The evolution of the United States from a late-18th century coalition of rebel British colonies to a 21st century global superpower was shaped by several forces. As the nation expanded its boundaries after the Treaty of Paris confirmed independence from Great Britain in 1783, it acquired a rich variety of resources – coal, fertile soils, forests, iron ore, oil, precious metals, space, and varied climates as well as extensive tracts of territory. Technological innovations, such as the cotton gin and steam power, enabled entrepreneurs to exploit those resources and create wealth. Federal and state legislators provided environments in which the economy could flourish, and military strategists kept the country safe from external attack. Diplomats negotiated commercial agreements with foreign governments and cultivated multinational alliances that strengthened freedoms. Through its focus on the people and places that shaped the country’s economic and political development and its detailed accounts of the processes that enabled the U.S. to expand across the continent Historical Dictionary of the United States contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 400 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the United States.

This reference book is a compilation and description, in English, of the most prominent facets of our neighbor's history and was written to provide readers with a clear and factual understanding of its past. The work covers Mexico from its earliest identified indigenous civilizations through the modern era. It includes entries on a variety of important political leaders, intellectuals, writers, artists, soldiers, and the like who shaped Mexico while also bringing notable, if perhaps lesser-known, figures to the fore. It also includes detailed information on many native cultures and events, movements, organizations, parties, and ideas central to Mexican history. Each of the book's 606 entries is roughly half-a-page in length, but some major topics - Maya, the Catholic Church, Sor Juana, Hidalgo, Santa Anna, constitutions, Villa, the Revolution, Kahlo, and USMCA, for example - are longer. No entry is intended to be encyclopedic in scope, but all were written to provide fundamental facts and relevance to time and place in Mexican history. It is a lamentable circumstance that many in the United States, and elsewhere, know little about Mexico and they consequently often consider the nation with an underlying sense of mistrust if not outright disdain. The truth is that, with our long, shared border, interrelated economies, and blending populations and cultures, few nations in the world are of more importance to the United States than Mexico. In fact, in virtually every sphere vital to us - national security, health, energy, immigration, trade, crime, the environment, to name but a few - Mexico touches our daily lives and therefore should be, must be, treated as a primary partner and ally rather than adversary or foe. By providing details of the history of Mexico in an engaging and factual format, this book seeks to make the country more accessible, stimulate greater interest in its people and past, and help build greater understanding of one of the most remarkable places on earth.

Entries for authors, ranging from the early colonial period to the present, give succinct biographical data and an account of the author's literary production, with particular attention to their most prominent works and where they belong in literary history. The introduction provides a review of Latin American literature and theater as a whole while separate dictionary entries for each country offer insight into the history of national literatures. Entries for literary terms, movements, and genres serve to complement these commentaries, and an extensive bibliography points the way for further reading. The comprehensive view and detailed information obtained from all these elements will make this book of use to the general-interest reader, Latin American studies students, and the academic specialist.

The first reference work of its kind, this volume on the United States-Mexican War encompasses the decade of the 1840s, focusing on the war years of 1846-1848. More than a dozen maps were drawn for this book, some of which depict major regions and localities over which armies of both nations moved great distances to position for battle, and others that depict major battlefields from the first engagement to the last. The narrative overview paints a broad picture of the war for both historians desiring a review before continuing research, and for the interested layperson, unfamiliar with the war and in search of an overview of the entire period. The dictionary itself contains hundreds of thoroughly researched entries describing the war's personalities, battles and campaign trails, armaments, support systems, political factions involved in the conflict in both nations, and an array of other topics related to the war. Includes illustrations of the central figures of the conflict, a detailed chronology, and a bibliography of traditional and contemporary sources useful to the professional scholar, student, and amateur historian.
