What impact did the discovery of the American continent have on the United States and Europe?

The discovery of America by Europeans produced the following results:

1, American continent resources were plundered, indigenous people were slaughtered, and slaves began. Europeans began to immigrate to America. The reason why Europeans started sailing in the new era is to acquire more wealth and resources. Although their initial goal was to find China, a legendary land full of gold, they finally found America. In order to obtain the resources of the American continent, they slaughtered Indians, occupied land, plundered local natural resources and immigrated to America. Later, the number of Indians gradually decreased, and Europeans began to buy and sell black slaves from Africa in order to obtain sufficient labor, which was also the beginning of the tragic historical experience of black people.

2. The introduction of advanced western ideas. After Europeans immigrated to the American continent, they naturally brought advanced European science and technology and advanced capitalist ideas to the American continent. This also provided an ideological and material basis for the people of the American continent to strive for democracy, freedom and equal status later. The prosperity of American industry provided a weapon foundation and other material foundation for the American people to get rid of the shackles of Europe later. The American people's declaration of independence and the establishment of various systems were based on the advanced ideas and theories of Europe at that time.

3. The recession of European economy. After the discovery of the American continent, although it once provided rich natural resources and labor for the European continent, due to its cruel African slave trade, the European people began to bear the original sin of crime. People have narrow and hypocritical doubts about the equality and freedom of their propaganda.

At the same time, in order to vigorously develop America, Europeans have invested a lot of money in the American continent. However, the subsequent independence of the American continent made it impossible to recover the funds invested by European countries in time, and the shortage of domestic funds hindered the continued development of these countries, which had a great impact. In Britain before World War I, it was because capitalists invested a lot of money to set up factories in the United States to make profits, which led to the decline of British domestic industry.
