History of South America

Is Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic. Funded by Christopher Columbus in 1492, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas, and was the first seat of Spanish colonial rule in the New World. Santo Domingo came to be known as the "Gateway to the Caribbean". In 1930, the city of Santo Domingo (excluding the Colonial Zone) was extensively damaged by tropical hurricane San Zenón. President Rafael Trujillo reconstructed the city and named it Ciudad Trujillo after himself. After his assassination in 1961, Ciudad Trujillo once again became Santo Domingo de Guzmán. Santo Domingo is within the boundaries of the Distrito Nacional (D.N.; "National District") and Santo Domingo Province surrounds it.Santo Domingo was destroyed by a hurricane in 1502, and the new Governor Nicolás de Ovando had it rebuilt on a different site nearby.[1] The original layout of the city and a large portion of its defensive wall can still be appreciated today throughout the Colonial Zone, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990. The Colonial Zone, bordered by the Río Ozama, also has an impressive collection of 16th century buildings, including palatial houses and majestic churches that reflect the architectural style of the late medieval period.The city's most important colonial buildings include the Catedral Santa María La Menor, called La Catedral Primada de América, America's First Cathedral, which states its distinction; the Alcázar de Colón, America's first castle, once the residence of Viceroy of the Indies Don Diego Colón, a son of Christopher Columbus; the Monasterio de San Francisco, the ruins of the first monastery in America; the Museo de las Casas Reales, the former Palace of the Governor General and the Palace of Royal Audiences; the Parque Colón, a historic square; the Fortaleza Ozama, the oldest fortress in America; the Pantéon Nacional, a former Jesuit edifice now hosting the remains of various renowned members of the Dominican Order; and the Iglesia del Convento Dominico, the first convent in America.

Guinea did NOT fight anybody to gain its Independence. They were given a chance to remain a French colony or to be independent. They chose to be independent even if it meant hard time for them in diplomatics and other economic/political issues. After that they became communists for the Soviet Union's support and after the first president's death they became a republic. So on and so forth.

people saw racism go from bad to worse during the depression blacks and people fro other ethnic groups within society suffer to the extremes because whatever little help there was out there it was definitely not given to them they were the first to get fired from jobs and were often in the lower social classes so were the last to get help. they were also still treated bad by the whites in society so things did not get better for them.

Slavery enabled the large plantation owners to grow extremely wealthy, therefore creating the sort-of aristocratic upper-class of the south. Those with less slaves therefore made less money, and had less status. Those who lacked slaves completely, such as the yeoman farmers, made up the lowest classes of free whites, because of whites they were the most power. Finally below them were freed blacks, who, because of the racism instilled by the institution of slavery, were cast out of society even if they were rather successful on their farms.

Hope this helps.

There are various ethnic groups in the United Kingdom. These groups include white, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Gypsy, Chinese, other Asian, Mixed, or Black.

A lack of education and people's ignorance. It sounds ridiculous to say that the situation is getting better, when it should not be an issue in the first place. I do believe , however, that people are getting on with their lives and ignoring it and I think that is the way to deal with it. Why should anyone care what a few ignorant people think. Pity them.
