CH 15

I have always found History extremely interesting; I enjoy being taught about our earths pass, as in hearing about who where the first humans to step foot into certain countries.  Furthermore I appear to like hearing about the men that over took these natives human’s lands.  Through the reading one can get the impression that the Europeans took over most of the lands, even though the Europeans were very strong men so were the Russians and England men and they also succeeded with taking over other humans countries.   However at a certain point in the pass the stronger countries wanted to over through the poor countries whom had no weapons or any type of equipment to protect themselves. There was a moment in history where all of these countries help each other out. They would trade their goods and make money off of each other. Some Countries had goods like spices and other countries would sell fur which would be use as clothing. Even though the Natives Americans were the ones who would hunt for the fur the Notre Americans would pay them for it at a low price and they would sell it for more money to other countries. The Serbians would hunt for fur as well for the Russians but they would make no money off of the fur. The Europeans where people who would live to travel the world and fine new things. They did find a culture whom were black skin people. The Europeans were very light skin tall blue or green eyes as they said in the pass they were very much beautiful then the black skin people,  at least that’s what they believed . They decided to take them home with them and have them as their servants.  Out of the whole reading the slavery part graved my attention because I find it very depressing that these innocent people had to go through so much pain. It makes me wonder what had happened if they Europeans had never found the Africa would their still be racism?
