The European age of exploration completed change the world for the next 500 years. The new world was discovered by European powers, resulting in complete cultural, religious and political shifts in the Western hemisphere.
Europe itself was successful in the early penetation of the New World and later by building trade links and colonies all over the world including, South Asia, South East Asia, Africa, Near East, Middle East and Australia.
They were able to develop a huge slave trade, which gave them the money and power to expand beyound Europe.
However, they were least successful against great powers like Russia and could not maintain control over the New World for long.
These are the problems I found: Congress could not regulate trade. No uniform system of currency. No power of taxation. How did the constitution fix the weaknesses of the articles of confederation? The Constitution fixed the weaknesses by allowing the central government certain powers/rights. Congress now has the right to levy taxes. Congress has the ability to regulate trade between states and other countries.
