To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In an incredibly short space of time, by an un- paralled series of tours of exploration and feats of arms, the whole coast region, both on the east and west, was visited by a mere handful of daring spirits and fell a prey to "civilization. " Colonies were founded in Brazil as early as 1504. The conquest of Mexico was achieved by Cortes with five hundred and fifty men in 1510-21, while Pizarro in 1531-2 with one hundred and eighty men marched against the Inca, and reduced his empire to vassalage.... In Buenos Ayres the foundations of dominion were laid in 1535, in Paraguay in 1536, and in Chili in 1541. For the better part of three cen- turies the original conquerors retained possession, and then suddenly and almost simultaneously (1809-21), by a common and irresistible impulse imparted from the Napoleonic wars, the inhabitants of every province, from Texas to Tierra del Fuego, rose in rebellion, cast off the foreign yoke, proclaimed independence, and one after another adopted a republican form of government.
