Wish I could speak Spanish…and Mandarin…and just about every language for that matter lol
Also, woah, the description is amazing. “Reconocido como el imperio de esta época, es la nación más poderosa de todos los tiempos. Surgida como nación independiente en 1776, ha alcanzado un notable desarrollo económico, científico y militar. Se ha caracterizado históricamente por despojar por la fuerza a otras naciones y países de territorios y recursos naturales para ponerlos al servicio de sus empresas y monopolios. Con apenas el 4% de la población mundial, consume el 25% de la energía que se produce en el planeta[1], y a pesar de su riqueza más de un tercio de su población no tiene asegurada la atención médica.” Laying the facts! “It’s characterised by taking away land and resources by force from other countries, putting them to their own companies’ service. It only has 4% of the world’s population, but uses 25% of its energy. More than a third of its population has practically no medical coverage”.
Woah, I didn’t know Cuba had its own “wikipedia”, I’m so glad it does! Just days ago I was talking with my friend about how Argentina should have implemented its own Wikipedia (just as the Chinese had done) in order to get away from USA propaganda. Internet ownership is important, the way it is now, people are starting to speak broken spanish, translations are doing literally and horribly, and English is started to reign, and this is no good. China has been able to stop this in some way, but look at Japan and japanese, for example!
Sorry but you linked the article about the United States.
What’s wrong with linking the article about the US? Isn’t that what the OP intended?
I dont know what they intended, but America is not the same as the United States. Even though many people from the US use both interchangable, which doesnt make any sense.
right, updated the title
Thanks!
It makes sense because the full name is “The United States of America” so people drop the “The United States” part and just say “America”.
No, it doesn’t make sense because America is a continent. And when you call people from the USA ‘Americans’ it’s really confusing because everyone in the American country is American. In fact, this is a form of USA-centrism. In Spanish, we do not call them ‘Americans’ but rather ‘estadounidenses’ or ‘yanquis’ or ‘gringos’ (those two are despective), or even ‘norteamericanos’ (which also actually includes Canada).
I’m not saying it’s correct, I was just illustrating that there is a logic to it. So it can still make sense, even if it’s not the correct usage.
A lot of socialists in Latin America really don’t like the usurpation of “America” to only to mean the US, so just saying US when you mean that is more clear.
