How Intertwined History Of Various Nationalities

The geographic origin of maize in South America, like Peru and Mexico. The Indian corn, known as maize was a huge food source for all the different native American groups. There advanced agricultural practices were based on the production of maize. This allowed the Indians to feed large portions of people. This caused the native Americans to become very sophisticated by the time the Europeans came, they even taught them how to grow maize. The timing of the corn in different localities explains why there are different levels of sophistication between some Native American groups and the Europeans. For example, the Aztecs society was far more advanced than the pueblos because the corn originated in South America.

The pueblos of the southwest, the Mound Builders of the Ohio valley river, and the Mississippian group of the lower midwest are examples of the trend in question one because since they knew how to grow corn, they were able to feed large groups of people. They sustained large settlements because of the maize. Overall the groups of North America used corn to help them become more sophisticated and advanced.

Europeans were able to subdue the native Americans “with relative ease” because no dense concentration of populations(advanced societies) comparable to the Aztecs existed outside of Mexico. This means that the Europeans were able to overtake the North American groups because they were not as advanced. This relates to question 1 because the timing of the corn in different localities caused this.

Factors the contributed to the conquest of Africa. One factor is the caravel, which is a ship that can travel in the wind. This helped them travel to Africa. Another factor is the printing press which allowed the spread of scientific knowledge. Also national state caused Spain to became more wealthy, unity, and powerful. This helped them have the ability to conquer Africa. Another factor is the compass which uncovered some uncertainties about the sea. The Europeans already traveled far down the African coast looking for the water route to Asia.

Spain and Portugal claimed Mexico and Central America. They also claimed most of South America such as Peru and Brazil at that time. Also Spain claimed Florida.

The Columbian exchange was a widespread exchange of culture, plants, animals, food, technology, ideas, and human populations between the old and new world.

The Columbian exchange benefited the growing population of Europe because they gained so many new food choices that they were able to feed their growing population. They got new technologies to further Europe's growth. Also it revolutionized Europe's economy and its diet.

The Columbian exchange harmed the native American population because they became enslaved and open to many new diseases/ technology. Enslavement and guns took their toll and decreased their population. They were being killed right from left by many different contributors of the new world. The Columbian exchange caused them to be moved to a different country and become enslaved. The native Americans immune system was not as advanced as the Europeans, so they also died from many diseases such as smallpox.m

The Columbian exchange benefited the native Americans by the north American Indian tribes adopted the horses that the Columbian exchange brought them, this transformed their cultures into highly mobile, wide ranging hunter society that killed bison for food. Aslo it brought seeds for sugarcanes, which thrived in the Caribbean climate. Finally the Europeans brought other organisms that helped the economy of the native Americans

The new world gold and silver had a huge impact on Europe's economies. It increased consumer cost by as much as 500%. The huge gain of money supply then fueled the uprising of capitalism. The golf and silver flourished through the banks and stimulated the manufacturing systems. Finally the gold and silver paid for the international trade with Asia.

The encomienda institution allowed the government to commend Indians to different colonist in promise to try to Christianize them. This helped establish Spanish economic authority in to U.S because they were gaining power and money.

The black legend is a legend where the conquerors tortured, butchered the Indians, sold their gold, infected them with smallpox, and left misery behind. This was a false conception even though the conquerors did enslave and kill the Indians they did create a flourishing empire.

To protect their land and establish the land the Spanish created a fortress in st Augustine. They also traveled great extincts to reach the land they desired. When they got to Mexico The Spanish cruelly abused the pueblos and were in a battle called the battle of Acoma, which led many people dead.
