Answer: Columbus's Voyage
By: Me.
Explanation: Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who stumbled upon the Americas and whose journeys marked the beginning of centuries of transatlantic colonization.
Christopher Columbus originally wanted to find an all new water route to Asia, He was positive that he could get to Asia by sailing west on the Atlantic Ocean. This idea proved him to be very courageous due to the fact that no one has even discovered the true distance of the Ocean to the west. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain agreed to fund his voyage because they believed that if a whole new sea route was to be discovered that landed in the Indies it would help Spain have the upper hand in the competition against Portugal.
Throughout Columbus's voyage, Columbus began treating the natives very badly. This includes: enslavement, slaughtering & genocide, r..a..pe, and even starvation. Though Ferdinand and Isabella ordered that the natives be treated with the utmost kindness, Columbus looked past this little order and instead neglected the native's cultural history and identity by causing destruction on thousands of Native American families and individuals. In 1495, in a large slave raid, Columbus and his men rounded up 1,500 Arawak men, women, and children, and put them in pens. They selected what they considered the best natives and loaded them onto ships back to Spain. Two hundred died en route. Disease and death was one consequence of Columbus's voyages. Pre-Columbian America had been isolated from many infections that had swept through Asia, Europe, and much of Africa. American Indians had been spared most of the diseases common to societies that raise livestock.
When he returned to Spain in 1504 after his last voyage, Columbus was fifty-three and in poor health. Inflammation of the eyes sometimes made it impossible for him to read and he suffered agonies from what was once diagnosed as gout or arthritis but is now suspected to have been something called Reiter's syndrome.

America's involvement in World War II had a significant impact on the economy and workforce of the United States. The United States was still recovering from the impact of the Great Depression and the unemployment rate was hovering around 25%. Our involvement in the war soon changed that rate.
