What is the history behind Albuquerque, New Mexico?

The history behind Albuquerque in New Mexico is quite rich. The Spanish official Don Juan de Oñate, at the time governor and captain general of the Kingdom of New Mexico, was the one who arrived at the Rio Grande Valley in 1598. He decided to settle in the fertile area, a good location to found a Spanish community.

But Oñate soon realized that he would need to deal with the Pueblo Indians, native people which claimed almost all of the desirable land on that region. Oñate ordered his men to move and continued north to explore other sites for the new city. Thus in the northern lands some catholic missionaries first settled in the geographic area that one day will be known as Albuquerque, a city that in the past belonged to Spain.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
