the history of California

California had been inhabited for more than thirteen thousand years by numerous Native American tribes, before European explorers reached it in the 16th century. Forgotten in the seventeenth century by the Spanish, it was colonized only from 1765 under the pressure of Charles III of Spain. This colonization was based on three pillars: the missions, to convert the Native Americans, the garrisons, which ensured the defense of the territory, and the Pueblos, where the settlers resided. It was during this period that the British and French became interested in California, followed by the Russians in the early 19th century. After Mexican independence, Alta California became a Mexican state, but the United States soon became interested in the region, annexing it after the Mexican-American War of 1848, giving the acquired territories the name of Mexican Cession. The gold rush brought more than two hundred thousand settlers to the new territory, and the western part became, by 1850, the 31st state of the Union. California was allied with the Northerners during the Civil War and developed rapidly through the railways. This development has continued uninterruptedly throughout the 20th century, despite the problems of water supply and pollution, which remain topical today, as well as problems related to immigration and racial tensions.

One day, if I go to Heaven, I will look around and say, “Not bad, but it's not San Francisco.”
