Imperialism Project


We did the Imperialism project to see how overtime countries owned others. a lot of countries were starting to trade . they started to bring slaves too, gold, silver, copper, coal , making factories in different part of the world to spread different ideas and trading help each other learn new thing.

Not everyone would come back a live though a few would survive their journey. One person that went on a journey to find an easier way to get spices from India was Christopher Columbus. They would go to India to get spices, cotton and opium but spices was important for Europeans. Instead of ending up in India Christopher Columbus ended in America what he called the New World. Finding the New World was better because now Europe was earning more money with the crops they grew in the New World.
