Destructive progress would be a great way to describe Columbus’s role in discovering the New World. Only now can we have a proper perspective, five hundred years later after Columbus first stepped in the New World, towards his legacy.

Columbus discovery of the New World opened up new route for wealth and expenditure for European States, yet it came at the expense of Native Americans he encountered.

In 1966, the dream of flourishing democracy was diminished when a series of massacres occurred, inter-country arguments came about, and a military coup started the first of a series of military governments. As a response to this take over, the Ibo seceded and declared the independent republic of Biafra. This secession began a civil war that lasted for almost 3 years.

“The Black Death, a catastrophic epidemic of the bubonic plague that began in Constantinople in 1347, had decimated Europe, killing (according to some estimates) more than a third of the people of the continent and debilitating its already limited economy.”1 (Brinkley, 2011) Almost 150 years later, the population had recovered and with it an awakening of commerce began. With the establishment of chartered companies and a new concept of economic life, known as mercantilism, there was big interest in goods from distant lands.
