Colonial Encounters

How a first wave is different from a second wave of European Conquest?
          A first wave happened between 1492 to 1700 and it was in North and South American.
Spain and Portugal were the colonies and there was a massive demographic impact. In America, there was "The Great Dying," where majority of Native people died. That is because the Europeans' introducing diseases into the native tribes. The tribes did not have immunity to these diseases, so many, many people died. The Europeans' were determined to come to American because God, Gold, and Glory. However, most of the Europeans' stayed here in America permanently. Moreover, these Europeans' influence Christianity to native people. 
      On the other hand, a second wave happened between 1750 to 1950 and it was in Asia and Africa. Germany  Japan. the United States, Italy, and Belgium are the country that got involved in second wave. The Europeans' tried control by economic power and the military force and they were likely to cause war. The interesting fact was that in a second wave there was insignificant demographic impact, but in a first wave there was huge demographic impact. These Europeans'  did not colonized permanently. The Europeans' work with local leaders, at the same time they introduce capital market, labor, and trading their natural resources. In nineteen century, the British take over Austria and  New Zealand and it was very similar to earlier colonization.

Apartheid: Apartheid was a system of racial separation which happened from 1848 to 1994, in South Africa. Apartheid was developed in World War II. The Europeans colonized South Africa. Before Europeans' colonized South Africa, the word like race or people with color, such as black, brow, and white.did not exist Later there was racial difference between people from different tribe. During that period of time the white people ruled South Africa. However, the South Africans did not had right and they had their own separate place. For example, South African needed a pass laws to work. This study shows us that the Europeans' colonized many countries around the world by force and some of the things last permanently and some did not.
