Colonial History notes part 2 By Nengbin Nie

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

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

By colonizing the americans for example English French Portuguese and Spanish colonists were able to have new lands and opportunities but the in the process millions of native americans were killed enslaved intermarried or forced to leave their land

Indeed the european colonization of the americas was perhaps the bloodiest and most horrific time in human history

Besides the genocide of native americans european colonists brought african slaves to the americas to work especially after finding out that native americans would just die in slavery

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

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

And you and your family and your NEIGHBOR FIGHT BACK BUT ARE CRUSHED BY THE MENS superior weapons

And soon you and most of your family and your neighbors are gone -- killed enslaved intermarried or forced to live somewhere else

This is what colonialism is it is death it is slavery it is the end of one group and the expansion of another group
