Answer:

Does the author or agency that created the information have the credentials, academic background, or experience to write authoritatively about the topic?

Authors:

Google their name(s)...do they have a degree related to the topic they are addressing?

Watch out for people with degrees (MA, MS, PhD) in a field unrelated to what they are writing about. A PhD in English does not qualify someone to give medical advice, for instance.

Agencies:

Google their name...do they have a good reputation in the field they are addressing?

Are they really taking responsibility for a particular website or certain resource? In the case of websites, sometimes university web pages are "official" and sometimes they belong solely to students or staff or faculty. To learn how to tell the difference, visit our "How can I "read" a URL or website address?" answer.

How did the Europe colonization of the Americas end up affecting the populations of three different continents?
DaniilM [7]

For Europeans, the effects were mostly positive. They experienced an overpopulation problem as well as monarchic and religious tyranny and were under the constant threat of Islamic invaders. One of the main reasons why Columbus wanted to find a way other than Cape of Good Hope to get to Asia was that Ottoman Turks had blocked all access to Asian trade and travel.

The Portuguese had a monopoly on the Good Hope route and this route was actually too long. When Columbus discovered the American Continent, he thought he had actually found Asia. In any event, Europeans found a land that they could conquer and colonize, they sent all their excess of people there. They found valuable raw materials as (timber, gold, silver, iron, etc.), spices, exotic fruits and vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, avocados, etc.) and eventually used to Continent as a gateway to Asia.

For the Natives of the Americas, the effects were disastrous; most of them were wiped out by diseases unknowingly brought in by European explorers or colonizers. Several others were subjugated or even exterminated. Their most powerful empires were vanquished and conquered (Incas, Aztecs) and the land they had found several thousands of years ago became European. There were however, positive aspects in their disaster. They had access to Western civilization, science, culture and technology. They discovered Europe as much as Europe discovered them. Many of them discovered writing (many had already some form of writing but other indigenous cultures were exclusively oral). They also had access to the modern concept of nation-states (like the Five Civilized Tribes in the US).

For Black Africans, the results were mostly disastrous. They were captured or bought from other African slavers by European Slavers and suffered slavery for centuries before they were eventually integrated into society. However, they also enjoyed – though marginally -  some of the positive aspects mentioned earlier for natives of the Americas (access to Western civilization, science, culture and technology).

In the “Destroy this Brute” poster, what is represented in the background? the end of hope the United States a destroyed Europe
Charra [1.4K]
Destroyed Europe--the ape is representing Germany and he has taken a lady (representing liberty). He is stepping onto the shores of America with Europe in the background destroyed. 

This poster encourages support for US entry into World War I to protect the values of liberty in America. It suggests that Germany is made with power and will not stop with Europe but will continue to the US to destroy America as well.
