About this listen
Aprenda sobre la Guerra más Mortífera en la Historia de los Estados Unidos
Ninguna otra guerra en la historia de los Estados Unidos ha provocado tantos debates y conflictos como la guerra civil estadounidense. Durante más de 150 años, en la vida americana, la historia de la guerra civil ha sido una fuente de disputas, confusión e incluso desprecio. Aun hoy, el público estadounidense no puede ponerse de acuerdo sobre las causas de la guerra civil, sin importar sus lecciones o legado.
En la guerra civil murieron más estadounidenses que en la Primera Guerra Mundial, la Segunda Guerra Mundial y Vietnam juntas. La guerra no solo enfrentó a estadounidenses entre sí, sino también a familias, vecinos, amigos. En algunas partes de los Estados Unidos, el conflicto entre la Unión y la Confederación todavía sigue siendo profundo. De hecho, las preguntas fundamentales de la guerra civil, preguntas sobre la (des) igualdad racial, los derechos de los ciudadanos y el papel del gobierno, siguen siendo en la actualidad el motivo de debates candentes. En muchos sentidos, la guerra que se cobrara la vida de más de 600.000 estadounidenses hace un siglo y medio sigue siendo la batalla más grande que se librara en suelo estadounidense.
En La Guerra Civil: Una Guía Fascinante sobre la Guerra Civil Americana y Su Impacto en la Historia de los Estados Unidos, descubrirá temas tales como:
- Una Nación Tensa
- Se Agrietan los Cimientos
- El Primer Disparo
- Bienvenida a la Guerra
- Días Sangrientos
- Proclamando la Libertad
- La Guerra se Ve Sombría
- Cambiando el Rumbo
- La Lucha Final
- Reunificada
- La América de la Posguerra
- ¡Y mucho, mucho más!
¡Obtenga este libro ahora para aprender más sobre la guerra civil!
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

La enorme cantidad de combatientes que periódicamente zarpaban hacia el Cercano Oriente para luchar contra los musulmanes son una prueba de la popularidad generalizada del aventurerismo en el extranjero en ese momento. La idea de una cruzada, en la que grandes ejércitos procedentes de varias regiones de Europa se reunían con el fin de luchar contra los musulmanes turcos y árabes, quedó tan arraigada que se amplió para incluir a las cruzadas contra las sectas cristianas europeas heréticas.

El colapso del mercado de valores de 1929 no provocó la Gran Depresión en sí misma, pero fue un poderoso punto de partida simbólico para el mayor desastre económico del siglo XX. En ese oscuro día de octubre de 1929, se perdieron fortunas y el temor a la inseguridad financiera aumentó en todo Estados Unidos y el mundo. En 1932, el punto más bajo de la Depresión, un tercio de los estadounidenses no tenían trabajo e incluso había más gente desempleada que en otros países.

The Roman gladiator has long been a figure of fascination. Portrayed frequently in fine art and popular culture alike, the gladiator is both a real part of history and a legend of a romanticized past. We know that these men entertained Roman audiences by fighting in dangerous and often deadly games. But who were the gladiators? What were their lives like? And why do they continue to have such a strong hold on our imagination, centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire?

In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.
