people in Africa and America?
• 2. How did European exploration change the
world? (pt.2)
• Textbook reference: ch.3 sec.1-2 (also p.122)

2. Impacts on Africans and Native
Populations
• How did Spanish treatment of Africans and
the Indigenous people of North and South
America affect Spain and those they
conquered?
• What were the immediate and eventual
results of Spain’s expansion into North and
South America?

3. Impacts on Africans and Native
Americans
• Atlantic Slave Trade- Between the 1500s and 1800s more than 10 million people
were taken from Africa and enslaved to work in the Americas. Millions of Africans died on the
journey and on plantations
• Encomiendas- The Spanish government gave Spanish colonists land grants that gave
them the right to demand labor and taxes from Native Americans living in areas claimed by Spain.
This system had disastrous effects on local populations and led to the deaths of millions of people
in mines and on plantations
• Plantation- A large piece of land (estate) farmed by many slaves, the products were sent
around the world and made Spain wealthy
• Conquistador- Spanish conquerors who invaded Mexico and South America for God,
Glory, and Gold. They conquered and enslaved the indigenous people, making Spain wealthy in the
process
• Cortes- Spanish conquistador who invaded and conquered the Aztec empire in present-day
Mexico.
• Pizarro- Spanish conquistador who conquered the Incan empire of South America.

8. Global Change as a Result of European
Expansion
• The Columbian Exchange- The encounter between the
peoples of the Eastern and Western hemispheres led to a global exchange of
resources, food, medicine, government, technology, disease, language and the arts
and ideas.
• Triangular Trade- After North America is colonized by Europeans
develop trade routes between the Caribbean, New England and Africa. These
trading relationships rely on products gained through slave labor and the slave
market (p.122).
• Colony- A group of people are sent by their native country to another land
to settle for the economic benefit of their home country

9. The Columbian Exchange: The following three slides
show the exchanges between east and west. How did
European exploration impact people in Africa and
