Hello it is me again now that you know about me know it time for you to know about me and my family's history. So now I am going to discuss my own family's personal history and historical influences, focusing on the major historical issues of: language, religion, immigration, and economics.
LANGUAGES:
Okay, so now you might want to know what my mom speaks. She speaks Spanish and my father speaks the that same language because their parents taught them but, if you go further in to history of the Spanish language, way before, Spain took over almost half of South America an they they were forced to learn the Spanish language.
So, from my father's side; He is from Mexico so the past ancestor's of his family are Aztecs. They learned the language because Cortez came to Central America and made the Aztecs learn how to speak Spanish,and follow their rules, but the Spaniards also killed/destroyed many of the Aztec tribes. Many died and because of this, Mexico went to war with Spain. In the end, Mexico won, or else we'd be speaking Aztec right now.
Now, from my mother's side; They also speak Spanish because they came an took over that piece of land, or South America an the made them speak Spanish. There's the story on how Mexico went from being an Aztec to a Spanish language.
But, the main reason that my parents came to the U.S.A. is because the economic condition was very bad, down in the South America. They were not well payed, and the government did not help them with anything and my parents thought that they were old enough to come to the USA.
Now, in their country, the economics are better then before, now the average person makes 550 pesos which in Mexico, is a lot of money and in Peru, the average person makes 520 soles which is also allot. So, you can see that Mexico has more money then Peru.
So now that you know about my history so bye bye!!! =]
