The cartoon below plays with the geopolitical view of the United States on the world, in
which the pejorative character is evident. The term “defeated drunks” to refer to Russia a) It
relates to the xenophobic reaction of the US population to the mass migrations of Russian
workers to the US after the end of socialism, labeling them as drunkards and without
professional qualifications. b) It refers to the end of the cold war when the USSR, defeated in
the face of the military superiority of the United States, is obliged by this country to get rid of
all its nuclear arsenal. c) Refers to the excessive consumption of vodka by the leadership of the
Soviet Communist Party, the main cause of the end of socialism and the disintegration of the
former USSR. d) Refers to the supremacy of Capitalism established with the crisis of socialism,
the dominant socio-economic system in this country during most of the 20th century. 2.
“Shortly before the end of the Civil War, the government announced, in 1862, the law (...) that
granted ownership of 160 acres of land to anyone who cultivated for at least five years. This
law attracted huge waves of European immigrants to the United States, favoring the
occupation and economic exploitation of lands inhabited by indigenous peoples”. The text
portrays a period of strong US territorial expansion, and the way in which the country used
legal devices to encourage spatial growth is an important result of geographic science and in
this case was represented by: a) Monroe Doctrine b) Declaration of Yorktown c) Big Stick d)
Homestead Act e) Declaration of Independence This content belongs to Descomplica.

acquired by the power below can be largely explained by: a) The traditional agricultural activity
that has always accompanied the country's history. b) Due to the industrial hegemony
acquired shortly after the first Industrial Revolution, when the country definitively broke with
agricultural activities, focusing exclusively on the industrial and technological area. c) Due to
the technological leadership achieved at the beginning of the 20th century, when an extensive
technical-scientific belt was formed on the northeast coast of the country. d) For being one of
the five member countries of the UN Security Council with veto power, a condition achieved
shortly after the First World War. e) For a history of geopolitical doctrines, such as the Monroe
Doctrine, Manifest Destiny and the Roosevelt Corollary. 4. Analyze the map below and identify
the alternative that best describes what it shows. a) Agricultural Belts, which are
predominantly monoculture farming belts specialized in the production of crops that make
better use of each space in the national territory. b) US agricultural distribution, defined
directly from government policies and public interests. This content belongs to Descomplica.

industry in the US, determined by the concentration of industrial inputs and infrastructure for
distribution to the foreign market. d) Industrial Belts, which are distributed throughout the
space according to locational factors, such as the Cotton Belt, Manufacturing Belt and Sun Belt.
e) The agricultural belts present an extensive production, using large spaces and with an
emphasis on organic agriculture. 5. See the map: Considering what is represented, it can be
said that a) Due to the proximity to the northern border of the USA, the states in the region
have a greater number of foreigners in their population composition. b) In every state where
the foreign population is significant, foreigners go to the countryside, as, for example, in the
case of Florida. c) Although there is a strong presence of foreigners in some cities, in the main
American cities, this presence is not important. d) The Midwest and North, being more rural,
have more foreigners in the population as a whole, because these are unskilled labor. e) On
the West coast of the USA, the strong presence of foreigners is due, among other factors, to
the strong migration on its southern border. 6. The proportion of Latinos in the USA is growing
It is already known that the Latino population is changing the face of United States, and the
numbers confirm it: every 30 seconds a person of this origin is born in the country. Latinos are
