Расположение Пуэрто-Рико

Пуэрто-Рико (исп.«богатый порт»; сокращённоPR), официальноСодружество Пуэрто-Рико, являетсясамоуправляемым архипелагом и островомв Карибском море , организованным какнеинкорпорированная территорияСоединённыхШтатовпод обозначениемСодружество. Расположенный примерно в 1000 милях (1600 км) к юго-востоку отМайами,Флорида, междуДоминиканской Республикойв​​Больших Антильских островахиАмериканскими Виргинскими островамивМалых Антильских островах, он состоит изодноимённогоглавного острова и множества более мелких островов, включаяВьекес,КулебраиМона. С приблизительно 3,2 миллионамижителейон разделён на78 муниципалитетов, из которых самым густонаселённым являетсястоличныймуниципалитетСан-Хуан, за которым следуют муниципалитеты в пределахстоличного района Сан-Хуан.Официальными языкамиправительстваявляютсяиспанскийианглийскийхотяиспанский преобладает.

Пуэрто-Рико был заселен чередой индейских народов , начиная с 2000 до 4000 лет назад; к ним относились ортойроиды , саладоиды и таино . После прибытия Христофора Колумба в 1493 году на него заявила права Испания , а затем в 1508 году его колонизировал Хуан Понсе де Леон . Пуэрто-Рико оспаривалось другими европейскими державами вплоть до XVIII века, но оставалось испанским владением в течение следующих 400 лет. Сокращение численности коренного населения , за которым последовал приток испанских поселенцев, в основном с Канарских островов и Андалусии , и африканских рабов , значительно изменили культурный и демографический ландшафт архипелага. В Испанской империи Пуэрто-Рико играл второстепенную, но стратегически важную роль по сравнению с более крупными и богатыми колониями, такими как Перу и Новая Испания . К концу 19 века начала формироваться особая пуэрториканская идентичность, сосредоточенная вокруг слияния европейских , африканских и коренных элементов. В 1898 году после испано-американской войны Пуэрто-Рико был приобретен Соединенными Штатами .

Пуэрториканцы являются гражданами США с 1917 года и могут свободно перемещаться между архипелагом и материком . Однако жители Пуэрто-Рико лишены права голоса на федеральных выборах и, как правило, не платят федеральный подоходный налог . Как и четыре другие территории , Пуэрто-Рико направляет в Конгресс США представителя без права голоса , называемого Резидентом-комиссаром , и участвует в президентских праймериз ; поскольку Пуэрто-Рико не является штатом, у него нет права голоса в Конгрессе США , который контролирует его в соответствии с Законом о федеральных отношениях Пуэрто-Рико 1950 года . Конгресс одобрил территориальную конституцию в 1952 году, что позволило жителям архипелага избирать губернатора в дополнение к сенату и палате представителей . Политический статус Пуэрто-Рико является продолжающейся дискуссией .

Начиная с середины 20-го века, правительство США совместно с компанией Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company запустило ряд экономических проектов по превращению Пуэрто-Рико в индустриальную экономику с высоким уровнем дохода. Международный валютный фонд классифицирует его как развитую юрисдикцию с передовой экономикой с высоким уровнем дохода ; он занимает 40-е место в Индексе развития человеческого потенциала . Основными секторами экономики Пуэрто-Рико являются производство , в первую очередь фармацевтика , нефтехимия и электроника, за которыми следуют услуги , а именно туризм и гостеприимство.

  • Image 3 Erika to the north of the Lesser Antilles shortly after peak intensity on September 9 Hurricane Erika was the strongest and longest-lasting tropical cyclone in the 1997 Atlantic hurricane season. It developed from a tropical wave on September 3 and moved west-northwestward across the tropical Atlantic Ocean, steadily intensifying until it attained hurricane status on September 4, becoming the fifth named storm and third hurricane of the season. Erika passed a short distance to the north of the Lesser Antilles, and later turned to the north in response to an approaching trough. The hurricane quickly strengthened to become the only major hurricane of the season, reaching maximum sustained winds of 125 mph (201 km/h) on September 8; after maintaining its peak strength for 24 hours, Erika began to weaken as it passed over cooler waters. It turned to the east, weakened to a tropical storm, and became extratropical after passing near the Azores archipelago. The hurricane produced light rainfall and winds throughout the northern Lesser Antilles. The passage of Erika carried a cloud of volcanic ash to Antigua from the eruption of the Soufrière Hills Volcano on Montserrat, a rare occurrence. Strong waves from the hurricane produced beach erosion and coastal flooding in northern Puerto Rico, and caused the death of two surfers. Moderate wind gusts in the northern Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico left thousands of residents without power, and resulted in $10 million (1997 USD, $12.6 million 2006 USD) in damage in the U.S. Caribbean territories. Erika also produced gusty winds and light rain in the Azores. Erika was the only tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean in the months of August and September, the first occurrence of such event in an Atlantic hurricane season since 1929. (Full article...)

  • Image 4 Monument of Roberto Cofresí located in Boquerón Bay. Roberto Cofresí y Ramírez de Arellano[a] (June 17, 1791 – March 29, 1825), better known as El Pirata Cofresí, was a pirate from Puerto Rico. He was born into a noble family, but the political and economic difficulties faced by the island as a colony of the Spanish Empire during the Latin American wars of independence meant that his household was poor. Cofresí worked at sea from an early age which familiarized him with the region's geography, but it provided only a modest salary, and he eventually decided to abandon the sailor's life and became a pirate. He had previous links to land-based criminal activities, but the reason for Cofresí's change of vocation is unknown; historians speculate that he may have worked as a privateer aboard El Scipión, a ship owned by one of his cousins. At the height of his career, Cofresí evaded capture by vessels from Spain, Gran Colombia, the United Kingdom, Denmark, France, and the United States. He commanded several small-draft vessels, the best known a fast six-gun sloop named Anne, and he had a preference for speed and maneuverability over firepower. He manned them with small, rotating crews which most contemporaneous documents numbered at 10 to 20. He preferred to outrun his pursuers, but his flotilla engaged the West Indies Squadron twice, attacking the schooners USS Grampus and USS Beagle. Most crew members were recruited locally, although men occasionally joined them from the other Antilles, Central America, and Europe. He never confessed to murder, but he reportedly boasted about his crimes, and 300 to 400 people died as a result of his pillaging, mostly foreigners. (Full article...)

  • Image 6 Eloise in the Gulf of Mexico before striking Florida Hurricane Eloise was the most destructive tropical cyclone of the 1975 Atlantic hurricane season. The fifth tropical storm, fourth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the season, Eloise formed as a tropical depression on September 13 to the east of the Virgin Islands. The depression tracked westward and intensified into a tropical storm while passing to the north of Puerto Rico. Eloise briefly attained hurricane intensity soon thereafter, but weakened back to a tropical storm upon making landfall over Hispaniola. A weak and disorganized cyclone, Eloise emerged into open waters of the northern Caribbean Sea; upon striking the northern Yucatan Peninsula, it turned north and began to re-intensify. In the Gulf of Mexico, the cyclone quickly matured and became a Category 3 hurricane on September 23. Eloise made landfall along the Florida Panhandle west of Panama City before moving inland across Alabama and dissipating on September 24. The storm produced torrential rainfall throughout the islands of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola, causing extensive flooding that led to severe damage and more than 40 deaths. Thousands of people in these areas became homeless as flood waters submerged numerous communities. As Eloise progressed westward, it affected Cuba to a lesser extent. In advance of the storm, about 100,000 residents evacuated from the Gulf Coast region. Upon making landfall in Florida, Eloise generated wind gusts of 155 miles per hour (249 km/h), which demolished hundreds of buildings in the area. The storm's severe winds, waves, and storm surge left numerous beaches, piers, and other coastal structures heavily impaired. (Full article...)

  • Image 7 POW/MIA flag The United States Department of Defense has estimated that approximately 61,000 Puerto Ricans served in the military during the Korean War, most of them volunteers. A total of 122 Puerto Rican soldiers were among the 8,200 people listed as missing in action (MIA). According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, there are 167 who are unaccounted for. This list does not include non-Puerto Ricans who served in the 65th Infantry, nor those who were "POW" (Prisoners of War) or "KIA" (Killed in Action). Nor does the total of this list include people of Puerto Rican descent who were born in the mainland of the United States. Spain officially ceded Puerto Rico to the United States under the terms of the 1898 Treaty of Paris which concluded the Spanish–American War.

  • Image 10 Milagros Benet de Mewton (née Benet Colón; 22 November 1868 – 26 December 1948) was a Puerto Rican educator, women's rights advocate and suffragist. Born into an intellectual, liberal family, Benet trained as a teacher. Inhabitants of the island gained U.S. citizenship in 1917, two decades after the United States acquired Puerto Rico from Spain in the Spanish–American War. Benet was active in the struggle for women's enfranchisement and joined the first suffragist organization Liga Femínea Puertorriqueña that year. When U.S. women gained the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1919, Benet led the push to extend its coverage to Puerto Rico. In 1924, she filed a lawsuit challenging the right of the electoral board to refuse to register women as they were U.S. citizens. The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico ruled that states and territories have the right to determine who can vote and denied her claim. Benet continued pressing through the Liga Social Sufragista for the filing of various bills, which continued to be rejected by the insular legislature. In 1928, she pushed for the U.S. Congress to resolve the discrepancies in voting rights for women in Puerto Rico. Faced with the possibility that the federal legislature might give women the right to vote, the Puerto Rican legislature finally passed a law in 1929 granting suffrage to literate women. Universal suffrage, eliminating the educational restrictions, was gained in 1936. Benet is remembered for her work in education and for expanding women's rights in Puerto Rico. (Full article...)

In 1928, she pushed for the U.S. Congress to resolve the discrepancies in voting rights for women in Puerto Rico. Faced with the possibility that the federal legislature might give women the right to vote, the Puerto Rican legislature finally passed a law in 1929 granting suffrage to literate women. Universal suffrage, eliminating the educational restrictions, was gained in 1936. Benet is remembered for her work in education and for expanding women's rights in Puerto Rico. (Full article...)
  • Image 11 The 1985 Atlantic hurricane season was an average, yet destructive year that experienced a near-record number of hurricanes strikes in the United States. It is tied with 2020 and only surpassed by 1886. The season officially began on June 1 and lasted until November 30. This was partially attributed to a La Niña – a meteorological phenomenon that produces favorable conditions across the Atlantic basin, such as lower wind shear and higher sea surface temperatures. The first storm, Ana, developed on July 15 near Bermuda and caused minor effects in Canada while transitioning into an extratropical cyclone. Three other tropical cyclones – Claudette, Henri, and Isabel – did not significantly affect land. Claudette developed offshore of the Southeastern United States and brushed Bermuda and the Azores. Henri and Isabel were dissipating as they approached land. However, the precursor of the latter caused a severe flood in Puerto Rico that killed 180 people. Additionally, Tropical Storm Fabian and three tropical depressions did not have any known impact on land. Although several storms caused minimal effects, several tropical cyclones also left extensive impact. Hurricane Gloria, the strongest storm of the season, resulted in 14 fatalities and about $900 million (1985 USD) in damage in North Carolina, Virginia, the Mid-Atlantic, and New England. Hurricane Elena threatened the central Gulf Coast of the United States, then abruptly re-curved toward Florida. Unexpectedly, Elena doubled-back and struck Mississippi, resulting in two mass evacuations. The storm caused $1.3 billion in losses, with most of the damage in Louisiana and Mississippi. Similarly, Hurricane Juan caused $1.5 billion in damage due to its erratic track offshore and across Louisiana. Three other tropical cyclones – Hurricanes Bob, Danny, and Kate – caused moderate to extensive damage in Cuba and the United States. Kate was a unusually late and record breaking November hurricane that struck the Florida on the 21st; a record for the latest U.S. hurricane. (Full article...)

Первые пуэрториканские иммигранты в Нью-Йорке

Пуэрториканцы как иммигрировали, так и мигрировали в Нью-Йорк. Первая группа пуэрториканцев иммигрировала в Нью-Йорк в середине 19 века, когда Пуэрто-Рико было испанской колонией, а его жители — испанскими подданными. Следующая волна пуэрториканцев, переехавших в Нью-Йорк, сделала это после испано-американской войны в 1898 году. Пуэрториканцы больше не были испанскими подданными и гражданами Испании, теперь они были пуэрториканскими гражданами американского владения и нуждались в паспортах для поездок в смежные Соединенные Штаты .

Так было до 1917 года, когда Конгресс США одобрил Закон Джонса-Шафрота , который предоставил пуэрториканцам в Пуэрто-Рико гражданство США с определенными ограничениями. Пуэрториканцы, проживающие на материковой части США, однако, получили полное американское гражданство и им было разрешено добиваться политических должностей в штатах, в которых они проживали. Два месяца спустя, когда Конгресс принял Закон о выборочной службе , воинская повинность была распространена на пуэрториканцев как на острове, так и на материке. Ожидалось, что мужчины-пуэрториканцы в возрасте 18 лет и старше будут служить в армии США во время Первой мировой войны . Закон Джонса-Шафрота также позволил пуэрториканцам путешествовать между Пуэрто-Рико и материковой частью США без необходимости иметь паспорт, тем самым становясь мигрантами. Появление воздушных перевозок стало одним из главных факторов, которые привели к крупнейшей волне миграции пуэрториканцев в Нью-Йорк в 1950-х годах, известной как «Великая миграция».
