In Cuba from 1900 through 1906 many events occurred that changed how the Island is today. In the early 1900's the island had a breakout of yellow fever that affected hundreds of people throughout the country. After multiple years of research an American military doctor, Dr. Walter Reed led a commission that determined that the disease was caused by mosquitos. During this same time period The United States and Cuba both agreed and signed the Platt amendment which was put in place after the Spanish-American war.

In the year 1900 the yellow fever disease had an outbreak and began to spread throughout Cuba. In 1901 U.S. Army doctor Walter Reed who at the time had recently studied a case of malaria in Washington Dc, went to Cuba and led a 4-team commission that started in May of 1901 and it eventually led to the verification that Yellow Fever was caused by Mosquitos. Also during the same time period in the early …show more content…
senator Orville Platt who was it's author, was passed by the U.S. Congress. The amendment led to the withdrawal of US troops that remained Cuba from the Spanish-American war. After the Spanish-American war the U.S. proposed the Platt amendment to Cuba. The Platt amendment allowed the U.S. to control Cuba and Cuba's government. The amendment also permitted the United States to lease / buy lands strictly for the establishment of naval and military bases. Another effect on the amendment was that, Cuba could not transfer Cuban land to another other country besides the United States. Under United States possession, schools were built as well as bridges, roads, and sanitation systems. Many Cuban citizen believed that the amendment was designed by the United States to take advantage of the island because they were newly freed and the island never had an experience self-governing themselves. Cuba was officially controlled and protected by the U.S. On June 12,1901 when they agreed to he

台灣早期流行音樂歌曲翻唱現象之研究

...台灣早期流行音樂歌曲翻唱現象之研究 原文:日治時期「翻唱」歌曲現象研究——以李臨秋及其他作品為例 作者:魏緗慈 國立成功大學台灣文學學系碩士生 組員名單 廣 3B 方秀羽 A0269339 廣 3B 江珈嫻 A0269088 廣 3B 林妍孜 A0269444 廣 3B 范懋辰 A0269193 廣 3B 馬國萱 A0269118 廣 3B 陳采萱 A0269312 廣 3B 楊書鳳 A0269126 廣 3B 鐘雲珍 A0269525 指導老師 羅雁紅 教授 壹、選擇此篇文章原因 現在有很多的流行音樂利用翻唱的方式呈現,我們想從中瞭解台灣早期翻唱 現象的起源。像是非洲原住民的音樂,隨著黑奴的買賣進入的美國,後來融入現 代流行音樂,成為了美國文化代表—爵士樂。台灣曾是日本的殖民地在當時日本 音樂隨之傳來,尤其戰後至70年代的20多年間,翻唱日本歌曲普遍存在,因此我 們想要觀察其形成的背景與對台灣流行音樂的影響。 貳、文獻內容 一、作者研究動機與目的 一八九五年的乙未割台事件,台灣進入日本殖民統治時期,也意味著西化與 現代化之窗,已勢如破竹般開啟 。一九一○年代蓄音器與曲盤唱片傳入台灣, 一九 二○年代為宣揚社會運動之理想與凝聚抗日意識等,所創寫之相關運動歌 曲,皆 成台灣創作歌曲蓬勃發展之基石。台灣人創作歌,包括社會運動歌曲或台語流行 歌曲等,於一九三○年代達至鼎盛,堪為台語流行歌曲的第一個黃金時期,此時約 值日本殖民統治中期,也可稱台灣民間力最蓬勃時期,亦即印證了流行歌曲的發展 軌跡貼近著廣大社會,更是庶民生活的真實寫照。在這段期間裡,影響台語流行歌 之因素眾多,除了物質層面如蓄音器與曲盤 設備,皆由日本自西方引進外,關於曲 調方面,亦可見外來之影響。也因曲調或部份旋律相同帶給閱聽者的熟悉感,新的 歌曲得以更快深入民間,有時是參酌原有歌詞或精神翻唱,有時是填入具台灣特色 的歌詞,藉著音樂與歌詞的力量,創造屬於當時特有的文化。 筆者在因緣際會下,巧合聽聞 PINKY5 糖果廣告歌曲,竟與小時候長輩所教 的日文兒歌〈桃太郎〉旋律一樣,感到莫名的熟悉,好奇著相同曲調帶來的影響與 背後的意義。至研讀日治時期台語歌詩相關資料時亦發現相同現象,乃著手研 究 「外來曲台語詞」 歌曲的資料與其時代意義。並且想要瞭解台語流行歌的興起與 受到什麼外來影響、日治時期台語流行歌曲的歌詞有什麼特色等等。 台灣與世界音樂交融互動,雖有受外來影響之曲,卻也有只台灣能寫出的台語 歌詞,那是只屬於日治時期台灣的時代記錄,是臺灣獨一無二的聲音「史書」,吟唱 著日治時期台灣人民的喜怒悲歡與生命回憶。因此,若欲瞭解日治時期的庶民文 化與流行歌曲,關於「外來曲台語詞」歌曲的確有其研究之必要性,而也應將台灣 曲調影響他者的部份納入討論,故以「翻唱」歌曲為題探討之。 二、台語流行歌曲發展背景 西元1932年日治時期的台灣,這首歌正在街頭巷尾傳唱著「人生相像桃花 枝,有時開花有時死,花有春天再開期,人若死去無活時......。」它是電影宣傳 歌,也是台灣史上「第一流行的唱片」依據《臺灣音樂史》〈桃花泣血記〉為台 , 灣人首次自行編詞創作之流行歌曲,而這台語流行歌曲的背後,蘊含著整個社會 的脈動與影響。 1.唱片工業的興起與外來「音素」影響 台語創作歌曲雖自一九二○年代,有宣揚社會運動之理想與凝聚抗日意識, 其相關歌曲,成為台語流行歌曲之前身。然則台語流行歌曲真正的流行,與蓄音 器密不可分。 日本殖民統治台灣期間 引進西方工業化的技術與設施...

Isaac Storm

...decisions after a horrific disaster in 1900 [Larson]. In addition, well-researched essays by Henry Demarest Lloyd and Emma Goldman back up Larson’s theory that the Gilded Age was actually a very dark time for the United States. Isaac’s Storm describes the historical aspects of the national weather service, weather forecasting, and hurricane predictions. Larson gives insight into the personal tragedy of a destructive storm in September of 1900 and how it affected Galveston, Texas and its position as a major city in the United States. Teemed with devastation and arrogance, the book follows Isaac Cline who was one of the first meteorologists at a time when there really was not a true science connected to weather predictions. He showed a real aptitude in this new field and eventually found himself assigned to the weather bureau in Galveston, Texas [Larson]. At the beginning of the 20th Century, a great confidence pervaded the United States. Isaac Cline was one of the era’s new men, a scientist who believed he knew all there was to know about the motion of clouds and the behavior of storms. This type of confidence was matched with the wealth and power of industry leaders acting as robber barons and not captains of industry [Foner]. According to Larson and essayists Lloyd and Goldman, there was an imbalance between the rich and the poor and the United States felt bigger and stronger than ever before. The Galveston Hurricane of September 1900 will...

Dbq Essay On Imperialism

...From the years 1898 to 1900, both the supporters and the opponents of the Spanish-American War believed that their belief on imperialism reflected the presumption of American identity through the political and economic policies of the time as well as the literature written about the social aspects of imperialism. The advocates for imperialism in the late nineteenth century supported their beliefs in a variety of ways. Most notably, they backed up their views by stating it was their god given right to become a dominating world power. In 1899, Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem titled The White Man's Burden: The United States and the Philippine Islands. The poem was about how god gave white people the task of enlightening those of different culture. Senator Albert Beveridge referenced this idea when he stated, ¨Fellow Americans, we are God´s chosen people¨(Document 4). The American people honestly believed they were better...

Galveston 1900

...Disaster in Galveston: The Hurricane of 1900 At the turn of the 20th Century Galveston, Texas was a prospering city that many considered to be ahead in the race for economic dominance in the state. It had a population of 37,000, a thriving business district, and an extremely active port which made it the center of trade in Texas. However on September 8, 1900 a hurricane swept the island, devastating its population, destroying many homes and businesses, and cutting it off from the rest of the world. Galveston is an island 30 miles long and at many points no more than one mile from north to south. Located off the south-eastern coast of Texas, it lies in between the Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Its location, while making it conducive to the sort of economic and social growth that came at the end of the 19th Century, also makes it dangerously prone to hurricanes. Warm waters, like those in the Gulf of Mexico, are a source of energy for storm systems. On top of sitting in warm ocean water, Galveston has a max elevation of only 8.7 feet (and an average much lower than that), making it susceptible to the dangers of storm surges and flooding. Since most of Galveston is at or only slightly above sea level, high waters pushed ashore by heavy winds were able to flood over the entire island, washing people and property away with it. Galveston’s societal conditions further exacerbated the destruction. In the late 19th and early 20th Century, the island was a thriving port and...

American Expansionism and Imperialism in the Late Nineteenth Century

...American Expansionism and Imperialism in the Late Nineteenth Century The end of the nineteenth century was a tremulous time for America. We had millions of immigrants pouring into our country from around the world. We had enough problems at home and the last thing our leaders wanted was to be drawn into war outside of the continental United States. We were founded on the idea of freedom and we were destined to protect individual rights to freedom, even if it took us beyond our borders. In the late 19th century the United States found its self, producing more agricultural and industrial products than it could consume. Business leaders and politicians began to look abroad to help boost our economic standing in the world. One percent of the population owned 99% of the wealth in America. As a nation we had to evolve (Woog 10). The work force in America began to unite. There were uprisings of people forming unions in order to change the work place practices. At first the corporations simply fired the disgruntled employees and hire others in their place. Working conditions were often deplorable “Because of this, the accident rate was higher in U.S. factories, mines and railroads than in any other industrial nation. According to a survey from 1907, half a million Americans annually were killed, crippled or seriously injured while on the job” (Woog 49). Eventually the government stepped in to regulate businesses. Teddy Roosevelt once intervened between...

Finlay was born in Camagüey, Cuba on December 3, 1833. He had a diverse education, studying in both France and America. During his time, yellow fever was ravaging and decimating the population of tropical areas, including his home country of Cuba.

After contracting cholera and almost dying from typhoid fever, he returned to Cuba where he practiced medicine. Throughout...
