President Nixon's visit to China

The Grant never really meant much because An ambassador for Castile, Leon, and Aragon and a Portuguese ambassador met in the Spanish village of Tordesillas on June 4, 1494 and agreed on areas of influence.
The treaty was ratified by the kingdoms of Castile, Leon, and Aragon, in the persons of King Ferdinand, and Queen Isabel on July 2, 1494 and the Kingdom of Portugal on September 5, 1494.

Why is spanish the easiest language to learn?
Mainly Because You Say Everything How It's Spelt, And Spell Everything As It's Said. I'm Doing It At School, 3 Years Of Spanish So Far. I Find It Quite Easy. I Was Doing German At The Same Time.. German Is Confusing. If You Want To Find Spanish Really Easy You Have To Learn All The Verb Endings And Stuff. Takes A Bit Of Work But Once You've Got It You're Good. I Still Suck Though. (:
I wouldn't say Spanish is the easiest one: it has a difficult grammar (genders, complex verb conjugations, complex tenses e.g. subjunctive), and the relationship written-pronounced is not so clear. E.g. Guitarra, Queso ("u" is not pronounced), gallo ("ll" is not a long l, but a different sound), "c" + "h" makes a different sound, soy ("y" sounds like Spanish "i", but in Yo, it sounds like English "j"), cocina (first "c" = "k", second "c" = "s") and a lot more exceptions to the "perfect correspondence between spelling and pronunciation"), not to mention the very hard accentuation rules (the use of accented vowels), crowded, crowded of exceptions and complexities: aún vs. aun, sólo vs. solo, "solamente" should be "sólamente" according to the basic accentuation rule for the "esdrújulas" words...
Spanish still burdens the "h", which is soundless but it is kept because we are unable to discard it.
Oh, did I mention the same sound may be written in many ways? In many Spanish speaking countries, the following is true: v = b; c = s = z (although sometimes c = k = "qu"); ll = y; i = y. Just take a look to chats or fora in Spanish and you'll realize very, very few master Spanish writing...
OK. Spanish is quite easy.... in comparison to ... Finnish! Period.
Are they opening a primark in algeciras Spain?
Hi - Yes, in a new shopping centre, as yet unfinished but the sign for "Primark" was added to the complex recently. The commerical centre is called "Puerta Europa" and is outside the city centre on the main road between Tarifa and Algeciras. Exit 106 on the N340. Opens 10th September. I went to the Oxford Street opening some years ago in London and the crowds were so great they called the police to control it. Have a look on You Tube for "Primark". I´m a Primark fan - clothes are decent quality, bang up to date and they give 'em away on opening day !

Why did Mexico declare their independence from Spain?
At the end of the 17th century, Spain became a declining empire with diminishing revenues and loss of both political and military influence -- especially against other rising powers such as France and Britain. The Bourbon Reforms (1747-1808) changed the colonial system in the Americas to that of an intendancy. These reforms were directed to increase tax revenues, but became very unpopular among the colonies as most intendants were peninsulares, or people born in Spain.
This power shift increased unrest among criollos, or people of Spanish ancestry who were born in the Americas, who ultimately attained the support of both Amerindians and mestizos (descendants of interracial marriages between Europeans and Native Americans) to wage war against Spanish rule. In Mexico and Central America, Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo (1753-1811) is considered the starter of such movement, while the South American war of independence was won by liberators Jose de San Martin (1778-1850) and Simon Bolivar (1783-1830).
When Napoleon's Army invaded both Spain and Portugal during the Peninsular Wars (1807-1814), most criollos saw the opportunity to secede from the Spanish Empire. By 1825 most of Latin America became independent, with only some last bastions in Mexico, Peru, Chile and Argentina still being loyal to the Spanish Crown. By 1833 even these were defeated, and all attempts of reconquest by Spain had been already thwarted. Finally, in 1836 the Spanish government renounced to the sovereignty over continental America, with the exception of Cuba an Puerto Rico, which were lost during the Spanish-American War (1898).
