Europeans were geographically advanced and fortunate to have rich soil, iron , wood etc. They also had high temperature which was great for the plants, and crops that they had and it would also help the crops and plants grow in a quicker speed. Like I mentioned they were very smart in the way they used things, for example they used steel in a very interesting and very popular way back in the day and they used it for body armor which was a great advantage for them, and also very helpful, and very efficient as well.
The Europeans also made swords and guns to kill with, which

    Many people argue that it was by geographical luck that allowed Europe to become dominate and gain control of the world. Jared Diamond argues this thesis in his book Guns, Germs, and Steel. Mr. Diamond argues that Europe was able to dominate because of where it was located. He says Europe gained control because of two causes. First, there was a surplus of agriculture available where Europeans had settled. It was also home to many domesticated…

    After the return of Columbus from the Americas, his discovery led to the Columbian exchange which helped Europe's economy grow and colonization expand. After colonizing in America Europe started bringing in Indians from America to Europe to work on the sugar plantations which at the time were the best thing they had. Later on not only would there be Indians working on the plantations but also the Atlantic slave trade would bring in slaves from Africa. Also Europe's people start moving to the Americas and owning encomiendas in were they would own lands with natives there and in return to the crown they would turn the natives to Christian faith and learned Spanish. After Europe's progress a middle class also started rising in the social caste system and African slaves were used more than Indians.

    The Crusades influenced the European colonization projects by means of religion, commerce, and conquest. While Christians were on their way to try and capture the Holy Lands during the Crusades, they were exposed to the forgein and striking customs of the West; this included goods like silk and porcelin, and the Islam religion. Europeans found themselves wanting the goods overall, but the routes at that time to get to the West were troublesome, like the Silk Road. Furthermore, it caused Europeans to locate new routes by sea. The two main countries with the most thirst for conquest were Spain and Portugal, which lead to increased competition between them to find new territory and courses to the West.…

    This article by John de Crevecoeur,” What is an American” mainly talks about how America is superior and way better than Europe. It as well talks about how Americans are more hard-working people with higher industries than Europe does. For example, on paragraph one it states.” In this great American asylum, the poor of Europe have by some means met together and in consequence of various causes.” This quote shows how Crevecoeur talks about how America is better than Europe. When Crevecoeur mentions,” American asylum” this means that America is a hard labor country because in asylums all you do is work and work, while Europe does nothing about their poorness. Another main idea that Crevecoeur is that he compares Europe and American between their…

    In conclusion, I strongly feel that Americans could greatly benefit from adopting some of the immigrant customs discussed in The Immigrant Advantage. Kolker herself could be used as a role model or example for how a family could benefit from some of these traditions, from the money saving habits of the Money Club to the ease of dinner preparation using the Com Thang. I wholeheartedly plan on attempting to make use of available family members whenever it comes time to introducing my child to the world. The knowledge and love that an older family member would be capable of introducing into our home could easily prove invaluable. I also hope that by the time that my children are entering into their college years that I would be able to provide…

    In this essay I will examine the differing motivations that European nations had to come to the Americas. First and foremost I will explain the factors they had in common. All the European nations were beginning to experience a massive growth in population, recovering from the terrible depredations of the Black Death of the fourteenth century. Population growth brought in its wake the growth of national economies, the growth of consumer demand (including demand for exotic products), and the development of advances in shipbuilding and navigation, so that mariners could compete more effectively in the mercantile traffic of fifteenth-century and sixteenth-century Europe. The resurgence of commerce also gave a powerful impetus to the forces of centralization and nationalism, building powerful new monarchic nations whose leaders were intent on consolidating their claims to power by cultivating and fostering the economic development of their nations. Finally, European nations, fascinated by and hungry for increased trade with the we wealthy nations of Asia, sought better and more effective routes of transportation and trade which, in turn, drove these governments to…

    According to the text I believe the Americas were both discovered and conquered. The Bering Isthmus allowed nomadic Asian hunters to immigrate throughout the Americas for about 250 centuries. They discovered this land and made tribes that later became the Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Pueblo Natives and many more. Christopher Columbus accidently came upon an island in the Bahamas which brought the New World to light for the Europeans. As a result, the Europeans started sailing to this New World and because they heard gold could be found there they started conquering native lands in order to get it. For example, Hernan Cortes was so distracted by the amount of gold that he could get; he conquered the Aztecs who were at first friendly to them.…

    Throughout the course of a mere few decades, the makeup of the US and her citizens has evolved immensely. Along with the great racial and religious diversity, a constrained set of options when determining how one’s life should be lived is abolished. Nearly anyone from any racial/cultural background is exposed to an unlimited amount of routes to take through life. In addition to the vast lifestyle choices, a myriad of options pertaining to religion, education, housing, and employment are available in America. Despite the unfathomable span of possibilities, each American essentially strives to live one Dream—the one previous denizens of this land strived to reach as well. The epitome of this Dream consists of three chief factors—“life, liberty,…

    Signed in 1985, the Schengen Agreement created a single European territory without any internal borders. When it came into force in 1995, the main effect of the agreement was that citizens of signatory states could travel across borders without passports(Gaffey). Thus, it eliminated border checks among its members and also allowed foreign visitors to travel throughout the area using one visa. Currently, once you get a Schengen visa and enter one of the member countries, you can travel within and between them for the next three months (Didjurgis). There are 26 member states. Due to recent terrorist attacks as well as the influx of refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers, some member countries have put up borders; borders that are allowed. The…
