The document discusses the history of European colonization and its consequences. It states that as resources in Europe became depleted and populations grew, European powers like England, France, Portugal and Spain sought to colonize other lands like America for new opportunities. However, the colonization had devastating impacts, resulting in the genocide and enslavement of native populations like the Native Americans. The colonists also brought African slaves to work, especially after native Americans often died in slavery. The document describes colonialism as a violent process that destroyed indigenous groups through death, slavery, and forced relocation to make way for European expansion.
2. One reason many European countries colonized other
lands and .people 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 America, for example,
English ,French, Portuguese, and Spanish
colonists were able to have new land and
opportunities, but in the process million of
Native Americans were killed, enslaved,
intermarried or forced to leave their land.
5. Indeed, the European colonization of the
America was perhaps the bloodiest and
most horrific time in human history.
6. Beside the genocide of native american,European
colonists brought African slaves to the America to
work, especially after finding out that native
americans would just die in slavery.
7. Man, who you are never seen before, come to your
house and your neighbors house and they all have
as much weapon 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 man' s superior weapons.
10. And soon, you and most of 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, it is
slavery; it is the end of one group and the
expansion of another group.
