ISBN: 9781502357489 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Panama's early history was shaped by the ambitions of European powers. In 1501, Rodrigo de Bastidas of Spain conducted the first European exploration of Panama. One year later, Christopher Columbus visited Panama and established a settlement in the Darien province. In 1513, Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovered that the isthmus was indeed the path between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Panama quickly became the crossroads of Spain's empire in the New World, serving as the transfer point for gold and silver being shipped from South America and Spain."

Mexico in Depth: A Peace Corps Publication
ISBN: 9781502356543 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The first ancestral civilization in Mexico was that of the Olmecs (1200-600 B.C.), in the south of the modern day country. By 300 B.C., they were joined by the Zapotecs of Oaxaca, and by A.D. 250, the Maya were building temple pyramids in the Yucatan Peninsula. Central Mexico's great civilization flourished at Teotihuacan between A.D. 250 and A.D. 600, to be followed by the Toltecs at Xochicalco and Tula. The Aztecs were successors to this string of empires, settling at Tenochtitlan in the early 14th century. Almost 3,000 years of civilization was shattered in just two short years, following...

The history of Benin can be described as a succession of 12 kingdoms dating back from the early 1600s to approximately 1900.

ISBN: 9781502359117 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When the Spanish landed in 1531, Peru's territory was the nucleus of the highly developed Inca civilization. Centered in Cuzco, the Inca empire extended over a vast region from northern Ecuador to central Chile. In search of Inca wealth, Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro, who arrived in the territory after the Incas had fought a debilitating civil war, conquered the weakened people. The Spanish captured the Inca capital at Cuzco in 1533 and consolidated their control by 1542. Gold and silver from the Andes enriched the conquerors, and Peru became the principal source of Spanish wealth and...

Costa Rica in Depth: A Peace Corps Publication
ISBN: 9781502348098 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While there is debate about the number of indigenous people in Costa Rica prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1502, few survived contact with Europeans. Today, the country's indigenous population makes up less than 2 percent of the total population. For nearly three centuries, Spain administered what is now Costa Rica as part of the Captaincy General of Guatemala, under a military government. The Spanish optimistically called the country Rich Coast. Finding little gold or other valuable minerals in Costa Rica, however, the Spanish turned to agriculture. The small landowners'...

Nicaragua in Depth: A Peace Corps Publication
ISBN: 9781502357199 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 44 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nicaragua probably derives its name from an Indian chief, Nicarao, who ruled part of the area at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Christopher Columbus, in 1492, was the first European to touch Nicaraguan soil. Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba followed in 1524 and founded the principal colonial cities of Granada and Leon. Granada evolved into a stronghold of the aristocracy, and Leon became the political and intellectual capital. The rivalry between these cities persists to this day. For three centuries, Nicaragua was a province of the Captaincy General of Guatemala, as the Spanish called their...
