Sinossi

In "The Year after the Armada, and Other Historical Studies," Martin A. S. Hume delivers a meticulous exploration of the tumultuous period following the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. Hume's literary style strikes a delicate balance between scholarly rigor and accessible narrative, enriched by a comprehensive examination of primary sources. Each study within the collection offers profound insights into the socio-political ramifications of this significant historical event, illustrating how the fragile balance of power in Europe was transformed in its aftermath, while addressing the intricacies of diplomacy, warfare, and popular sentiment of the era. Hume, a prominent historian of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, brought to this work not only his extensive academic background but also a passion for uncovering the narratives that shaped modern Europe. His scholarship encapsulates a broader intellectual movement that sought to analyze historical events through the lens of their impact on national identity and power dynamics, rooted in a rigorous methodology influenced by Enlightenment ideals. This collection is an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of European history, offering a nuanced perspective on a pivotal moment in time. Hume's work not only expands our understanding of a key historical event but also invites readers to reflect on the broader consequences of warfare and imperial ambition.

The aspects of Anne Boleyn's life and death are fiercely debated by historians, yet her ladies-in-waiting remain an understudied topic.

Ancient Origins of Mesoamerica -...

NORAH ROMNEY

Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and, to a smaller extent, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Peru, and Bolivia in the Central Andes have deep-rooted roots in the subsoil of their pre-Columbian civilizations. The first chapters of the history of Latin America correspond to those who inhabited it before their first contact with Europeans. This is especially true in Mesoamerica. The objectives here are to show the development of the peoples and high civilizations of Mesoamerica before the establishment of the Mexica (Aztecs) in the Valley of Mexico (1325); second, to examine the key features of the political and socio-economic organization, and the artistic and intellectual achievements achieved during the period of rule of the Mexica (Aztecs) in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries; and, finally, present a vision of the prevailing situation in Mesoamerica, on the eve of the European invasion (1519), between the solid continental masses of North and South America, Mesoamerica (that is, the area where it developed with High culture difficulties, which, at the time of contact with the Spaniards, reached an area of about 900,000 km2), has a varied isthmic character, with various geographical features, such as the gulfs of Tehuantepec and Fonseca, on the Pacific Ocean coast, the Yucatan Peninsula and the Gulf of Honduras.
