1. What fundamental factors drew the Europeans to the exploration, conquest, and colonization of the New World? What was the impact on the Indians, Europeans, and Africans when each of their previously separate worlds “collided” with one another? What caused the shift from indentured servant to African slaves as the dominant labor force in the southern colonies?

The time period of 1450-1750, known as the Early Modern era was a time of expansion and empire building for many places around the world. Places such as Western Europe, Russia, East and South Asia building empires was becoming more and more popular. Some places of Western Europe had colonies in the Americans, while Eastern Europe and Asia tended to stay on their continent. No matter the type of empire whether it had colonies, spread across different parts of a continent, or all in one place they had similar motivations for being built. Western European, Russian, East and South Asian Empires had similar motives for being built, to have an increase in power, to spread religion, and in respect for the ruler.

In the 17th and 18th century, each colony approached the idea of unity; however, they each had different proposals. Due to the colonies being separated from Great Britain, they developed different political conceptions from each other. However, when it came to the point that the colonies believed they should unite, each colony wrote a document stating their ideal, united government. Thus, some documents included God as a factor, proposing ideas that would be what God desires. Meanwhile, other documents provided militaristic notions, while others claimed that they should keep their connection with Britain. Comparing the documents from each other, it is perspicuously shown that there is a distinction between their intentions for a united government.

1. The Columbian Exchange was when diseases, crops, cattle, and other aspects of life were transferred between the existing civilizations of the Western and Eastern hemispheres. This also brought new diseases to each location, killing natives as they were not immune to such illnesses due to lack of exposure. Population increased as new crops and animals increased the global food supply. Mercantilism resulted in increased colonialism due to the economic success of the Columbian Exchange.

Q6. During the time, many Latin American countries were slowly trying to find their way to a democracy. A democracy is a government by the people. A democratic way of life includes practice such as free elections, citizen participation, majority rule, minority rights, and a constitutional government. Many nations would begin to follow the democratic practices as well as beginning to accept their own democratic forms of government; however, to achieve a democratic government it would take years. The struggle for democracy in other nations would occur well beyond the 21st century. DUring this time, countless nations were breaking free from authoritarian rule and turning to democracies instead. More specifically, it would spread widely throughout

Good evening to everyone in attendance, today I intend to persuade you that the modern day struggles you may endure do not equate to the struggles of an African-American slave like myself during the American Revolutionary period. In the 1770’s, the colonies’ relationship with British monarchy became rotten after an abuse of power and resulted in the American Revolutionary War. I saw the war as a beacon of hope and an opportunity at freedom; unfortunately, while the colonists won, and though the founding fathers of this country advocated in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal”, my status as a slave never changed. Although the American Revolution was able to reform much of the corrupt tyranny the British placed in North America, America’s newly founded government

The countries of South America, Africa, and Asia were under the shadow of the more powerful European and American countries before and during the World Wars. Before the wars European nations colonized other countries such as Asia, South America, and especially Africa. It was a means for European countries to advance their global power. Meanwhile, the Africans and other native people, had been treated as weak and disrespectable, hurting African, Asian, and South American pride. After WWII, the countries each tried to gain independence from their European leaders, and as they did so, some of the new leaders envisioned unity, such as the pan-African vision. The desire for unity was commonly motivated by a longing for significant world power along

1: In the mid 15th century, European nations started to desire power, wealth, and resources. Because of this, they formulated motives to find quicker routes to the far east to trade for valuable luxuries, such as spices and silks. These products were in high demand Europe, and could sell at incredibly high prices. They were named luxuries for a reason though, as they had to travel thousands of miles through heated deserts and violent seas. Understandably, the merchants of Europe wanted to find an easier way to Asia. However, due to prevailing winds on the west coast of Africa, a voyage down the African coast would be a one way trip. This problem was later solved with the invention of Caravel, a ship that could make the journey back home against

As the Spring term comes to a close, my Inside-Out class is learning about the trade interest of various empires and settlements in the world during the early 1700s. When I started studying this new topic one of my biggest questions was “ Why did countries go out of their way to not trade with certain countries even though they need their products?” I understand that back then some countries did not have the best relationships with each other, but I don't see why they could not put aside their differences for things that they needed in the trade. Slavery was also a big deal for trade because slaves were one of the few things that were exempt from restrictions and in the article I read about there was a lot of intolerance for African Americans and Indians in the 17th century as well. It seems that the game we are playing in class and the article I read is heavily based on the significance of trade in several parts of the world and lack of tolerance between countries and races.

It became the most important port in Northern Europe by sending ships and men east to come back with six hundred thousand pounds of pepper; this got them noticed by others.

Europe was not always like how it is now. At first, there was no such thing as zero. Roman numerals started at one because they didn’t get what zero was. Since then, Europe has revolutionized. By the year 1300 Europe was flourishing and eventually conquered most of the known world. It was not easy but, they were able to do it. Without knowing, Europe was a perfect place to win many different wars and to conquer different places. When the Europeans came to Central America, they were deeply tricked into war by the Inca Empire. The leader sent them gift baskets and told them to meet them at a certain place. When the Europeans arrived they saw that they were about to be in a combat zone against 80,000 men, meanwhile they only had 168 (Guns,Germs,

The twenty-first century has seen its share of civil rights actions. The movements and groups harmed in the United States has been shown support from countries in the Middle East, the UK, and even as far as Asia that are uninvolved but sympathetic and have given support back. When looking back on the nineteenth and twentieth century there was the same connection between countries even transatlantic from Britain to the United States. In a time with revolutions for social and political change and eventually war society was ripe for petitions for minority groups wanting emancipation including Women, Slaves, and Jews. The different groups supported and worked off each other to achieve their goals. The groups helped the others because they understood what it felt like to be marginalized from key aspects of a free and involved life.

Most of the American population believed that the "Indian" people are inferior, treat them as the barbarians, and often as foolish children. The Indians could not claim equal status with other nations, because initially, by their nature they are not equal to the white people.Forcible relocation to Mississippi rivers was a clearing the land for white occupancy and national police didn’t have any changes from 1790s only expansion and reformulation of the law.Since the English settlers arrived in the New World they have continually driven the Native Americans out of their native lands.
