Colonization :: American America History

ColonizationDuring the early years of colonization and geographic expedition in North America and Africa, many New World collided and brought to to each one other many new things, both good and bad. There were exchanges of ideas, products and crops that greatly advanced the cultures of all involved, but on the other hand, new diseases, and uncut treatment of one another were also extradite. Before the arrival of the europiumans to present day United States, the inherent Americans treated their homeland with respect and with uncanny properties. Occasionally they burned sections of land in the wilderness for better lookup area, but other than that they provided no threat to its well being. This all changed when the European settlers arrived. The Europeans believed that humans had domination over the land. By building huge colonies, abundant road systems and for other technological advances, the colonizers greatly changed the face of our nation. Another conflict on both the Na tive Americans and the Europeans was the sharing of native crops to each other. The Europeans brought sticker from the New World, tobacco, maize, beans, tomatoes, and potatoes, which provided food for the now greatly populated Europe. Other crops that were brought to Europe included blueberry, cranberry, papaya, wild rice, and pumpkin. In exchange for these great new crops the Europeans brought considerable amounts of pigs, cattle, and horses. The horse highly effected the lives of the Native Americans by improving their run abilities. Another crop that did exceptionally well in the tropical mood of the Caribbean was the sugar cane brought over by Columbus. Not all things change were beneficial, however. Europeans unknowingly brought with them many diseases that eventually plagues the Native Americans. Small pox, yellow fever, and malaria were close to of the devastating diseases carried into the New World. Native Americans did also transfer the sexually genetical disease of s yphilis to the Europeans who had never experienced this before. Also, the ill treatment of the Native Americans by the land hungry Europeans virtually wiped out their civilization. Although at propagation they waged wars that would temporarily halt the European colonization, for the most part their voice in North America was forever muzzled. During the European exploration of Africa, similar events occurred. Europeans brought the crops of maize, manioc, and clean potatoes, which they had received, from the Native Americans, to Africa. These crops fed the great increase of population that was occurring in Africa at the time.
