In the 19th and 20th century the Europeans attempted to colonized the continent of Africa, but ended up having setbacks because of disease and lack of transportation. The year is 2030 and America is debating on if they should try to colonize South America like the Europeans did with Africa. The united states should colonize South America because the continent has a lot of valuable resources and the perfect climate for planting crops and grazing animals.
Colonizing is smart because America can acquire valuable resources from it.
From an article about colonization.“Diamond and gold were discovered in southern africa in the 1860s and 1880s. Suddenly adventurers from all parts of the world rushed in to make their fortunes” (world history patterns of interaction,2009,pg 778). Countries like South America that are struggling still have a lot of resources because they are to poor to harvest them.”marine fishers are the most important economic activity along south america's pacific coast”,national geographic,N.D., pg 2).Fish are found all over South America and are valuable in places in north America where it is hard to fish. Resources are one thing but there are

plenty of other reasons to colonize. Climate is another good reason Americans should colonize South America. Crops such as cashews, pineapple, avocados, papaya, and guava Thrive in tropical climate like in South America.This shows that South America has the perfect climate for growing crops we cannot grow in America“grazing animals such as sheep llamas and alpacas thrive in cold climates”(national geographic,N.D., pg 2).this this means that many crops that cannot be grown in America could potentially be grown in South America .Although these are good views some people do not agree with America and think they should not colonize South America. People who are against colonizing say that South America Should be left alone because we would be destroying their trees and rivers that they need to grow economically.
Trees and the Nile river help South america with its economic growth(national geographic,N.D., pg 1).This means that if America colonizes in south america we are going to be taking away resources they need to be economically stable. South America is already growing faster than they should be so if we were to take their resources they would still be economically stable South America's economic growth over the last half century has made its cities expand fast.(national geographic,N.D., pg 2). South America is almost fully grown economically and does not need the resources to help it grow if that is the reason we are colonizing in the first
place. Colonizing South America is the best thing America has thought of in years. From this America will Acquire valuable resources and a climate perfect for grazing animals and growing crops. The idea is very smart so if America has thought there's no doubt that another country has thought of it also. America needs to hurry fast and decide whether or not to colonize South America fast or the opportunity could be lost.
Major places like Peru Ecuador. And Bolivia have major industries such as food processing, mining, wood products, textiles, petroleum, and more. Their major agricultural products would be cacao, balsa wood, shrimp, cotton, sugarcane, and more. (Doc B)Some more major places in South America in South America like Chile and Argentina make most of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and employ over half of the population. They produce grains, fruits such as grapes, and beef cattle, (Doc C) South Americas history many interesting types of civilizations like Aztec of around A.D. 1200- A.D 1521. (Doc 1) South America has some amazing features but also has a downside. From the 1950’s to now more people live in urban areas rather than rural areas unlike 1950 with most of the population living in rural areas. (Doc D) Today in Brazil, one of the largest economies in the world, there is a very large gap between the rich and the poor. Government is trying to build a bridge between the gap but this is hard knowing that 2% of the population are higher class. (Doc E) Around the Amazon River there is forest. But deforestation is making all this go away based on a survey taken in 2000-2005, Most of it is caused by Cattle Ranches. About 35% is taken up by small-scale, subsistence agriculture, The rest taken up by fires, urbanization construction, logging and large scale commercial agriculture. (Doc
One of the main reasons Europeans colonized Africa was for their useful resources. There are countless assets in the African landscape that were wanted by other nations. The European countries had access to some of the worlds most needed resources such as cotton, oils, coal, gold, and diamonds because they controlled Africa. This is shown on a chart of African colonies and their exports. ("Selected African Colonies and Their Exports" 269). This shows how the European countries carefully selected the land they did, to get certain resources they needed or wanted to use to benefit from. Another chart from a book by Trevor Lloyd, (Lloyd, The British Empire), displays the large jump of exports to Africa from 1854 to 1900. What that means is once Great Britain established complete control of South Saharan Africa, they began to export the resources they found that they could use. These charts are proof of how the European's wanted resources, and that is one of the main reasons for the imperialization of Africa. Not only did the European nations want the continent's resources, but they had an equal hunger for power.
...South America and became important export crops in West Africa in the 20th century. While little information was provided on our specific topic, this source was useful for the information of the Columbian Exchange.
In the 1600’s there was the foundations of representative government. In the 1600’s the colonists came up with something called a democracy. A democracy is a government in which people rule themselves. The colonists had voted for many certain laws. They ruled themselves by using the laws of society. The carter named “Magna Carta” was a character of liberties which was agreed by King John of England, it had made the king obey the same laws as the citizens. Protestantism is a branch within Christianity; this was mostly participated during the 16th century. These were people who had reformed certain practices in the Catholic churches. On November 11, 1620 the Mayflower Compact was signed. The Mayflower Compact is a legal contract which was agreed to have fair laws to protect the good.
Based on England’s salutary neglect toward the colonies, their policy of mercantilism, and the fact that no colonists were represented in Parliament, I would have signed the Declaration of Independence.
Colonization was like the game battleship during the 15th century, because the objective of it was to conquer the most land as possible to gain control. It had negative and positive affects on countries but the negative is what people judge it off of, but that should not be the case. Africa and the Europeans is a prime example, in which the Europeans gained control over Africa’s nations. Things changed when they arrived. Looking back on it, the U.S has a decision on whether to colonize South America. The first thoughts on it are, look what they did negatively but look what they did positively. The U.S should consider colonizing South America because it could benefit for both groups. The U.S can influence the wealth of the country, provide better education, healthcare and introduce new and improved technology all in positive ways.
Many countries 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 United States should learn from Europe's mistakes and not colonize South America because it is not fair to the South American's, and it can cause harm to both Americans and South Americans.
Austin published the terms of colonization in Texas and Let colonists from the US start to settle on land located on the Brazos and Colorado Rivers.
Du Bois in his essay, “Andromeda” he asks two rhetorical questions: “Does the world need Africa? Does Africa need the world?” (Andromeda 144). If we think about the evolvement of America, we cannot forget that America was mainly built on Africa and its riches. It grew into a mere stopping place between Europe and Asia and even a treasure house of gold and diamonds. America developed through African labor; the center of the sugar empire and the cotton kingdom. It became an integral part of the world industry and trade, which caused the Industrial Revolution and the reign of capitalism. The world has always needed Africa in order to gain power and expand their country.
Weather that has an ability to wipe out tribes, and unpredictable political structure were all hurdles that these gifted farmers has to endure. As Europe was going through an industrial boom, their markets started to expand. Capitalists saw that it became harder maintain the profit at the current level. Outside resources and raw materials that were used for production were needed. Africa was the answer. Bill Rau writes " The increasing demand and competition for both resources and markets among Europe's capitalist economies led them to carve out territories in Africa that offered the prospect of vast mineral and agricultural wealth.(p 29)" What Bill Rau is saying is that, for the capitalist to survive he must maintain a high profit.
The time that it has taken to fully see the Europeans feel successful with colonization can be taken back to the 19th century. Now it all started a few centuries earlier than that and there were many gains and losses for both the Europeans and the Non-Europeans. The Europeans in the earlier years were colonizing differently than what they started to do later during the 19th century and it was also the same for their relationships with other countries. The 19th century brought new views and ways to pursuing economics, politics, and the environment. This time of vast colonization with true success is known as the “New Imperialism” age. A lot started going well for the Europeans, but despite many advantages at the time, they were still not
expert says ‘“Attempting to go mars would be a pricey, risky leap, and would be a waste of a great deal of money”’. Colonizing mars is a terrible idea because it’s extremely dangerous, it wouldn’t be comfortable, and finally there is no turning back.
... is very important for the U.S. to keep a close eye on the region, and I believe there is still a lot that can be gained from cooperation for both regions. South America has one of the richest and most adventurous histories of the South Western hemisphere, and quite possibly the world. All though, things for the region continue to improve as South America finds itself on the world stage hosting the 2014 World Cup, and the Summer Olympics in 2016; deforestation of the rain forest and the drug cartels continue to be a growing problem for the region. It is of the up most importance that the countries of South America work together within its region as well as, with outside countries like the United States and China, to strengthen political and economic ties and conservation efforts. That will be the only way to help ensure a better future for the region and the world.
Should we colonize mars? In my opinion, we should. In case something happens to Earth, we should colonize Mars. Many people think that humans can’t survive on Mars without food or water but, by the time we get to Mars we may have the technology to either transporting food from Earth or be able to raise crops and animals on Mars.
Colonization is when a central government, particularly one with higher power than the other, dominates a specific area of land or country. In history Europe tried to colonize specific areas of Africa, while both positive and negative influences came from this experience, the only changes developed by the African people were generally negative. If the United States planned to colonize South America the end result would overall be negative. South America should not be colonized seeing as the lives of the people would be taken over, or majorly altered, and the positive results from the colonization would only benefit the United States.
