming it was a large island, De Leon named the new land "Florida" and sailed through the Keys into the Gulf of Mexico. After returning to Spain, he captained a fleet to put down a native attack on Puerto Rico in 1515. In 1521, De Leon launched a colonizing expedition to Florida. Unfortunately, his group was attacked there by native Indians. DeLeon was hit with a poisoned arrow, and died days later in Cuba. == ==
