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.

This meant that there was literally no one to help tend and care for the land that was previously kept alive and flourishing by the people in the societies. There were many contributions to the death of large populations by a small amount of people. One of these contributions was the factor of diseases. Many of these people had never been introduced to these diseases so there were not immune to them and they did not have any medicine to help them fight the diseases off. However, there were some positive effects of the arrival of the Spanish.

    The first piece of evidence is (Doc. K) where Diaz says, “‘to serve God and His Majesty [the King of Spain], to give light to those in darkness, and also to get rich.’” This basically means that their reasons for going to the New World were: to serve God and the King, to convert people to Christianity, and to get gold. Many explorers did get very rich and earned recognition for their hard work. They also gained a higher social status due to being able to buy more expensive things and also being one of the first to go to the New World. Another piece of proof is (Doc. A) where Christopher Columbus declares the island of San Salvador for his Lord. This shows that the island of Sans Salvador became Spain’s. This means that people could begin to settle there. Also, the explorers who found San Salvador could potentially have a position of a position of power, as there were fewer people on the island. To sum it up, the colonization of the New World impacted the people more than trade because of the effect on the…

    In the early 1800’s, countries in Latin America were still under the rule of the Europeans. This meant that even though they gained “independence”, they were still controlled by the Europeans. The United States, however, had recently gained its independence from Britain, & was now recognized as an independent nation. The U.S. wanted to expand its territories to get raw materials and a market for their industrial products. Since European countries were colonizing Africa, India, & other weaker countries, Americas interest in their Western hemisphere neighbors grew. To keep the interest to themselves, the U.S. issued the Monroe Doctrine in 1823. This document stated further efforts by European nations to colonize land or interfere with states in North or South America would be viewed as acts of aggression, thus requiring U.S. intervention.…

    Colonization is building a colony in new land, but unfortunately, as seen in throughout history, that definition of colonization was not the case. Colonization was an outlet for the imperial nations to spread their religion, their economic beliefs, and the rule of monarchy, but not to present change necessary by the colonized tribes. It was the power of governing influence of a democracy over a dependent country, territory, or group of people to exploit them for their land and resources. A noticed pattern of this redefined colonization can be see all the way back to the 1700’s and has continued today. Superior groups saw colonization as an opportunity to abuse their power and take over inferior colonies who won't resist with any armed protection. It is noted that throughout history, countries used colonization as a way to handle their economic and social issues. It has evolved into a vessel for racism, oppression, and dehumanization. These patterns of the development of colonization and its impact can be seen dating back to the 1700’s in texts such as A Modest Proposal and Zong, then the transition into the 1800’s as colonization evolved from the Industrial Revolution that can be seen in the control of the Native Americans, into more recently in the 1900’s in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and The Big Chief Mshlanga and we take a look at how colonization has impacted the world today in excerpts from “Home”.…

    In 1492 Columbus landed on Hispaniola, territory that belongs to the Caribbean Islands. The discovery of a new continent aroused curiosity among European nations. As a result, many of them traveled to explore the New World in search of resources. These explorations led to the colonization of America, which began one year after the discovery of Hispaniola. By 1502, the Spanish explorer Nicolas de Ovando established a base in Hispaniola. This represented the beginning of the Spanish colonization in America. With the Spanish empire having control over Europe, Asia, and America, the Atlantic and Pacific oceans served as the main routes for the exchange of goods and people. By the early 1500s, there were two main Spanish conquerors, Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro. These two men conquered the most populous regions and rich in natural resources of the New World.
