History of Central America

He was one of the shooters in the Columbine High School massacre in 1999

because belize was british colony before and because of our ancestors (they never mixed with the mayas)

Yes it is different because if it goes to another ocean then the water level will drop. No, the previous posted answer is incorrect. Ocean water level is the same anywhere. Sea level on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are the same.

5, it was originally supposed to have Lincoln on the side but the rock was unstable. Didn't put the fifth president on

British Honduras changed its name to Belize in 1973. This was the same year in which Belmopan became the capital and the formation of the United Democratic Party took place.

He wanted to get the rights to build a canal in Panama at a lower price.

three main problems workers had while building the panama canal were engineering, sanitation, and organization

stratified layer

European countries scrambled to claim colonies in Africa in the period of 1876-1914 which corresponds to the period during which the panama canal was being built.

You can find them in A Columbine Site. The links are below in the related links section. That site is interesting, it talks all about the massacre, the victims, the guns they used and more.

trade

Before the Panama canal was built it use to take about 14 days longer to cover the same distance effectively that the Panama canal covered, by going the long way around south america. So after it was built goods were able to be moved much quicker than before.

The telegraph made communication much faster. Before it you had to write letters and wait for it to arrive, now communication was speeded up and news traveled much faster, and more reliably. When both of these things were invented, efficiency was greatly increased, buisness demand went up and Capatalism prospered, the world has not been the same before or since...but for better or for worse??

Generally speaking, no. Michael Montagne

why America decided to take over panama

The Americans took over the Philippine's, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Guam, after the Spanish American war, which had no bases, these were Spanish Colonies, the last ones they had over almost 400 years, but the Monroe Doctrine, wanted America for the Americans, the ones who lived in the USA of course so they took these lands and made these countries part of the USA empire, as Panama was part of Colombia but since the Colombian Government did not allow the building of the Panama Canal, they invented a country that we now know as Panama, and of course that way the canal was built, as far as Hawaii is concerned they had trade with the Hawaiian king but when he wanted to raise the price of the Hawaiian goods the Americans took over.

That is the way of the brave and the free, yeah right.

Shillelagh, if you're Irish.

Around the southern tip of south america! Adding thousands of miles and days or even weeks to the journey.

Basically, it was Spanish greed. The Spanish King Charles V got to hear rumours of the mythical land of 'El Dorado', a legendary Aztec city that was said to be filled with vast amounts of gold and other treasure. The Spanish Government was also aware that apart from this, there was genuine evidence that Central and South America really were highly rich in precious minerals and gemstones. The Aztecs tried to explain to the Conquistadors that El Dorado was only a folk tale, and that it was not real, but the Spanish disbelieved them and thought that they were lying, to cover up the place for themselves. In the end, the Spaniards decided that conquest of what is now Latin America in order to gain control of it's material riches was worth more than retaining friendly relations with the Aztec civilisation, so began a complex system of conquering the Inca civilisation using the technique of 'divide and rule'. The Aztec and Inca world was not by any means united- there was civil war and conflict between the kingdoms and peoples of the region quite apart from any intervention from Europe. The Spanish used this to their own advantage, making alliances of convenience with certain kingdoms and fiefdoms to increase their military might in the overthrowing of other parts of the region, and also deliberately setting tribes and Aztec noble houses against each other, so that they would go to war and thus deplete their military strength, making them unable to resist the Spanish conquerors. In some cases the Spanish deliberately courted the alliegance of some Aztec kingdoms in order to make them 'puppet states' of the Conquistadors, only being allowed autonomy and to continue ruling themselves if they retained regional stability on Spain's behalf and offered military support to the Spanish whenever this was demanded.

Guatemala did not fight for its independence, it got it from the fight Mexico gave to the Spanish crown.

Many people find their human sacrifice repulsive and barbaric. Also, they conquered many places, and ruled others through fear and oppression, which ended up being part of their downfall. However, many ancient civilizations had their own atrocities.
