1492 – 1734 Early Encounters

Description
-
From website: "The early colonial era is roughly defined as beginning with the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492 and ending in the early 1700s. The European colonization of the Americas changed the world forever, connecting continents that had little interaction before. For the European empires that settled on this side of the Atlantic, the colonies brought some hardship but plenty of opportunity for trade and wealth. But the Indigenous communities across North and South America faced horrendous impacts on their population and lifestyles, as did the enslaved Africans who were forcibly taken to work in the European settlements in the Americas."
