the massive European exploration in North and South American was felt not only were they had explored, but internationally. From the agricultural improvements made in South Africa, to the horses brought to Argentina by the conquistadors, the European explorations transformed society and culture intercontinentally. The positive effects of the European explorations impacted the entire world; the livestock and agriculture brought back from the Americas enhanced the source of revenue for millions. The explorers
nations in the Americas. Changes in trade, technology, and demographics resulting from European exploration in the New World involved the impacts of fur trade, sugar mills, and settlement patterns and interracial marriage. Firstly, Europeans changed the game of trading by efficiently exchanging fur. The European market for fur in the first French North American colony at Nova Scotia, New France (the newly created capital of Québec), was the main source of inspiration behind the settlement of the French
2. The Spanish affected the Native American’s way of life greatly. When the Spanish went on their conquest for gold and other treasures, they discovered Native American territories. One of the very first examples was a Spanish explorer named Cortez who discovered the Aztec land. When the emperor invited Cortez to the land, Cortez acted friendly toward the people, then later attacked the people. Without an emperor, the Aztec empire fell. Another example is when Pizarro found the Incan empire, he
1.How did contact between the European arrivals and the native peoples of the Americas affect both groups? Contact between the European and the native people affected both in many ways. The European came to America and brought many diseases. This affected the native people because they had no immunity. As a result millions of people died, this caused society to weaken. The Europeans affected the natives in a positive way by introducing them to crops (such as sugar and bananas), domestic livestock
The American continent was a new place where each country could place a seed in it and develop it in their own unique way. Two great empires in the 17th century, Spain and England, both jumped on this opportunity settling two different areas two different ways, with some comparable methods. The Spanish settlements in the southwest and the Massachusetts Bay Colony in New England in the 17th century differed from one another in the way they interacted with Native Americans, and the reason for the settlement

Resulting from the European dominance in trade, exploration, and colonization, the most significant consequence of the Age of Discovery was the lasting harsh treatment of Native American and African people and the destruction of their cultures. When the knowledge that land existed on the other side of the world, opportunities for countries and people opened up. Over everything, people wanted fame and riches. Valuable resources
The Native American people often get overlooked in the founding of the original colonies, but in my opinion, they had the greatest impact upon the colonies. They were some of the first settlers in America, and effected the colonies profoundly. The Virginia Company sent 144 settlers to build a new colony in North America in late 1606. Captain John Smith built ties with the local Powhatan people and their chief, who was named Powhatan. The Powhatan provided food and means of survival during this time
Spanish settled in Mexico, modern day Southwest America (California, Texas, Arkansas, etc.), Florida, and parts of Central America. The Spanish started in the Caribbean then Central and South America. The most important thing for them was the conquest of the Aztecs by Cortex (1521) and the Incas by Pizarro (1531). From the Spanish, the Native Americans learned about new tools, how to grow food, and how to raise sheep. Many of the Native Americans converted to Catholicism and those that did not
Today, I will talk about the causes and effects of the Native Americans and the European explorers. European explorers went to america to get glory and fame. Explorers went to America for religious freedom and to escape England. They also went to the Americas because of new materials. Some wanted to escape England and some wanted to claim land for themselves. The Explorers came to the Americas in the 1500's. These explorers saw the Americas as a perfect world and opportunity as a new beginning,
he became a Spanish Conquistador and set off to the Americas on Rodrigo de Bastidas’ expedition to search for gold and pearls. They arrived and explored the coast of present day Colombia before heading to Hispaniola (modern day Haiti) for years. Balboa became an unsuccessful farmer during this time, and ended up having to stowaway on a ship in 1510 heading to San Sebastian. They discovered that it had been mostly destroyed by angry Native Americans. Therefore, he convinced others to travel southwest
