Before the Europeans colonized the Americas, there were people that lived on the land. The Native Americans that inhabited these lands were not warned of the Europeans’ arrival, nor did they know that there were civilizations past the rocky shores of the Americas. To the colonists, the Americas were undiscovered lands that they intended to call their own. However, the Native Americans proved to be an obstacle in their plan. The Europeans looked down on the Native Americans and referred to them as “savages” because their society did not match their own.
Contrary to popular belief, the American Revolution did not bring about change, because the rights, class structure and government remained the status quo in the colonies. For the most part, the rights of the colonists did undergo a transformation because of the Revolutionary War. It is a widely held belief that the war was declared in defense of the natural rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately, the war did little in protecting these rights. After the war, there was still no liberty for blacks; in fact, the colonists disliked the idea of granting freedom to Blacks that they refused their offer to fight on the side of the patriots.
In spite of strong agriculture, there was no surplus for innovation. The region was again conquered, this time by the Mongols who were to say the least, a fiscal drain on the population. However, they did not really affect the local culture mainly because of their different lifestyles and religion but rather acted as absentee landlords. In “From Rus’ to Russia”, Poe shows how in the 15th century Mongol power was waning at which point, Moscow turned to Europe. The commonality of Christianity gave them ground for communication and Europe was diplomatically welcoming.
These men were not the type to do hard labor works. Men in Jamestown didn’t produce any food and depended on the food supply they brought from England, which didn’t last long. Fortunately, colonists in Jamestown got food supply from the Native there, which helped Jamestown to survive the first winter. Moreover, colonists in Jamestown also suffered from diseases. Besides, another major problem encountered by the colonists there was polluted water.
He was very important in some ways, but in some he wasn’t. He was often known as “The Father of Immunology”. This is because he has saved more lives than anyone else before him has. One way in which he wasn’t so important was that he didn’t understand the science of germs, and he didn’t know how it worked, so no more vaccines were made at that time, because no-one knew about germs and bacteria. Also, the idea was very slow to be accepted because many people such as inoculators were opposed to it because they thought they would lose business and people thought that something could go wrong or they could die, so they didn’t want to use it.
The Mayans had a writing system which was Hieroglyphics, however the Incans did not. Although the Incans did not have a written language they had a verbal language called Quechua. The Incans had a road system that transported goods and ideas, however, the Mayans did not develop a road system and it slowly declined due to slow technological advancements. The Mayans were able to record history because they had invented hieroglyphics. The Incans were not able to because they had no written language which led to the lack of knowledge about this civilization.
During early Islam they were the most intellectual and powerful area in Europe and Asia. Then during the peak of their power and intellectual reign the Khan Dynasty destroyed the center of the Community in Baghdad. From this time forward the Islamic world was in a slow descent from the top power of the time. After Baghdad was destroyed by the Khans they never again had a center of intellects again. During the crusades for instance the Europeans started buying good from the Middle East but the Middle Eastern Muslims didn’t want anything from the barbarian Europeans.
Between the Roman and middle age there was no particular progress made concerning: public health, treatments, medical knowledge, medical treatment of the sick etc. In addition any of the progress that was made by the Romans was barely used or continued. The loss of the Roman work, ideas and innovations could also be the consequence of war and movement. Most of the things the Middle age man used would have just been continuity from the Romans. Public health in the middle ages compared with the Roman times is just nonexistent for example the Roman had Aqueducts, fresh water, latrines and sewers however in the middle Ages the people would get their water, from rivers.
Many individuals in the history of the world would flee their countries of persecution from religious beliefs, and look for a better land; the Americas. Though, these individuals came into contact with natives. These Natives had already established their way of life, though it wasn’t what the colonist were seeking; so they cut them out. People now had separate stores where they could buy their goods, but still it wasn’t as convenient as they would have liked, thus Wal-Mart was created. Wal-Mart can be seen as America.
During imperialism, china remained loyal to their many traditional values. The Chinese disliked western ideas because it interfered with Confucianism. The Chinese believed that it would be best for them if they stayed with their language and religious beliefs. They also did not believe in the new technology because it went against their beliefs. Most of china’s wealth came from land so people saw no reason to expand its industries.
