Chapter 20 Part 1

The focus of the beginning of this chapter is all about colonialism! As it says in the book, there were two different kinds of waves of European conquest. The first place that they went to was America. This is the story that most people now about Europe colonizing America. But the second place that they invaded was Asia and Africa. And people kind of know the story about this, but it is not as broadcasted as their trip to Americas. The major countries that were into colonialism were France, Britain, Italy, Germany, Portuguese, and Russia. Lots of people, besides the rich, disliked the colonies however because the rulers took many things from the people that they invaded including land and money.
