European colonization of the Americas

European colonization of the Americas should be remembered as a tragedy for the impractical and immoral acts upon Native Americans and slave laborers. The European colonization of the Americas was a series of atrocities committed upon underdeveloped territory by settlers throughout the Americas. Many European countries took part in the advantages of the land to increase economic trade and newly found resources. However, the net result of this colonization for the indigenous who already inhabited

Violence was an inevitable consequence of the European colonization of the Americas. This is obvious when the different factors are considered. First, Europeans had no interest in a long term peaceful solution. Second, the meeting of two isolated societies always includes dangerous problems. And third, the New World had limited resources. The colonization of the New World was not a nice affair. Most colonists had little interest in the plight of the natives and even those who did were mostly motivated

Extensive European colonization began in 1492, when a Spanish expedition headed by Christopher Columbus sailed west to find a new trade route to the Far East but inadvertently landed in what came to be known to Europeans as the "New World". Europeans acquired the magnetic compass, which allowed mariners to determine direction even when out of sight of land. When the new world was discovered, “The Columbian Exchanged”

Latin America is one of the less developed when compared to different parts of the world.

The importance of racial hierarchy in the sense of European colonization efforts can largely be linked back to power and control. One of the greatest tools that the Europeans had in their conquests in the Americas and Africa was their use of religion as a means of rendering the native peoples that they intended to take advantage of docile.

INTRODUCTION America would not be the same it is today without the numerous times of territorial expansion from the 17th to 19th century. America started with European Colonization in the 17th century, its borders were defined in the 18th century, and America extended from a coast to coast nation in the 19th century.
