After reading three different articles on King Philip’s War, including a Wikipedia article, the articles were all comparable for the most part. All of the articles described why the tensions between the colonists and the Indians began. The tensions began because of the Wampanoag’s dependence upon English manufactured goods that led to increased land sales. The increased land sales created tension and resentment among the Indians toward the colonists.2 The articles showed the two parties battling each other with heavy colonial causalities at the beginning of the war. As the war progressed, the articles agree that the colonists used their sea power and trading power among other towns to wear down the Indians and win the war.
on the other hand, British Indirect rule was a system where external military and tax control was operated by the British, while almost every other aspect of life was left to local pre-colonial aristocracies who had sided with the British during the conquest. The first two wars, known in America as King William's War and Queen Anne's War, pitted British colonials against French and their Indian allies. King William’s War turned partly on competition for the fur trade. The war played out in a series of costly but inconclusive skirmishes. Queen Anne’s War (1702–1713) was fought to determine who would be the Spanish monarch.
Through this, they were able to win the trust of many native populations through protecting them from the extremes upon which quite a number of the Spanish civilians were leaning toward. During this time, the church's organization was split into two varied branches. There is evidence that indigenous peoples authored many codices, but the Spaniards destroyed most of them in their attempt to eradicate ancient beliefs. Moreover, we have very little sense of how their production was shaped by interaction with the Spaniards, since the fourth Mexica King Itzcoatl apparently destroyed most earlier manuscripts during his reign from 1426-1440 to preserve his vision of how he constructed the Mexica empire. Therefore, during the Mexico’s colonial era, the lay
Spain’s conquest of the New World was strictly by force. Spain’s chief opponents in their conquest of America were natives with much less advanced technology who had never seen a modern army. Because of this, Spain could easily trounce the Aztecs and Incas with small expeditions. This was very different from Russia’s expansion because Russia had to defeat nations with modern, well equipped armies. Also, Russia expanded directly from its center to the area surrounding it, allowing its conquering armies to be well supplied and manned, because they were close to home Contrary, Spain was forced to send all its supplies and men in ships on long journeys across the Atlantic, significantly reducing the amount of soldiers Spain had in the New World.
This establishment quickly collapsed and the first permanent English colony of Jamestown was established 20 years later in 1607. With over a 100 year head start on England it would make sense that Spain capitalized the most on the New World; however it is quite the opposite. The differences in the colonization process helped England capitalize more by giving them the resources needed to bring them into the Industrial Revolution, and led Spain into a period of decline. There are many differences in how England and Spain colonized the new world. These differences include; the location of the colonized land, the treatment and relationship of the natives, reason for colonization, and the capitalization of the natural resources.
As a result of European settlement, many populations of Native Americans were brought to near extinction. The hunger for a new and free word had blinded Europeans’ humanity towards the Native Americans that had lived in these lands for hundreds of years from the Atlantic to the Pacific in harmony and respect of their lands. The discovery of gold was of the most important factors that promoted violence against the Native Americans. When gold was discovered in California in 1848 it initiated a large amount of migrant traffic across the North American continent. This large influx of Americans brought more diseases to the Native Americans that devastated their tribes with great number of deaths.
For centuries, explorers from different nations ventured to North America in hopes of finding gold or civilization. Since nothing of great importance was found, overseas exploration during the first half of the 16th century was inhibited. After a few attempts at colonization in America, England became the first to create a successful colony in 1607, known as Jamestown. Many English colonies began to form after that point as a result of the success of Jamestown. Since England owned these particular areas of the New World, these colonies were very influenced and affected by their mother country.
Initially, small tribes greeted them and bestowed them with gifts, and Cortes even acquired a translator named Malinche who would play a crucial role in the downfall of her own people. As the Spaniards moved further inland towards the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, they encountered larger groups of Indians, but there was little to no resistance. The question has often been discussed of why the Aztecs did not attack the Spaniards at this point. Cortes and his men were an obvious threat, and the Aztecs could have easily raised an army that would have far outnumbered Cortes’ 500 soldiers. The answer is that the
In the 1500s, the Spanish arrived in the New World with the intent to convert natives to Catholicism, trade, and discover riches. Juan de Onate, one of these explorers, killed thousands of natives in order to gain fame and wealth. The Spanish and Indians also developed the Columbian Exchange; a trade of goods, livestock, and crops, which was beneficial to both sides as it brought new items to both groups. Most of the products that the Spanish gave to the natives brought diseases that the Indians had no immunity to. Cortez even intentionally gave out
The studying of the relationship between whites and blacks during their exploitation by wealthy planter elites can explain the evolution of racism in American society. The Seventeenth century was an era were race played little significance, were the pursuit of economic wealth by colonial elites was valued above everything else, and a colour blind policy was adopted towards exploitation. The most convenient place to study the evolution of racism is the plantation society in early Virginia. The English presence on American soil was first seen with the Jamestown settlement of 16072. The high hopes of land filled with gold were soon dashed by the confrontation of hostile indigenous Indians and constant experiences of starvation by the settlers.
