One reason being, in document c, that it states that the natives inculpated the settlers, or more specifically priests, for transporting disease from Spain to the native’s motherland. Corresponding to the natives, the settlers also have their motives for resenting the natives. For instance, the Apache and Comanches tribes had slaughtered several innocent settlers and soldiers, as well as raiding a couple of missions around San Antonio and La Bahia (doc b).

The 18th century was the golden age of piracy. Piracy was a common crime, and prevented many ships from reaching their destination with the cargo they set sail with. Many of these pirates reached such a level of infamy that their names have evolved into legends. Among these names are pirates like Captain Kidd, Black Bart, and possibly the most infamous of all, Blackbeard. Blackbeard, also known as Edward Teach, was a character that would strike fear into the hearts of his victims.

Golden Ages are periods in a civilization where culture, art, literature, economic stability, and often scientific discovery and advancement thrive. The Golden Ages of Athens, Han China, and India were marked by cultural and economic dominance of those respective cultures. All three Civilizations were able to influence regions far away from their borders through trade, and aspects of their cultures inspired the culture of neighboring peoples. The standard of living amongst all three civilizations was also notably high. However, the development of technology played a more crucial role for the Golden Ages of Han China and India, while in Athens dominance was mostly achieved through political control and Athens becoming the most important voice

Lane, Kris E. Pillaging the Empire: Piracy in the Americas 1500-1750 (M.E. Sharpe Inc., 1998). Kris E.

In the year 1558, King Phillip II of Spain attempted to conquer England over differing religious beliefs, England’s control of the English Channel, and the capturing of Spanish cargo ships returning with silver from the New World. Spain needed control of the English Channel so they could better access their land in the Netherlands. With these reasons in mind, Phillip II sent the Spanish Armada.

The English ships’ advanced weaponry and secret weapon are the main reasons why the Spanish Armada’s assault failed horribly.

The movie proposes that the cause for piracy was that Somalia was undergoing a lot of destruction and piracy was a way to escape from the destruction. One of the people interviewed in the documentary said that piracy also fed a lot of people. There was also a discussion about the cost of prosecuting cases against the pirates and how it would be more expensive than just paying the ransom. I think that the pirates must know this is the case and that it is part of the reason why they keep taking hostages because they know the shipping companies will tend to pay the ransom more often than prosecuting cases. Although the negotiation process could be long it was still more

Architecture has the ability to remark and reflect any region, give a feeling and a sense of a place, and present thoughts and creativity.
