Was European Exploration good or bad for the world? BQ96d
European exploration was an era in history when great powers in the Old World began to explore the world for various causes. Today, we can see some of the benefits of European exploration. However, in my opinion it is bad for the world
This is the main reason why many died during the age of exploration.
During the period where Vasco De Gama finds a route to India to find spices, he kills a large number of Muslims.
While the age of exploration was happening, European explorers also brought smallpox and measles to the New World, causing more than 80% of the Native people to become sick and die due to a lack of medication and treatment options
Another reason was suicide, the people who was enslaved they was depressed, pressure when the enslaver force them to working, finding for gold, If they disobey the other they will get killed or tortured for a long period of time. Also another reasons where the explorers want to expand their land which led to a war between the native and the explorers, this also kills a lot of native because advanced weapons
Another reason why European Exploration was bad is because of the slave trades. During the European exploration of the Americas, the major slave trading regions were on the west coast of Africa, 10 to 12 million slaves were brought to the New World. The slaves arrived in boats full of shackled people. There wasn't enough food on the ships, and their mission in the Americas was to produce and harvest crops as well as find gold
The slave trading problem was start when Christopher Columbus use Taino people as slave, he is concerned that if he does not bring back enough gold on the trip back to Spain, he will be punished, so he sold the Taino people as slaves for gold.
The Aztec and Inca civilizations were both destroyed during the era of discovery. The native people's freedoms were taken away by the Spanish adventurer Hernan Cortez. He attempted to make friends with the Aztecs but ended up destroying them.
Herman Cortes defeated Tenochtitlan in 1521 with the help of 100 sailors, 11 ships, 508 troops, and 16 horses.
Incas are also eliminated by another Spanish explorer, Francisco Pizarro, who introduces diseases to the Incas, killing Huayna Capac, the Inca Emperor, in an epidemic. With his army, Pizzaro overthrows the Inca civilization. .
