Colonial History notes,part2
Genocide:the deliberate and
systematic extermination of a national,
racial,political, or cultural group
. Natural Resources:the natural
wealth of a country, consisting of land,
forests,mineral deposits, water, etc.

2. One reason many European countries colonized
other lands and peoples is because many
European countries were running out of natural
resources

3. In Europe by the 1500's and on, there was much
deforestation and poverty, and the population was
becoming too great for the land and government to
handle.

4. By colonizing the Americas, for example, English,
French, Portuguese, and Spanish colonists were
able to have new lands and opportunities, but the in
the process millions of Native American were killed,
enslaved, intermarried,or forced to leave their land

5. Indeed, the European colonization of the Americas
was perhaps the bloodiest and most horrific time in
human history

6. Besides the genocide of the Native Americans,
European colonist brought slaves to the Americas to
work, especially after finding out that Native
Americans would just die in slavery.

7. Image this: men, who you've never seen before,
come to your house and your neighbors house and
they all have as much weapons as they can carry

8. Then they start killing or enslaving you, your
family and your neighbors

9. And you and your family and your neighbors
fight back but are crushed by the men's suprior
weapons

10. And soon, you and your family and your
neighbors are gone[killed],enslaved,
intermarried, or forced to live somewhere else.

11. This is what colonialism is: it is death slavery, it
is the end of one group and the expansion of
another group
