Question

Was the virtual destruction of Native American culture and hegemony (power) inevitable (unavoidable)? Could the European world and the American world have coexisted even up to the modern day without the destruction of the technologically-inferior side? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: It was not possible at that time.

Explanation:

The historical circumstances are clear. Europeans inhabited North America primarily because of the country. As colonization intensified, more and more land was needed for the needs of the Europeans. In such circumstances, the Europeans expanded their settlements at the expense of the natives. Therefore, a conflict had to occur. In wars throughout history, one side lost its cultural identity, as was the case with the natives of North America. Europeans were also accustomed to constant wars, so war was the standard social and political pattern of Europeans. And from the religious understanding of the time, the war was inevitable. The first European settlers, the Puritans, considered it a sacred duty to deal with "savages" and infidels.
