Answer:

The European colonization of America began with the Vikings, who, as the first known Europeans, came into contact with America and established several colonies.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus reached America, after which European exploration and colonization gained momentum. The first conquests were made by Spain, which quickly conquered most of South and Central America and much of North America. Portugal took Brazil. Britain, France and the Netherlands conquered islands in the Caribbean, many of which had already been conquered by Spain or had been affected by disease. Early European colonies in North America included Spanish Florida, the British settlements in Virginia and New England, French settlements in Quebec and Louisiana, and Dutch settlements in New Netherlands.

Embargo Act of 1807

The Embargo Act of 1807 was a general trade embargo on all foreign nations that was enacted by the United States Congress. During the Napoleonic Wars, rival nations Britain and France targeted neutral American shipping as a means to disrupt the trade of the other nation. At Jefferson's request, the two houses of Congress considered and passed the Embargo Act quickly in December 1807. All U.S. ports were closed to export shipping in either U.S. or foreign vessels, and restrictions were placed on imports from Great Britain. American president Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican Party) led Congress to pass the Embargo Act of 1807. Effects on American shipping and markets: Agricultural prices and earnings fell. Shipping-related industries were devastated. What was unusual about the Embargo Act of 1807? It stopped all American vessels from sailing to foreign ports— amazing use of federal power, especially by a president who wanted to avoid that and foreign entanglements. The diplomatic neutrality of the United States was tested during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). The warring nations of Britain and France both imposed trade restrictions in order to weaken each other's economies. These restrictions also disrupted American trade and threatened American neutrality. In the last sixteen days of President Thomas Jefferson's presidency, Congress replaced the Embargo Act of 1807 with the almost unenforceable Non-Intercourse Act of March 1809. This Act lifted all embargoes on American shipping except for those bound for British or French ports.

Not sure how to answer this but hope this helps!

Specifically The three major religions in Europe are Christianity, unaffiliated and Islam.
Overall in Europe 47 percent of Christians are Roman Catholic, 18 percent are Protestants, and 35 percent are Orthodox (Rubenstein 2019, p. 140). Christianity is the most popular religion in Europe because of the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church. Europe was one of the first places the followers of Jesus traveled to spread his views.
They built churches and converted kings and emperors to these beliefs (Medievalists.net 2015).
