Effects of the Colonialism in Nigeria Colonialism in Africa is one great cause for the death of cultures in Africa. Not only did it change traditions and political structures, but it was also the cause of the feudal area in Africa. In 1900 Lord Frederick Lugard established indirect rule in Nigeria. During the late part of the 19th century, most of Africa's continent came under political control of European powers. In Nigeria, things were no different and by 1905 the British had established rule over all of present-day Nigeria.
With the right ruler, who had ambition and had order, these states were able to grow in kingdoms such Ghana, Kongo, and Mali. After the fall of Mali, the Songhay Empire became the dominant power of Africa. It was in power for awhile until they were attacked by Moroccan soldiers. When the empire fell, city-states and small kingdoms grew. There was also the Kingdom of Kongo.
The British colonized the New World in the 1580s. In the late fifteenth century, a few distinctive civilizations came together to shape the Atlantic World. The initial civilization consisted of the Native Americans who occupied North America. The Native Americans voyaged from Asia, presumably over the Bering Strait, and ultimately progressed into numerous civilizations with distinctive verbal communications. The natives had various
Ponce De Leon continued down the coast of Florida until he arrived at an island that had lots of turtles. He named the island Dry Tortugas because there was no fresh water on the island, and Tortugas means turtle in Spanish. Continuing up the west coast of Florida, Ponce De Leon entered the Charlotte Harbor area. As he and his men explored inland for wood and fresh water, they saw the Calusa tribal village at Mound Key. They discovered that the Calusa were an unfriendly
Journal 1 By Aryan Study Guide PAGE 88 Comprehension 1 Cabeza De Vaca was a Spanish nobleman who set out on an expedition to the Gulf Coast in the 16th century. His sparkling career was cut short when his ships got wrecked off the coast of present day Texas and he found himself enslaved by the Han and Capoque clans of the Karankawa Indians. This passage talks about how he survived among the Native American groups and the skills and strategies he used to fit in. The first thing that Cabeza De Vaca did to assimilate with the Native American culture was to learn their language. This was a pivotal step because without being able to express himself he would never have been able to free himself from slavery.
Runaway slaves were very common, slaves killing slave masters; and slavery as an established legitimate institution was cracking at its base. White people realized that most black people and mulattoes would prefer to return to their African motherland than to live in servitude. Thus in 1821 the American Colonization Society bought a large piece of land (43,000 sq. miles, almost half the entire new country) in the west coast of Africa "Cape Mesurado". The site then was called Grain Coast by the Portuguese because of its valuable crop called "Pepper."
So in 1482 the Portuguese built a built a fort at Elmina [the mine] to protect their trade and they then spread across the Gold Coast. The Portuguese enjoyed a monopoly for nearly 100 years. Europeans are attracted. English, Dutch, Sweedes and Danes all wanted to share opportunities offered. African Solution: indigenous slavery.
As early as the beginning of the 16th Century, French expeditions to the New World had already begun. They hoped to settle in Brazil and Florida but the Spanish quickly booted them out of those regions. France also hoped to seek territory in the Americas for a place that certain religious groups could settle. In 1562, Jean Ribault and 150 Protestants from Normandy were finally able to establish a settlement on Parris Island in South Carolina. However, when the colony failed, other French expeditions settled further south in Florida and made friendly ties with the local Indians.
It also shows the paintings, sculptures, inscriptions, plans, physical expression, religion, and power during that time. Although the Great Mayan cities were abandoned, the Mayans continued to develop in North Yucatan, east coast of the peninsula, and the Guatemala high lands. There are multiple theories as to why the Maya abandoned some of their greatest cities. The sudden and mysterious collapse may have been from a blend of many factors including, possible population growth, pressure of resources, over exploitation of the land, or even foreign invasions. Foreign invasion of the Spanish conquistadors began in 1441.
