How did the Europe colonization of the Americas end up affecting the populations of three different continents?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

For Europeans, the effects were mostly positive. They experienced an overpopulation problem as well as monarchic and religious tyranny and were under the constant threat of Islamic invaders. One of the main reasons why Columbus wanted to find a way other than Cape of Good Hope to get to Asia was that Ottoman Turks had blocked all access to Asian trade and travel.

The Portuguese had a monopoly on the Good Hope route and this route was actually too long. When Columbus discovered the American Continent, he thought he had actually found Asia. In any event, Europeans found a land that they could conquer and colonize, they sent all their excess of people there. They found valuable raw materials as (timber, gold, silver, iron, etc.), spices, exotic fruits and vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, avocados, etc.) and eventually used to Continent as a gateway to Asia.

For the Natives of the Americas, the effects were disastrous; most of them were wiped out by diseases unknowingly brought in by European explorers or colonizers. Several others were subjugated or even exterminated. Their most powerful empires were vanquished and conquered (Incas, Aztecs) and the land they had found several thousands of years ago became European. There were however, positive aspects in their disaster. They had access to Western civilization, science, culture and technology. They discovered Europe as much as Europe discovered them. Many of them discovered writing (many had already some form of writing but other indigenous cultures were exclusively oral). They also had access to the modern concept of nation-states (like the Five Civilized Tribes in the US).

For Black Africans, the results were mostly disastrous. They were captured or bought from other African slavers by European Slavers and suffered slavery for centuries before they were eventually integrated into society. However, they also enjoyed – though marginally -  some of the positive aspects mentioned earlier for natives of the Americas (access to Western civilization, science, culture and technology).

An Experience Never to be ForgottenWhat experience does Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn describe in the excerpt from The Gulag Archipelago?
the experience of traveling to exotic islands
the experience of reading a novel
the experience of being arrested
the experience of being released

Answers

the experience of being arrested  

Explanation:

  • The Gulag Archipelago is an artistic and historical work on repression in the Soviet Union from 1918 to 1956, summarized on the letters, memoirs, and oral accounts of 257 prisoners, as well as on the personal experience of the author.
  • Solzhenitsyn wrote this work secretly from 1958 to 1968 (completed on June 2, 1968); the first volume was published in Paris in December 1973. Solzhenitsyn himself defined this landmark work as literary research. In a documented and publicistic manner, he presented the myriad facts of Stalinist repression.
  • Backed up by brutal evidence, they allow each reader to feel himself or herself as a Gulag slave; a guiltless, unrestricted prisoner, who is murdered night after night and subjected to sophisticated torture until he has signed a confession for his crimes.
  • An atmosphere of total terror on the one hand and all-consuming fear on the other, as if frying consciousness and giving rise to an internal protest against the inhumane system that enriches the soul of the great people on both sides of barbed wire.
