In the midst of either extreme, is the whole process leading from the colonial situation gradually a new nation. Precisely, this process is the essence of the argument, that after defining the objectives and methodology, it paints a picture of Venezuela in the second half of the eighteenth century, the first secessionist movements and the Spanish projects to prevent secession. Continuing with the statement of the events that happened between 1809 and 1814, which are considered dominated by the social anarchy, chaos and political irregular warfare, a war that is charged by social connotations of the various groups that are gaining prominence.

Summary: This research is focused on some myths conspiratorios emerged and spread in Argentina and Chile during the first half of the twentieth century. This series of myths conspiratorios have the particularity of consistently referring to Patagonia: space is considered both the southern geographic location of the development of a comprehensive unpatriotic as the territory to obtain as a result of the same plot. The central hypothesis of this research is encouraged that the creators and promoters of myth used the existence of a cultural humus in their societies of origin, insisted that characterize Patagonia under the mantle of the exotic, and so far border. That Gallery representations of the Patagonian facilitated the expansion of conspiratorial beliefs on the southern areas, such as those which insisted that by 1920, a conspiracy anarco-peruana wanted desgajar south of the Chilean national sovereignty. These myths were conspiratorial results of the political and intellectual activities of individuals and groups closely linked to various forms of the extreme right, both reactionary character (patriotic leagues of Argentina and Chile), fascistoide (the National Socialist Movement of Chile or newspapers "nationalist" The Argentines Crisol and Pampero) as ultramontano (the journal Studies in Chile or the newspaper El Pueblo de Buenos Aires). There were also tracked the emergence and expansion of conspiratorial beliefs within the Armed Forces of Argentina and Chile, to try to reconstruct the process of building the image of "Enemy traandino" as a country and avasallante SUBTRACTING territory. Myths are not conspiratorial studied only as ideas, but as elements involved in the social reality and with the ability to influence it. They organize the collection, cut and possible actions defined in the field symbolic us and the enemy. The myths are political tools to act on the world, as well as ways to explain and justify these actions. In that sense, the myths manufactured and recycled can not depart too much from the general beliefs of a society because they run the risk of failing to attract a significant number of support. In the social diagnosis offered by producers myth is usually include implicitly or explicitly call for a crusade anti-conspirativa and anti-decadentista, as pointed out by Pierre Taguieff.

Summary: The quest for increased agricultural production was the main objective of agricultural policy delos Antoninos emperors. To achieve this and other purposes, the imperial government had to adjust its policy to the particular circumstances of each region of the Empire. It took several legislative measures in different provinces, all aimed at achieving this cherished increase production. In Africa, the Laws Mancian and Hadriana enabled farmers to raise the arable land. The granting of semipropiedad on farmland, and the ability to pass these rights on the cultivation of these lands to their successors, accounted strong incentives for farmers, who only had to give change to one third of the harvest to obtain. In Italy, the particular conditions in the same speech called for a completely different by the imperial government. The creation, dissemination and momentum of the so-called policy of the Feed allowed an improvement in the situation of the peasantry italic. This policy consisted of a series of loans to farmers, who had to deliver some modest annual interest to be used in feed for boys and girls poorest of the cities that were attached the program. Another measure that affected Italy was the imposition of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius to senators to hold part of their assets in soil italic. Nerva, for many creator of the policy of Feed, also tried to solve the problems of the countryside italic buying land for later transfer it to the most disadvantaged members of the Roman rabble, and alleviate in part, the pressure that this group was exercising in the city Rome. At the end of the second century, the emperor Pértinax tried to introduce revolucionarías measures, such as the transfer of any land, regardless of whether they were privately owned and were abandoned or imperial, whom I cultivate it, giving it significant exemptions. However, the brevity of his reign prevents us from determining the scope of this proposal, which should be nonexistent if we stick to the recovery of lex Hadriana makes his successor Seventh Severus in the same territories where he applied for the first time. All these actions were meant to achieve an increase in production that could be used by the imperial government. Augustus had designed an organization, Annona, which is responsible bel supply the plege Rome and army established borders. The emperor try to wing Annona ensures the maximum amount of agricultural resources with which to deal with this enrome demand posed feeding both the rabble of Roma, as the army.

It draws attention to what is contradictory to say that the conquests of Alexander the Great were an improvement in the understanding of the geographical area and at the same time say that their historians merely follow the classical legacy. It should be admitted regardless of whether there is a belief that there was progress in science Greek or not, it was never an explicit objective by Alexander the Great. As for the attachment of its historians by tradition, it stands to be attributable to any civilization translates according to their own cultural patterns all that studying.
