<u>Explain the impact of cultural diffusion on African civilizations during the classical period</u>
During the New Imperialism times, many colonies were being settled on Africa. In search of land, expedition, and resources, the settlers had to adapt to a new environment and society quite different from them. Nevertheless, in their efforts of adaptation, their own culture was the one trying to overshadow the natives' culture.
Africa was almost falling under total dominion of the European countries. The Africans had to adapt to the Europeans' orders, as their tribes were segregated and a new culture was trying to be implemented on the natives, as the Europeans deemed their culture as superior. They tried to teach children about poetry, non-Christians about Christianity, and farmers about growing crops with different methods. They also taught them about politics, history and traditions about the settlers' culture.
However, the settlers (Britain, Spain, France, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, and Italy) exercised their power differently, there were some that attempted to suppress the natives' cultures (French), while others were focused on the gain from the colonies (Germans, Belgians) or others who were not able to fully develop their colonies (Portuguese, Spanish).
Hiram Bingham, an American archaeologist, discovered Machu Picchu in 1911. When exploring Peru, actually looking for Vilcabamba, a farmer told him about ruins called "Old Mountain."
Answer: The explanation is the answer too.
Explanation: The religion and the government of the Maya were connected because religion was interlaced into all sides of everyday life and was the main uniting aspect of civilization. They performed human sacrifice and would usually attack other communities to get victims.
Competition over land led to larger military force and alliances.
Imperialism caused European countries to compete for land, resources, and markets. To protect your new empire, a country needed a large military and/or alliances to defend the empire. The alliance system and large military forces are to blame for the war becoming a world war.
