Geography and History

ASSIGNMENT: create a map that outlines
three phenomena of your choice at an approximate year of your choice. Write a 2- to 3-
page explanation of the map that you have created, responding to the following question:
How did the phenomena that you mapped impact the development of the history of your
chosen region in the specific year you chose to investigate?

REGIONS: Primary slave societies (Cuba and Brazil)

PHENOMENA TO MAP (choose three):
– Natural resources exploited by domestic & foreign powers – Major cities and rural areas
– Migratory flow

SPECIFICATIONS:
Your map may be created on a computer. In either case, it should be colorcoded, so that each of the three phenomena you have chosen to map is clearly
differentiated by a distinct color. The accompanying 2- to 3-page paper is not required to
include citations to text material, but should be type-written entirely in your own words,
in 12-point, Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with regular 1” margins.
