| | | | | Indies: Encyclopedia II - Isabella of Castile - Influence Isabella and her husband established a highly effective coregency under equal terms.

| | | | | Indies: Encyclopedia II - Isabella of Castile - Isabella and contemporay politics and religion In the twentieth century, the regime of Francisco Franco claimed the prestige of the Catholic Monarchs. As a result, Isabella was despised by those opposed to Franco, and is often blamed as the principal instigator of the Spanish Inquisition by seperatists, contrary to historical evidence (though she is certainly not without blame).
Some Catholic Spaniards have attempted to have Isabella declared as Blessed, with the aim iof later having her canonized as a Saint. Their justification is that Isabella was a protector of the Spanish poor ...

| | | | | Indies: Encyclopedia II - Luís de Camões - Os Lusiadas Os Lusíadas are named from the fabled hero Lusus, who is said to have come with Ulysses to what is now Portugal and called it Lusitania. Os Lusíadas tells the story of Vasco da Gama and the Portuguese heroes who sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and opened a new route to the Indies.

| | | | | Indies: Encyclopedia II - Isabella of Castile - Later years Isabella, a very religious person, received with her husband the title of Catholic monarch by Pope Alexander VI, a pope of whose secularism Isabella did not approve. Along with the physical unification of Spain, Isabella and Ferdinand embarked on a process of spiritual unification, trying to bring the country under one faith (Roman Catholicism). As part of this process, the Inquisition became institutionalized. After an uprising in 1499, the Treaty of Granada was broken in 1502 and Muslims were forced to either be baptized or to be expelled. ...

When her father, John II, died in 1454, her much older half-brother Henry IV became king.

Indigenous peoples of the Americas - Gender.

| | | | | Indies: Encyclopedia II - Indigenous peoples of the Americas - Controversial terminology Generally, ethnic groups desire that others use the name they give themselves. This preference has gained importance recently as a means of avoiding ethnic discrimination. The principle applies poorly to larger, multi-ethnic groups since different sub-groups often have incompatible preferences. English, like other natural languages, has traditionally ignored this principle, exerting its privilege to invent its own ethnic terms, such as German, Dutch, and Albanian, and disregarding the self-appellations and preferences of ...

| | | | | Indies: Encyclopedia II - Luís de Camões - Lyric Poetry Although Camões has primarily been recognized as an epic poet outside of Portugal and Brazil, he also left a large and impressive body of lyric poetry. His sonnets are classics of the portuguese language, and although sometimes repetitive in ideas, they exhibit enormous variety, from a breathtaking paraphrasis of Job ("That the day of my birth shall perish and decay") to laments about the disillusionment, the mutability, and the human weakness in the face of the great theatre of the world. Also worthy of mention are his poignant remembrances of his beloved Dinamene (Ti-Na-Men), his chinese l ...

| | | | | Indies: Encyclopedia II - War of the Austrian Succession - Frederick Invades Silesia: 1740 Prussia in 1740 was a small, compact and thoroughly organised power. The only recent war service of its army had been in the desultory Rhine campaign of 1733 - 1735. It therefore had a reputation as one of the minor armies of Europe, and few thought that it could rival the forces of Austria and France. But King Frederick William I had drilled it to a perfection previously unknown, and the Prussian infantry soldier was so well-trained and well-equipped that he could fire five shots ...

| | | | | Indies: Encyclopedia II - War of the Austrian Succession - Silesian Campaign of 1741 Frederick himself was far away. He had fought in the cavalry mêlée, but after this, when the battle seemed lost, he had been persuaded by Field Marshal Schwerin (1684–1757) to ride away. Schwerin thus, like Marshal Saxe at Fontenoy, remained behind to win the victory, and the king narrowly escaped being captured by wandering Austrian hussars.
The immediate result of the battle was that the king secured Brieg, and Neipperg fell back to Neisse, where he maintained himself and engaged in a war of manoeuvre during the summer. But Euro ...

| | | | | Indies: Encyclopedia II - War of the Austrian Succession - The Allies in Bohemia The French duly joined the Bavarian Elector's forces on the Danube and advanced towards Vienna, but the objective was suddenly changed, and after many countermarches the anti-Austrian allies advanced, in three widely-separated corps, on Prague. A French corps moved via Amberg and Pilsen. The Elector marched on Budweis, and the Saxons (who had now joined the allies) invaded Bohemia by the Elbe valley. The Austrians could at first offer little resistance, but before long a considerable force intervened at Tábor between the Danube and the alli ...

| | | | | Indies: Encyclopedia II - War of the Austrian Succession - Campaign of 1742 Frederick had hoped by the truce to secure Silesia, for which alone he was fighting. But with the successes of Khevenhüller and the enthusiastic "insurrection" of Hungary, Maria Theresa's opposition became firmer, and she divulged the provisions of the truce, in order to compromise Frederick with his allies. The war recommenced. Frederick had not rested on his laurels. In the uneventful summer campaign of 1741 he had found time to begin that reorganization of his cavalry which was before long to make it even more efficient than his infantry ...
