What many textbooks DON’T talk about is that these Europeans were terrible to the Natives. They killed and/or raped them. The Europeans wanted to make sure that there would be no more Natives so they made sure to kill all of the women and children so they couldn’t make any more Native children. The Europeans gave the Natives diseases as well, destroyed their food, took their land, and made them move away from their homes. How did the Natives let this happen? Why did they not attack the Europeans when they first saw them?

Unit 2: History Discovery of the New World
In 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered a group of islands, but he mistook them for part of India. Later Amerigo Vespucci confirmed that a new continent had been discovered. So the New World was named after him, “America”. In 1497, John Cabot arrived in today’s Canada and the English King claimed that the whole of the territory of North America belonged to England. Enforcing this claim, the Englishmen began to establish permanent settlements in North America by the beginning of the 17th century.

2. Maritime territory: Maritime territory is a term used in international law to denote coastal waters which are not Territorial Waters though in immediate contact with the sea. In the case of Territorial Waters, the dominion of the adjacent state is subject to a limitation. Dominion over maritime territory is not subject to any limitation. Thus any strait through which the right of passage of foreign vessels can be forbidden, or bays so land-locked that they cannot be held to form part of any ocean-highway, are maritime territory.
4. Endangered species : An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in numbers, or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters.
