Why are people called hispanic?
Hispanics refer to people who were once conquered/colonized by Spain, such as South America, and to a lesser extent, some African nations. They are not a homogeneous group but most speak Spanish and have absorbed some form of Spanish culture. They may or may not have Spanish ancestry but many if not most are mixed with natives, and some blacks. So Hispanics are often times seen as not being of the white race, although some are. It is rare these days to find a Hispanic of pure Spanish ancestry. Spanish people are not the same as Hispanics. Hispanics are usually mixed with non-caucasians over time, while Spanish are seen as European caucasian whites. Although it can be argued the Spanish themselves have some non-causacoid admixtures in them, such as the Moors who invaded, that gave them their darker coloring.
A:Not all South American nations are Hispanic. Brazilians speak Portuguese, thus making them Lusophone.

How did cinnamon get to Europe?
Hey, great question! To find the answer, I consulted the article on "Cinnamon" in The Encyclopedia of Western Colonialism since 1450, which you can access through the Gale World History in Context online database. This database is not open to the general public, but it is accessible through many public library websites. If your library doesn't have access to it, they are likely to have a similar resource that is just as effective.
True cinnamon, or Cinnamomum zeylanicum, is native only to Sri Lanka. During the the 16th Century, the Portuguese sailed to Sri Lanka, discovered cinnamon and began importing this valuable commodity to Europe by boat. While the Portuguese were the first to bring the spice to Europe, they were not successful in establishing a monopoly. The Dutch East India Company established a monopoly on Cinnamon in Europe in 1658. Subsequently, in the 19th Century, the English East India Company established a monopoly on this spice.
If you're looking for more information related to cinnamon and spice trade, the encyclopedia also had excellent articles on Dutch colonialism and the spice industry. Additionally, each article has a bibliography of other sources that may help you research further.

Where are the caucus mountains?
The origin of the word "caucasian" is related to the Caucus mountains and the tribes that lived there. The tribes of light-skinned people of the Caucus mountains migrated to central Europe.

Caucasians belonged to the light-skinned peoples of Europe, and western and southern Asia. They were cosiderted a distinct ethnic group until they migrated and inter-married with the tribal peoples of Germany Turkey, and Spain. The English and Irish are genetically related to the caucasion people of Iberia or what might be considered modern day Spain.
Because of successive waves of invasion by Vikings, Angles and Saxons and later even the Romans, the Caucasians became the hybrids or "mutts" of the British Isles and Ireland depending on your point of view.

Why did medieval Europe's richest cities emerge in northern Italy and Flanders?
Because in Italy and Flanders we find the combination of two factors. The first one was the presence of ports placed in strategic positions for trade and commerce, and the second was the absence of a strong unifying power that left to these cities a relative autonomy and freedom. In the case of Italy Venice and Genoa were independent republics (see maritime republics), while Flanders were composed by many provinces. In that situation merchants had that kind of negative freedom that is fundamental for the development of free market. Differently people under strong kingdoms suffered centralization of power and needed more time to develop good conditions for relatively free trade. Those free cities developed a new market system in which they appeared new activities such as banking. Thanks to this activity, the city of Florence, during the end of 15th century was richer than the whole Kingdom of England.
What was the time period when Europe colonized Asia and Africa called?
the first European colonization wave took place from the early 15th century (Portuguese conquest of Ceuta in 1415) until the early 19th century (French invasion of Algeria in 1830), and primarily involved the European colonization of the Americas, though it also included the creation of European colonies in India and other Asian countries (Spanish conquest of Philippines). The colonization of Africa largely did not take place during this era. During this period, European interests in Africa were primarily focused on the establishment of trading posts there, particularly for the Atlantic slave trade.
The second major phase of European colonization, which was primarily focused on Africa and Asia, is known as the period of the New Imperialism.

It should not be a REAL problem (just the same as if you had to remember some multiplication-factors, as you would have to do aswell for currencies). In fact all (even the united kingdom) now use the SI (système international).
Distances are in kilometres (look at the factors to calculate with miles). Weight in kilogramms, speed in kilometres per hour, etc. The SI system just procures the main-units (7) from which all others can be derived. And of course there are subunits for SI-master-units. By the way... i thought most of all the nations on earth used the SI.
