How did the columbian exchange both benefit and harm europeans and native americans?

Native americans were heavily harmed by europeans because of the amount of diseases they brought into the americas and their lack of personal hygiene contributing to such, along with this, the later emersion of social darwinism/racism being traded through to north america paid a harder price onto them as it “justified” the abhorrent acts of both the past and the present. Europeans also had syphilis spread onto them in bigger numbers because again, their lack of personal hygiene. The only real benefits they got were vegetables/crops/fruits and other food items being traded between the continents.

Native Americans: Vulnerable

  • Indigenous peoples were in smaller societies, and for them to see someone who was more “advanced” in technology within them, they were astonished and trustful of europeans as a psychological response.

  • In north america, there was no concept of land ownership

  • Disunion between tribes, no strict political structure (north america)

  • Iroquois are always the exception in these stories

Motives

God

  • The Three G’s, God, Gold, and Glory, the main motivations for Europeans in exploration

  • Henry the 8th married 6 wives because he wanted a male heir, however, Catholicism denies divorces, so he left Catholicism and joined the Anglican Church in 1534 making England a Protestant country

  • Martin Luther created the 95 Theses on October 31, 1517, to complain about the Catholic Church

    Gold (The Rise of Nation-States and Mercantilism)

    • There was a rise of countries, like England, France, and Spain as opposed to kingdoms, and they all wanted wealth in the form of gold from their colonies

    • Mercantilism is the economic theory of having a finite and fixed form of wealth, knowing that there is competition to gain wealth

    Glory

    • Whoever acquires the most land and influence, is the most glorious in the world

Early Exploration

  • Usually, the Vikings, and Erikson are typically credited with exploring what is now modern-day Canada in Newfoundland

  • Marco Polo is a European explorer who published his findings and explorations in Asia and his account is a bunch of nonsense, however, his findings on wealth, spices, and resources like silk in Asia spread so far and this led to many nations wanting to explore in Asia and China.

  • Portugal had the best explorations and were the cause for West African slave trade in the future

7

Spanish Empire

  • Spain was conquered by Muslims in the Middle Ages by the North African Moors. However, centuries later, Isabella and Ferdinand successfully reconquered Southern Spain in 1492 called the Reconquista.

  • The same year, they hired Columbus to gain more land and wealth for Spain to conquer these islands to bring back resources like silver, and gold to Spain

  • To be a conquistador, you needed to be a Catholic, and you had to be loyal to the king and queen in Spain.
