EUROPEAN EXPLORATION
•
Unfortunately for Europeans,
these spices did not grow
anywhere in Europe. They were
only found in Asian countries like
China, Japan, and India (these
countries were known together as
"The Indies"). It was very difficult
to get the spices from Asia to
Europe. Spices had to be brought
across thousands of miles of
dangerous mountains and deserts
by spice traders, with bandits
waiting to rob the spice caravans.
The alternative was to bring the
spices by ship, but the sea voyage
was also dangerous because of
pirates and storms. Since it was
so difficult to get spices from Asia
to Europe, spices were very
expensive.
EUROPEAN IMPACT
• The next European to see
this area was Jacques
Cartier in 1536. He sailed
on the St. Lawrence River
and was interested in
trading for furs with the
Native Americans, as furs
were very popular in
Europe for making hats
and coats.

GROWTH OF AMERICA
The vast Louisiana Territory was
purchased for 60 Million Francs or
about $15,000,000.00 of which
$11,250,000.00 was to be paid
directly. The balance to be
covered by the U.S. in the
assumption of French debts to U.
S. citizens. This territory included
800,000 square miles of land. The
purchase of the Louisiana territory
came about as a result of concern
to secure free navigation of the
Mississippi River. President
Jefferson sent Robert R.
Livingston and James Monroe to
negotiate with the government of
the powerful Napoleon I for the
sale of New Orleans.
More growth of America
•
I think the specific fate of the
very poor can become pretty
unmoored from overall
economic conditions, but
certainly as a historical matter
middle class incomes have
risen the most at the same
times America’s has had the
most rapid economic growth—
the 30 years after World War II
and the late 1990s. You can
construct some models in
which this isn’t the case, but in
practice the basic mechanisms
for faster economic growth lead
to rising middle class incomes,
though not necessarily rising
incomes for each individual
middle class household.
The civil war
• The Civil War lasted from
1861 to 1865 and led to
over 618,000 casualties.
Its causes can be traced
back to tensions that
formed early in the
nation's history. Following
are the top five causes
that led to the "War
Between the States."
After the civil war
•
F or most blacks, emancipation and
the end of the Civil War meant a
renewal of hope: of economic
opportunity, social mobility, and
political expectations. Institutions like
Tuskegee, Hampton, and Howard
University were at the center of a
debate over what kind of training,
education, and preparation African
Americans needed to make their way
in the world. Booker T. Washington
became the spokesman for those who
believed that industrial education skills
training and vocational--education was
the best way for blacks to achieve
economic development. All women
students at Tuskegee, for example,
were taught domestic skills such as
cooking, nursing, housekeeping and
laundering.
World war I
•
The causes of WORLD WAR I,
which began in central Europe in
late June 1914, included
intertwined factors, such as the
conflicts and hostility of the four
decades leading up to the war.
MILITARISM, ALLIANCES,
IMPERALISM, and
NATIONALISM played major roles
in the conflict as well. However,
the immediate origins of the war
lay in the decisions taken by
statesmen and generals during
the CRISIS of 1914, CASUS
BELLI for which was the
ASSASSINATION OF
ARCHDUKE FRANZ FERDINAND
OF AUSTRIA AND HIS WIFE BY
GAVRILO PRINCIP, an
IRREDENTIST SERB.
The Great Depression
• It was just not one
factor but instead a
combination of
domestic and
worldwide conditions
that led to Great
Depressions.
WORLD WAR II
• In the 1930sthe American
people having lost many young
men in world war 1 were very
hesitant to involve themselves
in another distant war.From the
first day he seized
