How did the Europe colonization of the Americas end up affecting the populations of three different continents?

History
1 answer:
DaniilM [7]3 years ago

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).

1. How does economic growth contribute to urbanization? (1 point)
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The answer is: "People move to growing cities to take available jobs."

Explanation:

In order to know the answer, it is best to learn what<u> "urbanization" </u>means.

Urbanization- This word is defined as the process of making an area more urban (town or city). An area becomes more urbanized when there is a population increase. They are directly proportional to each other. The higher the number of people going to one area, the more likely the area becomes urbanized.

A population increase means more people need to look for more jobs. <u>So, they move to a place where they can easily find a job. This is the reason why they move to growing cities. </u>This affects the growth of the economy.

<u>Economic growth</u> means there's an increase in the value of goods and services being produced by an economy over time.
