What was the impact of exploration on Africa and Asia

History
1 answer:
taurus [48]3 years ago
4 0

The record of European expansion contains pages as grim as any in history. The African slave trade—begun by the Africans and the Arabs and turned into a profitable seaborne enterprise by the Portuguese, Dutch, and English—is a series of horrors, from the rounding up of the slaves by local chieftains in Africa, through their transportation across the Atlantic, to their sale in the Indies.

American settlers virtually exterminated the native population east of the Mississippi. There were, of course,
exceptions to this bloody rule. In New England missionaries like John Eliot (1604-1690) did set up little bands of “praying Indians,” and in Pennsylvania relations between the Quakers and Native Americans were excellent. Yet the European diseases, which could not be controlled, together with alcohol, did more to exterminate the Native Americans than did fire and sword.

Seen in terms of economics, however, the expansion of Europe in early modern times was more complex than simple “exploitation” and “plundering.” There was, in dealing with the native populations, much giving of “gifts” of nominal value in exchange for land and goods of great value. The almost universally applied mercantilist policy kept money and manufacturing in the home country. It relegated the colonies to producing raw materials—a role that tended to keep colonies of settlement relatively primitive and economically dependent.

Question 7 the bargain of 1877:

E--led to a southerner being named postmaster general. 

The Compromise of 1877 came as the 1876 election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden became heated, violent, and then too close to call. To avoid a drawn out election process, Republicans approached Democrats with a deal--Hayes wins the election, Reconstruction ends in the South, a leading Democrat named in Hayes' cabinet, and approval of federal funding for a railroad line in Texas. Hayes is named president and he follows through with removal of troops from the South and naming a southerner to the cabinet as Postmaster General.

frutty [35]

Answer:

Ghana gained independence peacefully, while Kenya and Algeria had to fight violently before gaining independence.

Explanation:

While Kenya became independent in 1963, it was through series of violence from the Mau Mau against the British. Similarly, Algeria had to fight violently against French rule before gaining independence in 1962.

The above is in contrast to Ghana who gained independence peacefully from British rule in 1957.

Hence, The key difference between the experience of Ghana's independence and that of Kenya and Algeria is that "Ghana gained independence peacefully, while Kenya and Algeria had to fight violently before gaining independence."
