Their relationships with the Native Americans also had a key role in the survival of the colonies as well as how they familiarized themselves with new conditions.

Because in 1492, after the war was over, Spain was badly injured and needed recovery, so they need to seek out for new trade routes to help cover up the cost after the war; plus before 1492, Spain’s navigation and ship systems was very poor that they can not travel anywhere far and safely. 1492 was the perfect year to search for the New World. First and foremost, in 1492, the Renaissance has brought a great improvement to Europe. Renaissance means “rebirth;” it was a time of creativity and changes in economic, political, and cultural in society. One of the most important changes that came with the Renaissance were improving in science, technology, and mathematics.
When colonists first arrived they received help from the Powhatan by trading goods with them, but their differences between them were bound to cause trouble. More colonists arrived, which demanded more and more land. John Rolfe attempted to improve their relationship by marrying Chief Powhatans daughter in 1614. It worked temporarily, and the Powhatans helped the colonists. The tobacco plantations kept demanding more and more land.
The thirteen original colonies were founded from about 1607 to 1733. They were a place of great prosperity for new coming settlers. The colonies, initially, were also a substantial place for the natives that lived around them. The relationship between the early colonies and natives benefitted both groups and was a time of peace; However the conquering of land, and spread of disease by the thirteen colonies shifted the relations between the natives populations and euro-colonists. The colonies and natives started fighting over land and resources which resulted in countless deaths and battles.
The United States had for years been improving and growing rapidly. Away from the other world powers in Europe, they were able to avoid their conflicts for a long time, but that changed. America got involved in World War One and it affected some of their advancements. U.S imperialism was able to thrive in WWI, with America using the power to expand their empire. American progressivism however, fell between the cracks and disappeared for a long while during and after the war.
He has determination to get him and the little girl out of where they were so he decides to leave for something better.

The Indians, known to be peaceful and loving people; suddenly after the arrival of the prominent Christopher Columbus in the New World became faced with the ultimate challenge to conquer, or to be conquered. Columbus imposed his quest on them, although they had already established their own colony. This group of natives that faced enslavement, misery and death, were often wanted and needed for the success of many colonists. While Columbus and the Spaniards motive was to obtain wealth from the Indians, their ultimate goal along with the English who supervened in 1607, followed by the French, was to increase their superiority through European colonization. The hardworking, resourceful, independent Indians reacted in different ways towards colonization
As a result of the technologies that were created, many Europeans made the decision to lead expeditions to find new places to colonize and inhabit. This is especially important in the context of colonization of North America because the drive that the Europeans had would (as eventually proven by the idea of Manifest Destiny) seemingly never end. The idea of imperialism changed during the Enlightenment from discoveries of new cultures to the eventual takeover of those same cultures. The Europeans saw themselves as more civilized than the indigenous people that they had met, portraying them as
Throughout the sixteenth century different factors such as economy, society and religion had varying effects on the government policies of the Spaniards before and after the colonization of the Americas. Government policy in the New World was wholly reformed due to the Spanish attitudes in relation to the lands and people they conquered. As the Spaniards established control over the Americas, labour policies were adjusted as to better exploit newly conquered lands and people. Since the Spanish thirsted for gold, they soon discovered many foreign resources that quickly became popular in the western hemisphere.
Colonist had their reasons for coming over to the New World. For many it was for economic growth, religious freedoms, or escaping the political and social systems of their native lands. They enjoyed their freedoms and liberties as new societies while being developed, but it was not an easy accomplishment. The colonist worked hard on developing their towns on their beliefs and values far from the reach of England. As time went on, there was growing tension between the thirteen American colonies and England, their motherland.
Settling in the New World provided both the American settlers and the British government with many opportunities. For the colonists, North America provided an opportunity to improve their lives and escape religious persecution. For the British, settlers in North America provided access to raw materials and new markets in which to sell finished goods. This mercantilist relationship continued for several years, until the colonists began to question Parliament’s right to treat them differently than other British citizens. Taxes were imposed on the colonists as a means of helping to pay the debt Britain had incurred fighting the French.
In the 1890’s, the United States began to act like a great power. At that time, it had passed a period of crisis; the civil war, industrialization, immigration and the aftermath of the Reconstruction era added to anxiety of its economic crisis. Imperialism was called upon to aid in this crisis because it would create a system of foreign relations based on the exchange of goods, but it did so without understanding the consequences of its actions. One way the exchange of goods was used in creating foreign relations was through corporations. Corporations at the time went abroad to look for resources that the continental United States did not have, such as bananas and coffee.
Most people would define wealth as the accumulation of some sort of precious possession(s), or more specifically, just plain money. However, like most concepts, wealth can be observed differently, or it may be completely foreign, in another cultural group. In the early colonization of the New World, two cultural groups, the Northeastern Indians and the English settlers, began to interact more frequently for various purposes such as the purchasing of land. How could two seemingly different societies be able to share a large stretch of land without any conflict? Well, they did not.
