Discusión:Historia de Puerto Rico

Plantilla:WP Puerto Rico Resulta obvio que aunque se hace referencia al libro de Francisco Scarano,500 años de historia, se perpetuan varios de los mitos ensenados en la educación primaria en Puerto Rico. Los indios, no creyeron a los españoles dioses, mas bien los españoles interpretaron esto por la trato que recibieron. Los tainos eran pacifistas y hospitalarios razón por la cual dieron regalos y no mostraron objeción de compartir la isla con los colonizadores. Otra falacia es que a Diego Salcedo lo mataron para verificar su inmortalidad. Este argumento es muy débil puesto que ¿quien se atreve a intentar ahogar a alguien que considera un dios inmortal? La realidad es que Diego Salcedo tenia un grupo de Tainos esclavizados en una expedición en el oeste de las isla y en rebelión estos le dieron muerte. Los Tainos sabían ya de la mortalidad de los Dioses, puesto que el fortín de Navidad, construido con los restos de la Santa Maria, fue quemado y todos los colonizadores asesinados. Esto hasta aparece en la película titulada Columbus, pues cuando regresan a La Española (Republica Dominicana) se encuentran con este detalle. Es bien conocido que los tainos de ambas islas se comunicaban entre si. Esto entre varias otras cosas necesitan corrección, he hecho bastantes en la pagina de Puerto Rico y pronto hare algunos aquí. Espero que estas aclaraciones generen discusión y que estos artículos sean un recurso imparcial y académico para el disfrute de todos los cibernautas.

No quiero cambiar nada, solo quiero añadir que este artículo NECESITA CORRECIONES. Esta línea chocó con lo que justo el profesor acaba de discutir en clase:

"...los puertorriqueños en general se negaron a reconocer la nacionalidad estadounidense."

Ojo: no soy afiliada a ningún partido, pero esa línea es errónea. Los recibieron con vítores casi.

Ahora que releo, se nota que esta página es bien parcial, a favor de los independentistas. NO es objetiva.

Gracias

Historia de Puerto Rico

Entiendo que la version en Ingles en Wikipedia es mucho mas objetiva que esta version en Español. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico

Under United States sovereignty On July 25, 1898 during the Spanish–American War, Puerto Rico was invaded by the United States with a landing at Guánica. As an outcome of the war, Spain ceded Puerto Rico, along with Cuba, the Philippines, and Guam to the US under the Treaty of Paris.[24] Puerto Rico began the 20th century under the military rule of the US with officials, including the governor, appointed by the President of the United States. The Foraker Act of 1900 had given Puerto Rico a certain amount of popular government, including a popularly-elected House of Representatives. By 1917, the Jones-Shafroth Act granted Puerto Ricans US citizenship — which they still hold — and provided for a popularly-elected Senate to complete a bicameral elected Legislative Assembly. Until the first gubernatorial election in 1948, the Presidency of the Senate and the Resident Commissioner seat in Congress were held by Puerto Rico's top politicians.

Many Puerto Ricans served in the US Armed Forces beginning in World War I. Natural disasters, including a major earthquake, a tsunami and several hurricanes, and the Great Depression impoverished the island. Some political leaders demanded change; some, like Pedro Albizu Campos, led a nationalist (The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party) movement in favor of independence. He served many years in prison for seditious conspiracy to overthrow the US Government in Puerto Rico.[25] Luis Muñoz Marín initially favored independence, but saw a severe decline of the Puerto Rican economy and growing violence and uprisings, and opted to support the "commonwealth" option instead like some predecessors.

The internal governance changed during the later years of the Roosevelt–Truman administrations, as a form of compromise led by Muñoz Marín and others. It culminated with the appointment by President Truman in 1946 of the first Puerto Rican-born governor, Jesus T. Piñero. In 1947, the US granted the right to democratically elect the governor of Puerto Rico. Muñoz Marín became the first elected governor in the 1948 general elections, and served for 16 years, until 1964.

Starting at this time, there was heavy migration from Puerto Rico to the Continental United States, particularly New York City, in search of better economic conditions. Puerto Rican migration to New York displayed an average yearly migration of 1,800 for the years 1930-1940, 31,000 for 1946-1950, 45,000 for 1951-1960, and a peak of 75,000 in 1953.[26] As of 2003, the US Census Bureau estimates that more people of Puerto Rican birth or ancestry live in the US than in Puerto Rico.[27]

On November 1, 1950, Puerto Rican nationalists Griselio Torresola and Oscar Collazo attempted to assassinate President Harry S Truman. Subsequently, the Truman Administration allowed for a democratic referendum in Puerto Rico whether Puerto Ricans desired to draft their local constitution.[28] A local constitution was adopted in July 25, 1952 and Puerto Rico adopted the name of Estado Libre Asociado ("Free Associated State"), translated into English as Commonwealth, for the body politic, and this still denotes the current relationship with the US.[29][30] During the 1950s Puerto Rico experienced a rapid industrialization, due in large part to Operación Manos a la Obra ("Operation Bootstrap") (an offshoot of FDR's New Deal) which aimed to industrialize Puerto Rico's economy from agriculture-based to manufacturing-based.

Now Puerto Rico has become a major tourist destination and a leading pharmaceutical and manufacturing center. Yet it still struggles to define its political status. Three locally-authorized plebiscites have been held in recent decades to decide whether Puerto Rico should pursue independence, enhanced commonwealth status, or statehood. The relationship with the US has remained unchanged due to narrow victories by commonwealth supporters over statehood advocates in the first two plebiscites, and an unacceptable definition of commonwealth by the pro-statehood leadership on the ballots in the third. In the latest status referendum of 1998, the "none of the above" option won over Statehood, a rejection by Commonwealthers of the definition of their status on the ballots, with 50.2% of the votes. Support for the pro-statehood party, Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP) and the pro-commonwealth party, Partido Popular Democrático (PPD) remains about equal. The only registered pro-independence party, the Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP), usually receives 3-5% of the electoral votes, though there are several smaller independence groups like the Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico ("Puerto Rican Nationalist Party"), el Movimiento Independentista Nacional Hostosiano ("National Hostosian Independence Movement"), and the Macheteros - Ejercito Popular Boricua ("Boricua Popular Army").

On 25 October 2006, the Puerto Rico State Department conferred Puerto Rico Citizenship to Juan Mari Brás. The Puerto Rico Supreme Court and the Puerto Rican Secretary of Justice determined that the Puerto Rican citizenship exists and was recognized in the Constitution of Puerto Rico, as in the Insular Cases (Casos Insulares in Spanish) of 1901 through 1922 of the US Supreme Court. Since the summer of 2007, the Puerto Rico State Department has developed the protocol to grant the Puerto Rican citizenship to Puerto Ricans[31]
