The Columbian Exchange
The Columbian Exchange was a widespread global transfer of animals, plants, culture, diseases and technology between the Americas, Africa and Europe in the 15th-16th centuries related to European colonization and trade. Key crops imported from the Americas like potatoes, maize and tomatoes significantly improved diets in Europe and Asia.

New Imperialism Analysis
Ch. 27 - "The New Imperialism"
Between 1860-1914, Western European powers and the United States engaged in imperialism and colonial expansion throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Technological advances like steamships allowed Western nations to establish colonies to gain access to raw materials and new markets. By 1914, Europe had colonized almost all of Africa and Asia. Colonial rule exploited local populations and economies but also introduced new infrastructure, technologies, and education systems. Over time, this led to the rise of nationalist independence movements seeking self-rule in the colonized regions.

The document discusses several causes of war in Latin America following independence from Spain in the early 19th century. These included racial tensions from the Haitian revolution, the struggle between centralist and federalist political factions, boundary disputes between newly independent nations, conflicts over resources like nitrates in the War of the Pacific, the actions of authoritarian leaders known as caudillos who sought to consolidate power, and religious conflicts. European interventions were also a source of war as colonial powers sought to protect their commercial interests in the region.
New Imperialism Motives
The document summarizes the key motives for new imperialism, including economic, political, and social factors. Economically, industrialized nations sought new markets for goods and sources of raw materials as their home resources declined. Politically, rivalry between nations led to competition over colonies.

The Rise Of Imperialism
The document discusses the relationship between imperialism and nationalism. It states that imperialism involves dominating other societies and subjugating their populations to gain political and economic advantages over their land and people.

However, imperialism also disrupted native cultures by replacing local traditions with those of the colonizing country. The document provides the example of how British rule in India gradually tore away many of the country's traditions through invasive control. Imperialism reflected the immense inequalities between colonizing and colonized nations that resulted from one nation dominating another primarily for its own benefit and resources.
