Christopher Columbus is the one who founded America. In 1492, thinking he had landed on the other side of Europe, Columbus had found a new land called America. This had happened because Christopher Columbus was trying to figure out a shorter route to get to the other side of Europe. This matters because, he was the explorer who found America. He had explored in the years of 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502.…
French and Spanish colonizers came to America to obey the rulers (king and queen) of Spain, while the English were considered “free people” as long as they still practiced and followed the English law.…
The introduction of this narrative was quite intriguing to the spirit. I was under the impression that the author was writing about Christopher Columbus. Although the characters in the story are part of the voyage to the New World, it appeared that this was going to be another scenario about Columbus. This was not the case. Moreover, the text highlights an individual that had an unknown name; however, he was a Taino Indian from the Bahamas. He was one of seven whom Christopher Columbus captured and took to explore the New World. What I found that surprised me about the exploration is how many letters and writings was sent back Europe and number of voyages that was made to America.…

One of the central themes in J.M. Blaut’s book The Colonizer’s Model of the World, is that the social stratification and class system, which was built around the farmers and the landowners, which is cited by Marx and Eric Jones as the foundation that Europe was able to use to rise to power and dominance was reflected and found in similar forms throughout Africa and Asia. He utilizes the writings Jones and Marx, specifically The European Miracle from Jones, to show their belief that it was the social stratification and inequality that was key to Europe’s rise in the late 1400’s, early 1500’s. However, evidence that points at similar structures based around serfs and wealthy landowners throughout Asia and Africa…
Yes, what Columbus and his follower did to the Indians is definitely unacceptable. I too, did not know the true story behind Columbus until now, which is why I raised this question. I think Columbus Day is celebrated to teach the kids some history. However, in reality, to most people it is just a holiday, a day off from work and school. I think that teachers should emphasized to the students that it is more than just a holiday, but a day where slavery and massive murdering begins.…
_Myths of the Spanish Conquest_ is broken into seven chapters, each dedicated to a different myth or mis-conception regarding the Spanish conquest. In debunking these myths, Matthew Restall works with three themes regarding the conquest. First, that the European discovery of the Americas was one of the greatest events in human history. Second, that the conquest was the achievement of "a few great men," which he subsequently describes as "a handful of adventurers." These two themes lead to a third theme, or question. "If history's greatest event - the European discovery and conquest of the Americas - was achieved by a mere "handful of adventurers," how did they do it?"…
It seems that almost every country in Europe has been sending explorers all over the world. Many of the explorers do what they are supposed to do and are successful in their voyages. However there are also explorers, or more specifically, conquistadors that have failed in the the missions given to them by the country for which they are exploring and conquering for. This poses the question of, is money being wasted by our leaders that could be used to better our countries?…
Colonization in Latin America had a major effect on the native people because of the Triangle Trade.When the Europeans took over the Americas, they also took over Africa and brought the Africans over though the Triangle Trade and forced the Africans to gather all of The gold that the Americans had because the Europeans wanted to get the gold the easy way, they didn't want to to all the work so the Europeans made the Africans do it. The Triangle Trade took place during the 18th century (Doc 2). The evidence from the picture and the quote show that the Spanish killed and destroyed a lot of people. Spanish forced the natives to do all their work while killing them at the same time. Colonization in Latin America had a major effect for those reasons.…
The first is more political and economical rather than cultural - money and power. Most of empires, states and civilizations have allways tried to invade others, or at least spread their influence to get economical and policital profit. With the western culture the best historical examples are probably conquest of The New World, Africa, Australia, and so on. They didn't go there mainly to dominate the native cultures, but to gain money from local resourses and political power.…
When one thinks of the America that exists today, many people do not think about how the New World became America. When Columbus first discovered the Americas the only thing in the New World was native life. So, how did all these plants, animals, disease, and technology make their way to the transfer from the Old World to the New World, and from the New World to the Old World? The answer to this question would be the Columbian Exchange. Referring to the exchange of diseases, ideas, food crops, and populations between the New World and the Old World following the voyage to the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492 (Nunn, and Qian). This exchange was very important to the development of America, and would help lead America into becoming a world power later in history. The Columbian Exchange brought domestic animals, crops, diseases, and technology to the New World and to the Old World.…
