How did the discovery of the Americas affect the people of Africa

Well, once the Americas were discovered and the colonist found that the soil was agreeable to grow different crops such as tobacco and cotton the colonists realized that they needed people to pick the crops. Originally indentured servants did the hard labor but then when they found that they could get labor by trading goods with African tribal leaders they resorted to importing Africans to the Americas as labor. The tribes in Africa were constantly fighting and whichever side won the losers became the slaves of the winning tribe. However, as Europeans brought valuable things to the continent of Africa such as weapons, salt, gold, and other things the leaders of the winning tribe would give their slaves to the Europeans. There were cases when Blacks captured other Blacks in Africa for the sole purpose of giving them to the European traders. Hopefully this helps. If you haven't see the movie La Amistad, it will explain in more detail what I have written. I learned a lot from that movie. I must warn you the first 5 to 10 minutes are a bit gory. I had a hard time watching that part.

8)Trace how the French gained control of Vietnam.

DedPeter [7]

The French invasion of Vietnam was very gradual and it was going on step by step for quite some time. Initially, France was sending missionaries in Vietnam in order to spread the religion and culture of France in order to set basis for further actions. The missionaries indeed had very large influence, but came to a big resistance by the local courtesans who had feared for their status in the society if the French missionaries continued their work.

That led to some tensions and an attempt to banish the missionaries, but the French intervened with their military and stopped that. Since that initial military conflict, the French started to invade Vietnam. It was a step by step invasion, where the French would have invaded a city, than another city, maybe lose some afterwards, but than return and reclaim it, and that went on for some time until the French managed to totally outmaneuver the Vietnamese and gain control over their territory.
