Answer:
Between 1492 and 1504, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus led four Spanish-based transatlantic maritime expeditions to the Americas. These voyages led to the widespread knowledge of the New World. This breakthrough inaugurated the period known as the Age of Discovery, which saw the colonization of the Americas, a related biological exchange, and trans-Atlantic trade. These events, the effects and consequences of which persist to the present, are sometimes cited as the beginning of the modern era.
Explanation:
Born in the Republic of Genoa, Columbus was a navigator who sailed for the Crown of Castile (a predecessor to the modern Kingdom of Spain) in search of a westward route to the Indies, thought to be the East Asian source of spices and other precious oriental goods obtainable only through arduous overland routes. Columbus was partly inspired by 13th-century Italian explorer Marco Polo in his ambition to explore Asia and never admitted his failure in this, incessantly claiming and pointing to supposed evidence that he had reached the East Indies. Ever since, the islands of the Caribbean have been referred to as the West Indies.
At the time of Columbus's voyages, the Americas were inhabited by Indigenous Americans. Soon after first contact, Eurasian diseases such as smallpox began to devastate the indigenous populations, which had no immunity to them. Columbus participated in the beginning of the Spanish conquest of the Native Americans, including by enslaving and brutally treating groups of them in the range of thousands. The exact figures and accuracy of some of the accounts of these events are still debated, in part due to an alleged historiographical disinformation campaign.
Following Columbus's death, in 1507, the Americas were named after Amerigo Vespucci, who realized that these continents were a unique landmass. The search for a westward route to Asia was completed in 1521, when the Castilian Magellan-Elcano expedition sailed across the Pacific and reached Southeast Asia, before returning to Europe and completing the first circumnavigation of the world.
During the 1950s, an increase in the number of marriages and births fueled a demand for housing.
People who was born in the 1950s were known as the baby boomers. The increasing number of marrieages and births in population of post-World War II led to an increase in the demand for housing and gave rise to higher density cities.
By the 1970s, the United States economy had grown by leaps and bounds and was by far the largest economy in the world.
Answer:
A lot of people wonder how racism affected colored people and how their treatment is different. Well, colored people were always on the poor end of the stick they worked in factories and plantations and were always in debt. They were beaten and bruised if they didn't follow an order by their "master". Colored women could be raped or abused badly. After a while things did get a little better but everything was seperated by race. Brown vs. Board allowed colored kids to finally go to school and learn to read and write and the North became a place of freedom and regular human rights for all no matter the race. Mr. Luther King Jr. fought for normal human rights through peace with the general public and from then on everything changed and now we're here today where everyone has equal rights no matter your race
