thinking about colonizing South America because they are having some hardships. In the mid 1800s, Europe colonized Africa and it created many different negative conflicts. The US government would not want this to happen if they were to take over South America. So as a result, South America should not be colonized because multiple people were killed for resisting and countless people were taken for slavery. The US right now, has a good relationship with South America. If the government tries

The Use of the Genus Virola as a Hallucinogen In South America Virola theiodora (Spr. ex Benth.) Warburg is one of many species of Virola used in the Amazon region as a hallucinogenic snuff.

in South America are struggling right now and the United States are considering colonizing them. Colonizing South America could help the United States and South America in some ways, but can also hurt them in many others. In the 1870's, European countries colonized Africa, and although it helped Europe in some ways, it hurt both of them in many other. Americans need to take time to think about what is best for the U.S. so they can see the many problems that come with colonizing South America. The
The conquest of Mexico began when Hernando Cortes first arrived in South America. When he started his first movement of the conquest, some people looked at him as a great leader or a God and others saw him as a simple man. His conquest brought the Spaniards and Indians happiness and sorrow at the same time. The differences between the Spaniards and the Indian accounts were vast and varied from writer to writer, for a man's deeds could be bad and good. The differences that the reader encounters
the year 2030, the United States wants to colonize South America. The United States should not colonize South America because citizens will lose their traditional cultures, suffer an increase of diseases, and will be harmed by the American rule. People in America should not let history repeat itself and leave South America alone. First of all, traditional culture plays a big role in every person's life and if the United States enter South America their traditional culture may be injured. For instance
know that South Africa and America are very different countries, but really how different are they? Sure they have different traditions and cuisines, but lets see what things they have in common. Let’s take cuisines for example, very different food but do they use a lot of the same ingredients or do they cook it the same?

Sponsored by the crown, conquistadors set out to find gold and glory, as well as to convert the natives to Christianity. They conquered and created sprawling settlements in South America and the bottom edge of North America. Although mighty, the Spanish explorers and settlers were still governed by the laws of Spain
I believe many of the motivators for the Europeans to move to and colonize North and South America was due to material gain and religious freedom. First I would like to talk about several of the material gains that were either made or expected to be made in the move to explore North and South America's. When the plans were being set out for the new colonies and the different propels that were laid out some of the ideas that were look at heavily were the material gains. One gain was the level of
In 1948 the National Party took power of South Africa. The all-white minority government began enforcing already existing laws that encouraged segregation and separatism in the non-white majority country. Under these new sanctions apartheid, which literally means a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race, non-whites would be forced to not only go to separate public facilities but would later be force to live on separate lands similar to that of the Native Americans in
killed hundreds of Africans. The Europeans made the environment bad for the people. If America colonize South America, the same incidents might happen to them. America might even start a fight between South America. America should not colonize South America because the natives will not have freedom, trades may interfere, and a cultural division could happen. If America took over South America, some of the people's freedom will be different or taken away. In the article “Imperialism”
He was part of many expeditions in the new world including one with Balboa. Pizarro fought against many hostile tribes in Panama and when news of Hernando Cortez’ success in Mexico reached Pizarro, he set off to South America in hope of gold. He led many expeditions into South America. Most were unsuccessful because they met many hostile tribes and he didn’t have enough men. He went back to Panama many times to ask for reinforcements. The governor of Panama gave him men and supplies in exchange
colonize struggling countries in South America. The US should not colonize these countries that are being considered struggling in South America because a sustainable lifestyle is able to obtain while living there that they do not need our "help" to survive. Also, a problem could arise between two countries or even multiple countries such as racism or even pollution during this colonization process. The US should not colonize struggling countries in South America

was once connected, animals could have walked across the large land mass and not have to swim. For example, the mesosauras (a land animal) could not have traveled from South America to Africa because of the Atlantic Ocean. Yet, there are fossils of this animal on both continents.
