The influence of the discovery of the new world on Europeans

Impact:

1, Europeans began to control America, Asia and Africa politically, exploited and plundered economically, and infiltrated religion and culture. Colonies lost their political and economic sovereignty, became vassals of the suzerain, and their culture and lifestyle gradually changed.

2. At the same time, European colonial activities have broken the relative isolation between continents, and the world has increasingly become an interactive and closely linked whole.

Extended data:

1492 On Columbus's first voyage, he landed in a place he called "San Salvador" in the Bahamas, instead of planned Japan.

During the next three voyages, Columbus reached the Greater Antilles, the Lesser Antilles, Venezuela and Central America on the Caribbean coast, and declared them the territory of the Spanish Empire.

Columbus' discovery of the New World indirectly led to the occurrence of triangle trade. Columbus's voyage and discovery blew the first horn to European colonists and explorers, prompting them to set off a wave of going to the New World, which proved that the earth was round.

Columbus's voyage was the beginning of the era of great navigation. Since then, the west has finally stepped out of the darkness of the Middle Ages and started to rise in the world with an irresistible trend.
