	Spanish Map of North America - 1562
		America, as it came to be called, became the destination for numerous expeditions and adventures from 1492 onward.
		In sixteenth-century Europe, authoritative knowledge of the geography of America was based upon the observations of primarily Spanish- and Portuguese-sponsored explorers and navigators, as interpreted and plotted by official cosmographers and cartographers of the crowns of Spain's new overseas empire.
		An apparent oral agreement between French and Spanish negotiators at Cateau Cambrésis concluded that the geographical parameters of the treaty were not to extend to non-European areas, for example, in America, where the French claimed the right to trade, which Spain denied.

	Spanish language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		There are a number of Spanish dialects; however, the Castilian dialect was already the accepted standard of the language by the middle of the 13th cent., largely owing to the political importance of Castile.
		On the whole, however, the differences between the Spanish dialects of Europe and of Latin America with reference to pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar are relatively minor.
		A another peculiarity of Spanish is the use of an inverted question mark (¿) at the beginning of a question and of an inverted exclamation point (¡) at the beginning of an exclamation.

	Journalism in Spanish America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		It could be argued that Spanish American journalism began in 1492 if we consider that the main goal of genres such as the diario de navegación ("logbook"), relación ("account"), or carta de relación ("account letter") was to keep the European imperial authorities informed about the actions of their representatives in the New World.
		Even more important to the development of journalism in Spanish America were the wide variety of gacetas and diarios published at the end of the seventeenth century and through out the eighteenth century such as the Gaceta de México (1667) and Gaceta del Gobierno de Lima (1810).
		In addition to the political uses of the press throughout Spanish America in the nineteenth century, literati and journalists began to steadily collaborate in many newspapers of the region.

	WHKMLA : Early Colonial Society, Spanish America
		Early Colonial Spanish America may be subdivided in 4 spheres : the urban sphere, the sphere of private agriculture (hazienda sphere), the missions or reductions, and the sphere not controlled by the Spanish.
		Spanish language became dominant, guilds were organized, the cities, like their counterparts in Spain, acquired coats of arms, privileges etc. Within the cities, political power lay within the hands of a few families, who prided themselves in their Spanish ancestry.
		Both the urban and the hazienda spheres were controlled by the administration of church and state, which represented the interests of Spain and of the criollos (creoles), the land-owning elite of Spanish Latin America which took pride in tracing their heritage back to Spain.

	Spanish Colonization in the North
		The Spanish claim to territories that are today the United States rested upon the 16th century exploits of Ponce de Leon, Hernando De Soto and Francisco Vázquez de Coronado.
		As the 17th century drew to a close, Spanish colonial administrators finally realized that, given their minority status in so many parts of New Spain, policy reform was necessary.
		From a material standpoint, the Spanish ventures in the northern portions of their realm were far less successful than those to the south.

		Spanish has, after all, become the language of unskilled, but eager hands, from chicken- plucking southern towns to Alaskan fishing villages, from Hartford to Boise.
		The genius of America is the way so many foreign phrases and words found their way onto the American tongue, even while the nation assimilated the immigrant.
		But vast and the mundane recurrence of Spanish today-- on public signs, on billboards, on the airwaves-- is blurring the linguistic border between the United States and Latin America.

		Spanish Americans were not unique in confronting such issues: similar debates raged on and off in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and other parts of Europe.
		In Spanish America, however, the stakes in the debate were even higher: these were nations that had only recently begun to emerge from the anarchy of the post-Independence era and where armed uprisings, coups, or revolutions might still break out at any moment.
		Spanish American mimicry of European elite culture provides part of the explanation, just as it explains (for example) the revolutionary transformation of the region's urban architecture.

		The Spanish landed upon the shores of Meso-America in February of the year 1519, in the area of Vera Cruz.

		With the extreme and quick loss of culture, accompanied by the pressure of Christian missionaries and laws preventing the practice of any form of native religion (if they did there were strong repercussions even death), the Indians were, by all means, slaves to the Spaniard immigrants.

		This book ably explores topics and issues either neglected or marginalized by those historians more interested in reaffirming the colonial/modern divide in Spanish America during the revolutionary age than in looking closely at continuities and explaining their perseverance.
		As a student of the revolutionary age in the Americas, what I regretted most in this collection was the reluctance of most of the contributors to make comparisons between different places in Spanish America.
		In a volume on state and society in Spanish America in the age of revolution, the omission of essays on Venezuela and Peru--the former because of the devastating violence of the wars of independence, and the latter for its complex social character--warrants an explanation.
