Describe why the "discovery" of America was one of the "most important events recorded in the
history of mankind," according to Adam Smith. - ANSThe discovery of America is one of the
most important events in the history of mankind. The discovery of America kick started an
interaction between continents- the American continent and Europe. It also set afoot an
exchange of commodities between the continents; "Crops new to each hemisphere crossed the
Atlantic" (1). This exchange brought about mixing of diverse cultural cuisines. Also ''the
development of American colonies brought the era of splendor and glory" (2). The discovery of
America brought hope for a better life and an end to poverty. The Europeans sought to solve the
issues of religious liberty and equality through the discovery of America. These idealistic
aspirations inspired the discovery of America. Some more examples are seen in the text, "They
searched the New World for golden cities and fountains of eternal youth" (2). In spite of its
misfortunes, the discovery of America has enough benefits to be one of the most important
events in the history of mankind.
Describe the different global economies that Europeans participated in or created during the
European age of expansion. - ANSIt created a global economy that relied on the goods of its
colonies, it got free labor from slaves and imported goods and crops from its colonies in the
Americas. Countries in Europe became wealthier and stronger as it expanded its borders. This
was called the Columbian Exchange in which the cultural and biological exchanges between the
New and Old Worlds exchange plants, animals, diseases and technology transformed European
and Native American ways of life.
One of the most striking features of Indian societies at the time of the encounter with Europeans
was their diversity. Support this statement with several examples. - ANSEach group of Native
Americans had its own political system and its own set of religious beliefs. North America was
also home to hundreds of mutually unintelligible languages. Native Americans did not see
themselves as one unified people. Each tribe had its own social structure, political structure, and
culture.
Compare and contrast European values and ways of life with those of the Indians. -
ANSuropeans believed in land and property being a source of power when owned. For Indians,
Unclaimed land remained free. Europeans also liked the accumulation of wealth and material
