European Colonization of the Americas

Big Picture Columbus changed the world forever – Columbian exchange European nations raced to expand their empires and power Renaissance and Reformation were key to colonization Religious, political and economical conditions promoted emigration

Life in Western Europe Farming society: – Peasants grow food and livestock – Villages with family households: patrilineal – Men- field work – Women- childcare, livestock, food Social life: – Feudalism: A medieval European social system in which land was divided into hundreds of small holdings – Feudal lords control land, labor and taxes (crop tributes) – Christianity- Roman Catholic until Protestant Reformation – Persecution of “pagan” religions – Poor diet, poor health, famine, plagues

Renaissance and Mercantilism European monarchies consolidate power -> internal order, standing armies, bureaucracies, trading contracts Crusades -> silk & spice trade, new technologies (gunpowder, compass, printing & movable type) and Renaissance Exploration and expansion begins
