Napoleón en Oriente

The appearance of modern mercenaries came at the end of World War II including the French, British, and Belgians that acted during the decolonization process in the 60s and 70s. Currently, the classic mercenary has been replaced by private military companies like Blackwater. This is their story.

Vender o ser vendido. Ese era el futuro de un negro africano mientras duró la trata de esclavos que tuvo al océano Atlántico como vía comercial. Durante siglos, blancos, negros, católicos, protestantes o musulmanes, estuvieron unidos en una tarea común: someter al débil para obtener beneficios. Todos, aunque actualmente parezca solo cosa de unos pocos. La captura de hombres y mujeres que promovió, provocó también el saqueo sistemático del continente por tributos o pillaje. La trata fue tan destructiva para África que sus efectos se han sentido hasta nuestros días: evitó la...

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By...
