Tenerife is the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, off West Africa. It's dominated by Mt. Teide, a dormant volcano that is Spain's tallest peak. Tenerife may be best known for its Carnaval de Santa Cruz, a huge pre-Lent festival with parades, music, dancing and colorful costumes. The island has many beaches (with sands from yellow to black) and resort areas, including Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas.
Tenerife is the largest and most populated island of the seven Canary Islands. About five million tourists visit Tenerife each year, the most of any of the Canary Islands. Tenerife is one of the most important tourist destinations in Spain and the world. Tenerife hosts one of the world's largest carnivals and the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is working to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Served by two airports, Tenerife North Airport and Tenerife South Airport, Tenerife is the economic centre of the archipelago. Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the capital of the island and the seat of the island council (cabildo insular). The city is capital of the autonomous community of Canary Islands (shared with Las Palmas), sharing governmental institutions such as Presidency and ministries. Between the 1833 territorial division of Spain and 1927, Santa Cruz de Tenerife was the sole capital of the Canary Islands. In 1927 the Crown ordered that the capital of the Canary Islands be shared, as it remains at present. Santa Cruz contains the modern Auditorio de Tenerife, the architectural symbol of the Canary Islands.
Tenerife is home to the University of La Laguna; founded in 1792 in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, it is the oldest university in the Canaries. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city is the second to have been founded on the island, and is the third of the archipelago. The city of La Laguna was capital of the Canary Islands before Santa Cruz replaced it in 1833. Teide National Park, a World Heritage Site in the center of the island, has Teide, the highest elevation of Spain, the highest of the islands of the Atlantic Ocean, and the third-largest volcano in the world from its base. Also located on the island, Macizo de Anaga since 2015 has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Tenerife has the largest number of endemic species in Europe.

El estudio de nuevos restos arqueológicos cambiará muchas ideas sobre los benahoaritas
Hoy se ha presentado un fondo arqueológico que ha sido calificado como 'impresionante'. Se trata de más de 50.000 piezas, provenientes principalmente del yacimiento de 'Cueva Chica', que según los expertos vienen a cambiar muchos conceptos que se tenían por seguro de los antiguos pobladores de La Palma.
Así lo señaló el doctor en Arqueología Jorge Pais, quien recalcó que ahora se va a realizar un importante trabajo de catalogación para permitir una mejor comprensión de la piezas y su estudio.
Esta colección ha estado guardada a lo largo de más de veinte años en La Laguna, Tenerife, sin que viera la luz, y ahora, tanto por su cantidad como por la información que puede aportar su estudio sobre la vida y la cultura de los benahoritas, formado por materiales procedentes de Tijarafe, El Paso, Fuencaliente, Villa de Mazo, Santa Cruz de La Palma, Breña Alta, Puntallana, San Andrés y Sauces y Los Llanos de Aridane, que formarán parte de una exposición monográfica que a finales de año, se celebrará en el Museo Arqueológico para conmemorar el décimo aniversario de su apertura.
El director general de Patrimonio Cultural del Gobierno de Canarias, Miguel Ángel Clavijo, recalcó lo importante de la donación, que permitirá un trabajo exhaustivo de estudio y divulgación.
Por su parte, el presidente insular, Anselmo Pestana ha expresado su satisfacción por el ingente incremento que supone para los fondos del Museo Arqueológico Benahoarita, siendo un gesto que enriquecen a La Palma y acercan a la sociedad al conocimiento de su legado cultural patrimonial.
En definitiva, los materiales de la colección de Domingo Acosta, procedentes de la 'Cueva Chica', ofrecen una valiosa información sobre la forma de vida de quienes la ocuparon y que regresan tras un largo tiempo a donde pertenecieron, la isla de La Palma y su Museo Arqueológico Benahoarita de Los Llanos de Aridane.
Salvas de honor para recibir a la Nao Santa María y la campana de La Verdad
La Verdad que fue botada el 12 de abril de 1873 y naufragó en 1899 en las costas de las Islas Bermudas, cuando retornaba a La Palma desde Cuba.
Un total de 21 salvas de honor han sido las encargadas de dar la bienvenida a la bahía de Santa Cruz de La Palma a la réplica de la Nao Santa María, que abordo portaba la campana del mítico velero La Verdad, hundido en Bermudas a finales del siglo XIX, cuando retornaba a La Palma desde Cuba.
Esta bienvenida con las 21 salvas disparadas desde el Castillo de La Virgen, pretende poner de relieve la importancia de esta pieza única, que llega a Santa Cruz de La Palma para formar parte del patrimonio histórico insular.
Ese viaje interrumpido por la fatalidad hace 120 años ha sido culminado por la campana de La Verdad gracias a la generosidad de su propietario, el ciudadano norteamericano Thomas Cox, quien la poseyó durante 40 años y quien, tras conocer su origen, decidió devolverla de forma altruista al Museo Naval de La Palma.
La Verdad que fue botada el 12 de abril de 1873 y naufragó en 1899 en las costas de las Islas Bermudas, cuando retornaba a La Palma desde Cuba.
A su llegada a La Palma este miércoles, la Carabela Santa María ha sido escoltada por embarcaciones a vela en su entrada al muelle capitalino, donde permanecerá atracada cuatro días. Una vez que la campana sea oficialmente entregada al Ayuntamiento para su depósito en el Museo Naval, donde ya se ha dispuesto un emplazamiento de privilegio.

Entre los vestigios más destacables cabe reseñar las más de doscientas estaciones de grabados rupestres que aparecen dispersas por toda la orografía insular, desde la orilla del mar a las cumbres más elevadas. El objetivo del Museo Arqueológico Insular es la recuperación y rehabilitación del patrimonio arqueológico de la Isla, con 450 m2 dedicados a la exposición permanente de los benahoaritas donde se recrea su hábitat, costumbres, juegos, industrias de la cerámica, lítica, cestería y ósea, agricultura y ganadería, grabados rupestres, creencias, ritos funerarios y leyendas. También existe una sala para exposiciones temporales y otra sala donde se exponen las donaciones, ya catalogadas, hechas por particulares y que están contribuyendo a un crecimiento muy rápido de los fondos del museo. El edificio se completa con un pequeño auditorio, oficinas y salas de estudio, investigación, preparación, tratamiento y conservación de piezas arqueológicas.

SUMMARY
=======
The Spanish–American War (Spanish: Guerra hispano-americana or Guerra hispano-estadounidense; Filipino: Digmaang Espanyol-Amerikano) was fought between the United States and Spain in 1898. Hostilities began in the aftermath of the internal explosion of USS Maine in Havana Harbor in Cuba, leading to U.S. intervention in the Cuban War of Independence. American acquisition of Spain's Pacific possessions led to its involvement in the Philippine Revolution and ultimately in the Philippine–American War.The main issue was Cuban independence. Revolts had been occurring for some years in Cuba against Spanish rule. The U.S. later backed these revolts upon entering the Spanish–American War. There had been war scares before, as in the Virginius Affair in 1873, but in the late 1890s, U.S. public opinion was agitated by anti-Spanish propaganda led by newspaper publishers such as Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst which used yellow journalism to call for war. The business community across the United States had just recovered from a deep depression and feared that a war would reverse the gains. It lobbied vigorously against going to war.
The United States Navy armored cruiser USS Maine had mysteriously sunk in Havana Harbor; political pressures from the Democratic Party pushed the administration of Republican President William McKinley into a war that he had wished to avoid.
President McKinley signed a joint Congressional resolution demanding Spanish withdrawal and authorizing the President to use military force to help Cuba gain independence on April 20, 1898. In response, Spain severed diplomatic relations with the United States on April 21. On the same day, the U.S. Navy began a blockade of Cuba. On April 23, Spain stated that it would declare war if the U.S. forces invaded its territory. On April 25, Congress declared that a state of war between the U.S. and Spain had de facto existed since April 21, the day the blockade of Cuba had begun. The United States sent an ultimatum to Spain demanding that it surrender control of Cuba, but due to Spain not replying soon enough, the United States assumed Spain had ignored the ultimatum and continued to occupy Cuba.The ten-week war was fought in both the Caribbean and the Pacific. As the American agitators for war well knew, U.S. naval power proved decisive, allowing expeditionary forces to disembark in Cuba against a Spanish garrison already facing nationwide Cuban insurgent attacks and further wasted by yellow fever. American, Cuban, and Philippine forces obtained the surrender of Santiago de Cuba and Manila despite the good performance of some Spanish infantry units and fierce fighting for positions such as San Juan Hill. Madrid sued for peace after two obsolete Spanish squadrons sank in Santiago de Cuba and Manila Bay and a third, more modern, fleet was recalled home to protect the Spanish coasts.The result was the 1898 Treaty of Paris, negotiated on terms favorable to the U.S. which allowed it temporary control of Cuba and ceded ownership of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippine islands. The cession of the Philippines involved payment of $20 million ($588,320,000 today) to Spain by the U.S. to cover infrastructure owned by Spain.The defeat and loss of the last remnants of the Spanish Empire was a profound shock to Spain's national psyche and provoked a thorough philosophical and artistic reevaluation of Spanish society known as the Generation of '98. The United States gained several island possessions spanning the globe and a rancorous new debate over the wisdom of expansionism. It was one of only five out of twelve U.S. wars (against a total of eleven sovereign states) to have been formally declared by the U.S. Congress.

SUMMARY
=======
Italian Americans (Italian: italoamericani or italo-americani [ˌitalo.ameriˈkaːni]) are an ethnic group consisting of Americans who have ancestry from Italy. Italian Americans are the seventh largest Census-reported ethnic group in the United States (which includes American ethnicity, an ethnonym used by many in the United States; overall, Italian Americans rank seventh, behind German American, African American, Irish American, Mexican American, English American, and American).About 5.5 million Italians immigrated to the United States from 1820 to 2004. By 1870, there were less than 25,000 Italian immigrants in America, many of them Northern Italian refugees from the wars that accompanied the Risorgimento—the struggle for Italian unification and independence from foreign rule. Immigration began to increase during the 1870s, when more than twice as many Italians immigrated (1870–79: 46,296) than during the five previous decades combined (1820–69: 22,627). The 1870s were followed by the greatest surge of immigration, which occurred between 1880 and 1914 and brought more than 4 million Italians to the United States, the great majority being from Southern Italy and Sicily, with most having agrarian backgrounds. This period of large scale immigration ended abruptly with the onset of the First World War in 1914 and, except for one year (1922), never fully resumed.
Further immigration was greatly limited by several laws Congress passed in the 1920s.Approximately 84% of the Italian immigrants came from the former Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. This was the poorest and least developed part of Italy, still largely rural and agricultural, where much of the populace had been impoverished by centuries of foreign misrule, and an oppressive taxation system imposed after Italian unification in 1861. After unification, the Italian government initially encouraged emigration to relieve economic pressures in the South. After the American Civil War, which resulted in over a half million killed or wounded, immigrant workers were recruited from Italy and elsewhere to fill the labor shortage caused by the war. In the United States, most Italians began their new lives as manual laborers in Eastern cities, mining camps and in agriculture.
The descendants of the Italian immigrants gradually rose from a lower economic class in the first generation to a level comparable to the national average by 1970. The Italian community has often been characterized by strong ties to family, the Roma ...
