Explain the effects of the empresario system on the development of Texas.
Answer honestly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
Despite awarding numerous contracts, the empresario system failed to dramatically increase the population of Texas. The costs of obtaining a grant and surveying the land were high, and the wait for the land to become profitable was long.
he Empresario System, Section 1. My name's Ms. Patterson. As we go through today's lecture, you'll notice certain words that appear in blue. These are your vocabulary terms. So make sure you pay close attention to their meaning, as you'll see them again.
Let's start by looking at our objectives. In this lesson, we're going to identify the role of colonization laws in opening Texas for Anglo settlement. We'll identify the contributions of Green DeWitt and Martin de Leon on the development of Texas, as well as analyze the effects of the empresario system on the development of Texas. In this section, we're going to focus in
on our first objective. So it's important to know that Mexico became its own independent republic in 1821. And soon after, in 1824, they're going to write their own constitution. Now, a "constitution" is a written document that spells out the structure, the responsibilities, and the limitations of a government.
Well at the time, the Mexican constitution was very similar to the United States Constitution in the sense that they both elected their president and had Congress. Mexico was also a republic, which means that the supreme power lied in the hands of the people because they were allowed to vote. Mexico is going to break into 19 states and four territories.
And the province of Texas, as well the province of Coahuila, are going to join together to make one of the 19 states. The name of the state is going to be known as Coahuila y Texas. And the capital is Saltillo. Texas was also allowed to elect one member of the state legislature. So the person they choose to be their very first
representative is Baron de Bastrop, who was originally a very prominent member of the San Antonio society while Texas was a part of Spain. Also at this time, Mexico is going to pass the Colonization Law of 1824. Now, this law is going to say that each Mexican state is going to be allowed to come up with their own immigration policies.
However, there were going to be some restrictions when it came to US immigration. For example, the amount of land that could be given in one grant was limited to 48,708 acres. Also grantees had to live in Texas. So a "grantee" is a person who is awarded a land grant. And they had to live in Texas, show that they had good moral character, and become Catholic.
And there were restrictions in where these people could live. They were not allowed to live within 10 leagues of the coast or 20 leagues of international boundaries. Now a "league" is just a unit of measure for land. Many countries kind of have different ideas of what a league is. But in this case, we're going to refer to it as three miles. So this means that nobody was allowed to live within 30
miles of the coast or 60 miles of international boundaries, unless they had special permission. So states could make up their own colonization laws. And that's exactly what Coahuila y Texas is going to do. So in 1825, they write their own colonization law. And what they say is that if you come to live in Texas with your family, you can get one league of land.
Now, this is the equivalent of 4,423 acres. If you were single and a male, you could come and get land. But you were only awarded 1/4 of a league until you got married. Once you were married, you would get the other 3/4 of that league and you would have a league. Unless a single man married a Mexican woman, in that case he was awarded a bonus of 1/4 of a league.
So altogether, that would be 1 and 1/4 league that he was given. So the reason they did this is because they really wanted to increase the population. So Tejanos wanted to encourage foreign immigration to increase the worth of the land and to provide more opportunities for trade. They believed that this would make Texas more wealthy and
would give it more value. Also more settlers meant that they could provide protection against Native American attacks and raids. Let's do a quick section review. In this section, we learned that Mexico became its own republic in 1821 and that they wrote their own constitution in 1824. At the same time, they also wrote the new
colonization law in 1824. And this law is going award states the ability to write their own colonization laws within reason. They had to follow certain restrictions. I hope you learned something new. Have a fantastic day.

The attempt by the Japanese to take Midway Island and seize control of it resulted in one of the most decisive naval battles in military history, with the Japanese losing four aircraft carriers and the United States gaining the upper hand in the Pacific. But a diversionary effort by the Japanese during the campaign marked the only ground fighting on U.S. home soil during World War II.
The Japanese attack on the Aleutian islands off Alaska in June of 1942, a mere six months after Pearl Harbor and shortly after a series of disastrous U.S. defeats in Asia, was meant as a feint to draw away American forces while the Japanese invaded Midway island. It would also threaten any U.S. attempts to attack Japan using the chain as a base. The archipelago of over 150 islands reached to within just 750 miles of Japanese territory and was seen as a real threat to their homeland. The occupation of U.S. soil, even that as remote as the Aleutian islands, also served as a blow to American morale.
U.S. intelligence was alerted of the impending invasion, but despite sightings of the approaching Japanese fleet, terrible weather made tracking it impossible. The Japanese carriers with the fleet bombed U.S. positions at their Dutch Harbor island base, inflicting heavy damage. American attempts to counterattack and destroy the fleet were consistently foiled by bad weather. The islands of Attu and Kiska in the chain were both occupied by June 7, 1942, though again severe storms and fog led to canceling the seizure of other islands.
The conquest of U.S. soil, even that as remote as the Aleutian islands, came as a severe shock to the American public. There was widespread speculation that the islands would be used as a jumping off point for attacking Alaska, or more fantastically the American mainland. Much of this apprehension was relieved by the destruction of the main Japanese carrier fleet at the Battle of Midway, defeating much of the purpose of the invasion. The Japanese forces found themselves practically marooned in some of the most hostile conditions imaginable.

With no logistical ability yet available to retake the islands, the U.S. could only harass the Japanese garrisons and the convoys resupplying them. U.S. air raids and submarine attacks took a heavy toll on Japanese shipping, but it was not until March of 1943 and after the naval surface action at the Battle of the Komandorski Islands that much headway was made. After the battle, the Japanese were reduced to using submarines to resupply their troops on the islands.
When the joint U.S.-Canadian operation to retake Attu began in May 1943, the Japanese soldiers retreated to high ground rather than contest the landing. The following bloody battle, with both sides plagued by chronic supply shortages, frostbite, and disease, dragged on for over two weeks. The Japanese garrison, starving and running out of ammunition, launched a massive banzai charge that penetrated all the way to U.S. rear echelon before being stopped. Over 2,000 Japanese dead were counted afterward, along with a minuscule 28 survivors. More than a thousand Americans died in the battle.
The assault on Kiska on August 15, 1943, was much more anti-climatic. A huge American-Canadian force landed there after weeks of bombing, but after much searching found the island deserted. The Japanese had used the cover of fog to bring in ships to evacuate two weeks earlier. The bombing and infantry attack had all been against a barren rock, and the only allied casualties were from friendly fire in the fog, frostbite, and disease. The Japanese withdrawal marked the end of the first and last foreign occupation of U.S. soil since the War of 1812.
The reality was that the remote, sparsely populated volcanic islands with notoriously bad weather and terrain would never serve as a major invasion route for either side. Though the Japanese garrisons managed to maintain themselves in the harsh conditions, they had nowhere near the numbers or the support to launch an invasion onto the mainland, and their primary goals were crushed by the disaster at Midway. U.S. plans to use the island chain as a launchpad for invading Japan never materialized beyond some bombing raids on Japan's northern Kuril islands.
In the end, the atrocious weather and remote location turned what seemed such a promising strategic theater useless for everyone

Answer:
Explanation:
Mesopotamia, centered in modern-day Iraq, is regarded as the birthplace of civilization. While the region was widely occupied by humans as early as 12,000 B.C.E., historians believe that large civilizations began in Mesopotamia between 4,000 and 3,000 B.C.E. Mesopotamia's development in this period was supported by a series of geographical factors, including rivers and fertile lands.
The Fertile Crescent
Mesopotamia's soil was uniquely fertile, which gave humans reason to settle in the region and begin farming. As early as 5,800 B.C.E., people were living in the area known as the "Fertile Crescent" to take advantage of the rich soil. The soil's richness came from runoff from nearby mountains, which regularly deposited nutritious silt onto the river floodplain. This region stretched from modern-day Kuwait and Iraq northward to Turkey. Before the settlement of Mesopotamia, neolithic humans were largely hunters and gatherers who did sporadic farming. Mesopotamia's unique fertility allowed humans to settle in one place to farm.
Trade Routes
Mesopotamia's rivers and location in central Asia supported extensive trade routes. In the time of Mesopotamia, smaller civilizations existed to the west in Europe and North Africa and to the east in India. For these regions to trade, they needed to traverse Mesopotamia's territory between them. This allowed Mesopotamia to access resources not native to its region, like timber and precious metals. In turn, Mesopotamia developed key aspects of civilization, like a token system to keep trading records.
Tigris and Euphrates
While Mesopotamia's soil was fertile, the region's semiarid climate didn't have much rainfall, with less than ten inches annually. This initially made farming difficult. Two major rivers in the region -- the Tigris and Euphrates -- provided a source of water that enabled wide-scale farming. Irrigation provided Mesopotamian civilization with the ability to stretch the river's waters into farm lands. This led to engineering advances like the construction of canals, dams, reservoirs, drains and aqueducts. One of the prime duties of the king was to maintain these essential waterways.
Flat With Few Mountains
The Mesopotamian region is relatively flat with few mountains and few forests. This made the people who lived there vulnerable to foreign invasion and conquest, because there were few natural places to hide. Vulnerability spurred the development of major organizational aspects of human civilization like government, professional warfare and concepts of empire. By the first millennium B.C.E., the region was home to the world's first multinational empire, the Assyrian Empire. Assyria introduced government innovations such as dividing its empire into provinces. Mesopotamia's geography also made governance challenging, and numerous rebellions occurred in the early millennia.
