History
1 answer:
sergiy2304 [10]3 years ago
4 0
Around 1750, the British mainland American colonies had a population of approximately 1.5 million. In addition to settlers from Great Britain, a steady stream of German immigrants began to arrive in the late 1600s and reached its peak between 1749 and 1754, when more than 5,000 Germans arrived annually. Each year 3,500 black captives arrived from Africa or the Caribbean. Nearly 1 in 5 Americans, or 300,000 people, were enslaved. Poverty in Northern Ireland forced a massive flight of Scots-Irish to the colonies.

"identify one cause and one effect of spanish settlement in north america"
geniusboy [140]

The main cause of the Spanish settlement in North America was that Christopher Columbus, an Italian who discovered America, was financed and controlled by Spain who wanted to build a colonial empire. The effect was the beginning of many wars, first against the Indians living on the spot, and then against other Europeans, especially English and French, who were also seeking to colonize these far lands.

<h3>Further information</h3>

The Spaniards were the first Europeans to colonize the American continent. They settled mainly in the south of the United States, on the lands of Texas, Florida or South Carolina. The other major European countries were mainly present in the North. The main reason for the settlement of the Spanish in this territory was the appetite for the immense wealth, such as for textile, spices or precious stones. It was for this purpose that Queen Isabella financed Christopher Columbus's trip, gave him only one-tenth of all he could discover, all the rest should have been the property of the Kingdom of Spain.

This settlement in North America was unfortunately made in violence and war. In Florida, the French and the English did not accept that this territory returns to the Spaniards and did not stop attacking them during the 18th century. The Indians also took part in these wars because they were the first inhabitants, so they fought to defend against the invasion and because the English concluded alliances and pushed them to attack their Spanish enemies.
