Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean in 1513 while exploring what is now Panama. In 1849, the Panama Railroad was incorporated to provide quicker transport for people traveling to California during the Gold Rush. The French attempted to build a sea-level canal across the isthmus from 1880-1888 but failed due to poor planning, disease, and financial issues. The United States then took over the project in 1903 and succeeded in building a lock-canal through Panama from 1903-1914 after gaining control of the region. The canal was a major engineering achievement that allowed ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, cutting travel time significantly.

As the colonists emerged from their winter camps in 1779, they had gained valuable military training and were now confident in their ability to defeat the British. The focus of the war then shifted to the southern colonies, where the Continental Army faced difficulties fighting against loyalist colonists. While the British achieved some early victories in the south, American victories at Kings Mountain and Cowpens turned the tide. Finally, in 1781 General Washington and French allies trapped General Cornwallis' forces at Yorktown, cutting off escape by land and sea. After sustained bombardment, Cornwallis surrendered, effectively ending major military conflict in the American Revolutionary War.The Conquest of New France

The document summarizes the conquest of New France by Britain during the Seven Years War (French and Indian War) from 1756-1763. It outlines the strengths and weaknesses of both the French and British forces. The French had a large professional army but small population in New France, while the British had a large population in the 13 colonies but they were subsistence farmers with no unity. The document also describes key events that led to the British push into the Ohio River Valley and eventual Treaty of Paris that ceded New France to Britain, helping to create Canada as a bilingual nation and contributing to the evolution of the British Empire in North America.Wars of British Empire

The document summarizes events during the American Revolution period. It describes how King James II consolidated colonies into the Dominion of New England and imposed new taxes. This led to rebellions in 1689 as rebels arrested Dominion officials. While few initially sought independence, increased immigration and population growth by 1775 made colonists believe they deserved more respect from Parliament, leading some to reject British rule by the time of the Revolutionary War in 1775.After the fall of quebec

After the French surrender of Canada in the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the British gained control over New France. The terms of the treaty gave Britain all of France's North American colonies except Louisiana and two small islands. This ended the wars between Britain and France for dominance in North America. The French residents of Canada, known as les Habitants or Canadiens, were allowed to keep their lands and religion under British rule as they were not seen as a threat without French military support. The British issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which made the former New France the Province of Quebec and established rules for western land expansion that angered the 13 colonies.British north america 2013

After the American Revolution, many American loyalists who supported British rule fled north to British North America. Around 43,000 went to Quebec and 8,000 to the Maritimes. This influx of loyalists made the existing French-speaking Canadiens population in Quebec uncomfortable. In response, the Constitutional Act of 1791 divided the colony of Quebec into Upper Canada and Lower Canada. Upper Canada was meant for the English-speaking loyalists and had British laws and Protestant traditions, while Lower Canada maintained French culture, Catholicism, and French civil law for the Canadiens population.

The French explored North America beginning in 1524 seeking the Northwest Passage to Asia. Jacques Cartier explored the St. Lawrence River and claimed the land for France. Attempts to establish colonies failed due to harsh winters. The fur trade became important as Europeans traded goods for furs from Native peoples. Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec City in 1608 and formed an alliance with the Huron people, expanding French imperial interests in the region. New France was established as a royal colony in 1663, governed by an intendant, governor, and bishop to represent French interests in the new territory.Indian Nation Treaties with Test Questions

The French society of the 17th century was strictly hierarchical, with the king and aristocrats at the top and peasants and serfs at the bottom. Peasants lived difficult, brutal lives working small plots of land for little reward and facing epidemics, famine, and forced labor for their lords. City life in large cities like Paris brought some escape from the countryside but most urban residents still lived in poverty and faced high food prices and inflation. The growing middle class, or bourgeoisie, faced laws, regulations, monopolies and taxes that made it difficult to profit from new businesses and investments. By the late 18th century, financial troubles from wars and the lavish court of Louis XIV had left the French government deeplyArrivalin canada 2015

The document summarizes the early exploration and settlement of Canada by European powers. It describes Giovanni Verrazano and Jacques Cartier exploring Eastern Canada for France in the 1520s and 1530s. Cartier claimed territory for France and explored the St. Lawrence River. France sent expeditions led by Roberval to establish colonies in the 1540s, but they faced difficulties over tough winters. The fur trade began as a profitable venture in the late 1500s. England and the Netherlands also explored and claimed Canadian territories in the 1600s.

It describes Britain passing new taxes on the colonies through acts like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, leading to protests and boycotts by colonists. In response, Britain punished Boston by closing its port after the Boston Tea Party in 1773. Growing conflict in 1774 resulted in colonies stopping trade with Britain and beginning militia training, though most colonists still hoped for a peaceful resolution. However, by 1775 figures like Patrick Henry were openly preparing for war with Britain in speeches like his famous "Give me liberty or give me death!" rhetoric.Atlantic wars and revolutions

1) In England in 1688, King James alarmed Protestants by favoring Catholics, so William of Orange invaded with an army to intervene for the Protestants in what became known as the "Glorious Revolution".
2) During the 18th century, transatlantic crossings between Britain and its colonies tripled, reducing costs and increasing trade. Colonists lived near the coast and were more aware of events in Britain.
3) Within 13 years of the 1763 Treaty of Paris ending conflicts between Britain, France and Spain, the 13 American colonies would revolt against Britain over strains caused by victory in the Seven Years War.After the Fall of Quebec

1) The people of New France accepted British rule under military occupation, though many French traders left for other colonies. British and American traders expanded the fur trade further west.
2) Native peoples resisted the threat to their way of life from British and Anglo-American traders. Pontiac tried but failed to unite the tribes against the British.
3) The 1763 Royal Proclamation angered colonists by prohibiting their settlement west of the Appalachians, reserving that land for Native peoples. This was one cause of the American Revolution.How the americas change jamessmithiii

The American Revolution ended British rule over the North American colonies and created the United States. It was both an exhilarating and disturbing time. Many events led to the Revolution, including taxation acts by the British Parliament intended to raise revenue from the colonies and restrictions on colonial trade and settlement. Growing colonial unhappiness culminated in open warfare at Lexington and Concord in 1775. The Second Continental Congress formed the Continental Army under George Washington and governed the colonies during the Revolutionary War.CAMBRIDGE AS HISTORY: USA AND PANAMA CANAL 1903-1914

By 1900, European nations and former European colonies controlled 85% of the Earth's land. Major imperial powers included Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and Russia. New imperialism between 1870-1914 was driven by demands of industrial economies for resources and markets, nationalism and militarism, and beliefs in social Darwinism and the white man's burden. European powers colonized much of Africa and Asia, often exploiting local populations. The United States also joined in imperialism through acquiring Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines following the Spanish-American War of 1898.Manifest Destiny (CH 9 Sec 4)

Theodore Roosevelt had the ambition to build a canal through Panama to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans after the success of the Spanish-American War boosted American confidence. Construction began in 1904 after Panama agreed to let the U.S. dig the canal in exchange for money. Building the Panama Canal was an immense project that took 10 years and required dams, explosives to clear difficult areas, and modern equipment to construct the 51 mile canal. It faced many challenges like mosquitoes spreading disease, but was completed in 1914.Panama canal

Construction began in 1904 after the U.S. negotiated rights from Panama to dig through the narrow isthmus. Building the Panama Canal was an immense project that took 10 years and required overcoming challenges like controlling water flows with dams, clearing difficult terrain by explosion, and combating deadly mosquitoes.

The Panama Canal was first attempted by the French from 1879 to 1889 but failed due to poor working conditions, extreme weather, and lack of funds. The United States took over the project in 1904 and improved sanitation, reducing disease and improving worker morale. After 10 years of construction and over 5,600 worker deaths, the canal opened in 1914 using a system of dams, lakes, and locks to raise and lower ships across the isthmus.The panama canal

The document summarizes key events surrounding the Spanish-American War and its aftermath. It describes how the USS Maine exploded in Havana harbor in 1898, inflaming public opinion against Spain. When the U.S. declared war on Spain in April 1898, Theodore Roosevelt resigned as Secretary of the Navy to form the Rough Riders volunteer cavalry unit. The Rough Riders, along with African-American Buffalo Soldier regiments, played a pivotal role in the U.S. victory at San Juan Hill in July 1898, effectively ending the war. As a result of the war, the U.S. gained control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.The Panama Canal Prese ntation

Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovered the Isthmus of Panama in 1513, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In 1880, France began excavating the Panama Canal under Ferdinand de Lesseps, but construction stopped in 1889. The United States took over construction in 1904 under John Frank Stevens and chief engineer George Washington Goethals, completing the canal in 1914 using steam shovels and locks to allow ships to traverse the Culebra Cut and Gatun Lake. The Panama Canal Authority now operates the canal connecting global trade.Chapter 10 powerpt1 1

1) In the late 19th century, many American leaders felt the U.S. should establish overseas colonies like European nations. This began America's period of imperialism.
2) The U.S. acquired Alaska from Russia in 1867 and annexed Hawaii in 1898, seeing economic and strategic value in the territories.
3) In 1898, the U.S. went to war with Spain over Cuba's struggle for independence. The U.S. victory resulted in it gaining control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. This marked America's emergence as a world power.Chapter 10 powerpt1 1

The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Isthmus of Panama. Ferdinand de Lesseps led initial construction efforts by France starting in 1881, using a sea-level canal design. However, heavy rains, landslides, disease outbreaks and engineering challenges caused the loss of over 20,000 lives and bankruptcy after 8 years with little progress. De Lesseps ultimately quit the project in 1888 due to these failures. The United States later took over construction, switching to a lock-based design, and opened the canal in 1914 after 10 more years of work.Today in History for 1st July 2015

The Panama Canal has a long history dating back to the early 16th century when it was first proposed. Construction began in the late 19th century but failed. The US later took over the project in 1904 and finally completed it in 1914 after overcoming numerous engineering challenges. The canal features three sets of locks and allows ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, significantly reducing travel time. It remains a crucial global shipping route today, though expansion projects are underway to increase its capacity for larger modern ships.More from Delft Infrastructures & Mobility Initiative (6)

This document summarizes a presentation given by Peter Meesen of Rijkswaterstaat about future Dutch navigation locks projects and Rijkswaterstaat's experience sharing relationship with the Panama Canal Authority (ACP). It outlines Rijkswaterstaat's role and six lock renovation projects happening from 2013-2022. Rijkswaterstaat works closely with ACP, establishing a memorandum of understanding in 2008 to share experiences regarding project management, engineering, contracting and other areas through workshops, reviews and site visits. The most important lesson learned is that experience from others helps avoid bitter lessons of experience.05 pianc yp com 4 btv day 3 & 4 by daan jumelet

This document summarizes the design process for the Third Set of Locks project in Panama. It describes the engineering teams involved in the design from 2008-2012. Key aspects of the design included numerical and physical models to simulate the lock chambers, modeling different components in software like Abaqus, and developing seismic criteria for lock structures. The design optimized the concrete and rebar quantities compared to the initial tender. Over 300 engineers from multiple firms worked on the design which included over 9,500 drawings and review of tens of thousands of shop drawings. The effort represented a major international engineering accomplishment.Tud dimi general presentation-2010-2011_v2.2

Go_Innovation is a special residency for social innovator held by Netural Coop in Gorizia, European Capital of Culture 2025.
L炭dica did叩ctica / Play to Connect is a provocation to think outside the box, a methodology to board uncomfortable topics in a respectful and joyful manner and an excuse to discuss unconventional solutions to contemporary challenges, where play is seen as an attitude and game design as a metaphor of creativity by which to imagine, experiment and learn about our surroundings.
Casa Netural residency in Gorizia offered Diego an opportunity to test the ideas that he has been developing over the past years and to enrich them by looking at them from a different and complementary perspective. In other words to put theory into practice.
Along the 4 weeks that he lived in Gorizia he realized how mature and innovative his own understanding of the ludic phenomenon, as most people he connected with, found the value of his research, but what was amazing for him is how much his project was fed back from completely different and complementary perspectives.
Along these days he crafter four game ideas, with different levels of complexity and currently in different stages of development. These are described in the final report.

Industrial Designer by CIDI UNAM and Master in Science of Design for Interaction by TU Delft, Diego ALatorre is currently doing a PhD in Contemporary Studies at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coimbra University.
His research explores the role of games in education: from a multimodal literacy perspective, he explores the creative process of writers, scientists, designers, artists, teachers and reflective players to learn how to critically read the world and creatively write.

A bedroom is more than just a place to sleep; it's where you find comfort and a sense of peace. It's the room that feels like a hug after a busy day. The bed, soft and inviting, is where you can sink into relaxation, with pillows that cradle your head and blankets that make you feel cozy and safe. It's a place where you can let go of the world and just be.
You might have a dresser or a closet, a place to tuck away clothes and personal items, but its also where you keep the little things that make you feel at homelike a favorite book on the nightstand or a candle that smells like calm. Soft lighting adds warmth, and windows let in just enough natural light during the day to keep things bright but not too harsh.
Decor adds that personal touchwhether its a plant in the corner, art on the walls, or a rug that feels nice underfoot. Its where you can get away from everything, to recharge or reflect, and to make the space feel completely yours. A bedroom is the ultimate safe haven, designed for comfort, rest, and a sense of belonging.
