Spanish conquistadors attempted to conquer the New World nearly a century before the English colonists established a permanent settlement at Jamestown. This book examines the unsuccessful elements of Spain's attempt at expanding its empire in the Americas, focusing particularly on the misadventures of three conquistadors. Part One tells the story of Cabeza de Vaca who, along with three other survivors of the ill-fated Panfilo de Narvaez expedition to Florida, spent nearly eight years among the various tribes that wandered across Texas, New Mexico, and northern Mexico before finding his way back to civilization. Their tales of lands rich with earthly delights served as inspiration for two epic but failed expeditions that make up the second and third parts of the book: Francisco de Coronado's quest to find the golden cities of Cibola and Hernando de Soto's efforts to find the rich kingdoms of Florida.
Recounts the life of the Spanish explorer whose expedition to South America led to the conquest of the Inca empire and the establishment of Spanish rule in the Andean region.
Colonialism, Ethnicity and War in Angola by Vasco Martins Pdf
Making a fresh contribution to our understanding of the history of Angola, this book explores the impact of social, political and economic change upon the largest ethnic group of the country, the Ovimbundu. Based on extensive fieldwork conducted in Angola, including oral testimonies and life stories, participant-observation, and archival materials, this book shifts the viewpoint from the colonial enterprise, international politics and ideological alignments to focus on African experiences and responses. The author analyses the transformations introduced by Christianity and colonialisation and how they contributed to politicised modern notions of ethnic identity, creating communal imaginaries that began manifesting during Angolan’s anti-colonial war. He then explains how the weaving of this ethno-political landscape assisted UNITA’s mobilisation of significant parts of the Ovimbundu during the civil-war, essentially deepening popular belief in the axiom Ovimbundu-UNITA, and how the latter created a national imaginary that echoed social anxieties and moral discourses. The book then explores the links between ethnicity, politics and war on the quality of post-war citizenship in Angola, particularly on people’s integration in the citizenry or marginalisation from it. Articulating a reading of ethnicity that connects high politics and elite based explanations with how ordinary people feel and discuss ethnicity, politics and citizenship, this book will be of interest to scholars of African history and politics, as well as ethnicity and nationalism.

History of the British Empire by Charles Payne Pdf
Twice since the Norman Conquest has the little country of England been the center of an empire: once when Henry II of England was at the same time master of half France; and now again when the Union Jack or the red ensign flies over cities and continents of which Henry Plantagenet never dreamed. Yet to use the same word to describe both of these empires seems unfortunate. Indeed, the use of the word "empire" is questionable in either case, only to be sanctioned because we seem to have no other word that will quite answer the purpose. For "empire" is a Roman word. Its use seems to imply in some way absolute power, the centralization which was so fundamentally characteristic of Rome. Yet the feudal empire of Henry II, so far from being centralized, was a mere bundle of separate lordships, thrown together by the accidents of conquest, marriage, and divorce. It was dashed to pieces in the reign of John, built again by Edward III, torn apart once more in the latter years of the fourteenth century, put together in a structure of surpassing glory by Henry V, and finally destroyed in the reign of his son. Through it all, for these three hundred years, England's own well-being and growth were something entirely apart from her connection with these other possessions of her king; the bond that united them had no root in national life.
Marcos's friends have had enough. Six years ago, he inadvertently led them to capture. Now, after years of humiliation, things are only getting worse. It's 1528 and Seville, Spain is ripe with riches brought back from the New World. Six years ago Gonzalo returned from his own New World expedition with five young children. Since then his brother Vincente, the corrupt and power-hungry Bishop, has kept them as his so-called 'guests.' The reality of their lives, however, is hardly that of guests as they face daily abuse, mistreatment, and embarrassment all to benefit Vincente. Marcos's friends are fed up. They are increasingly determined to escape. All they want is to return home. There's just one problem: Marcos is convinced it's impossible. At least he was... Late one night a mysterious event shakes him to his core and convinces him that he must not only try, but succeed. His tribe needs him. Now Marcos is determined to lead his four friends as they struggle to make their way back home. New friends and new enemies are made, fights break out in the streets and alleys, and a pair of street thugs make it their personal mission to harass Marcos. All the while they are constantly under threat of being discovered and recaptured. His bonds of friendship as well as his own character and resolve are challenged as Marcos fights to return home and save his tribe.
