You receive a message in a bottle from a tropical island. It’s a page torn from a ship’s log. The document is a little water sta

ined here and there, but you can read most of it. It's a log entry about people trading peacefully. At first glance, nothing seems to be wrong.
But along with the page, there’s another note from people who live on the island. They want to know more about this so-called admiral who visited their island. They have several questions about this log entry.

Now, read this passage from Christopher Columbus’s account for more information about the admiral’s visit:

At two o'clock in the morning the land was discovered . . . [We] saw trees very green, many streams of water, and diverse sorts of fruits. The Admiral called upon the two Captains, and the rest of the crew who landed to bear witness that he before all others took possession (as in fact he did) of that island for the King and Queen his sovereigns . . . Numbers of the people of the island straightway collected together. Here follow the precise words of the Admiral: "As I saw that they were very friendly to us, and perceived that they could be much more easily converted to our holy faith by gentle means than by force, I presented them with some red caps, and strings of beads to wear upon the neck, and many other trifles of small value, where with they were much delighted . . . Afterwards they came swimming to the boats, bringing parrots, balls of cotton thread, javelins, and many other things which they exchanged for articles we gave them, such as glass beads, and hawk's bells; which trade was carried on with the utmost good will.”

[Source: The Log of Christopher Columbus]

Now, think about the event as you read these secondary sources about exploration in the New World:

Age of Discovery

Age of Exploration

You will write a letter to the people of the island explaining who visited them and why. To prepare for that task, think about cause and effect. What was the main cause for Columbus’s journey? What were two short-term effects? Two long-term effects? You can use the outline format below to help organize your thoughts.

Impressions of Christopher Columbus changed? Why or why not? Explain in a paragraph (5-8 sentences)
Degger [83]
Okay this is just yk probably bad idk but

Christopher Columbus was once someone that everyone honored and everyone believed to be the founder of a beloved nation, America. Due to new ideas and knowledge, people’s perspective of Columbus has caused many differences in whether he should even be honored. Many believed that because he didn’t actually find America because Natives were already there and because Amerigo Vespucci was the first European to find it, we shouldn’t have a day dedicated to him. To support this, people also say that because he raped many Native women, assaulted and treated Natives poorly. There are many open discussions about whether he deserves a day for him or even if he’s a good person. Many who once thought he was a great person for “finding America”, now think he is an evil person because of what he did and should not be honored.

baherus [9]
The Vietnam war was in favour of the Northern revolutionary forces. Just after the war, a peace treaty was signed which allows a government to be initiated in the Southern Vietnam, to find out that it has become a puppet government of the North, therefore, Vietnam remained to be a communist state.
