Why do European white immigrants want to destroy Indians?

Reasons for the rapid decline of Indian population Before the opening of the new air route, the total population of American Indians was about 40 million, but during the 100 year after the opening of the new air route, the Indian population decreased by 90%-95%, and the Indians in the Caribbean and tropical coastal areas were almost extinct. Only in some areas with harsh natural conditions, there are relatively many Indians preserved. The reason for this situation is definitely the result of Europe's invasion of America, and the specific reasons can be analyzed from the following five aspects.

First of all, European colonists directly and indirectly slaughtered a large number of Indians after the invasion. European colonists used slaughter to repay the Indians who treated them warmly. They slaughtered Indians in two ways: first, they used the contradictions between different tribes of Indians to provoke wars between them; Another means is to directly kill Indians who are extremely backward in force by violent war. Hernando Kottesz, a Spanish aristocrat, reached an agreement with other Indian tribes who were enemies of the Aztec Empire during his expedition to the Aztec Empire. On the one hand, he received material support from the tribe, on the other hand, he received military support from the tribe. The European colonies in America were established after the colonial aborigines were conquered by force. Almost the whole United States is a colony of western countries.

Second, the plague brought by European colonists caused a large number of Indian deaths. When Europeans came to America, they inadvertently brought some European plagues to America, such as smallpox, measles, influenza, typhus and plague, which dealt a fatal blow to Indians who were not immune to these plagues. When Spaniard hernando Cortez made an expedition to the Aztec Empire, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, hernando Cortez fled after attacking Zhaitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire, and his strength was severely weakened under the tenacious resistance of the Aztecs, but the Aztec Empire did not strike back, because when the Aztecs expelled Cortez from the capital, the smallpox brought by Cortez spread in the capital of the Aztecs, making the Aztecs lose half of their population and its emperor. The Aztecs were unable to fight back against the Spanish, giving them a chance to breathe and fight back. Finally, the whole Aztec empire was conquered by the team of more than 0/00 people. 1532, Pizarro led 168 people to attack the Inca Empire. Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire after smallpox flooded and captured a large population of the Inca Empire. Thomas Bien, a famous British historian, said: "If smallpox is a disease that killed Vainakapak, the Inca emperor, then these viruses are invisible pioneers of a few invaders who led Pizarro to invade South America." To a certain extent, these plagues wiped out a large number of native Americans on a large scale, and the direct death of Indians due to war could not be compared with plagues. French historian Braudel clearly pointed out in the article "Material Civilization, Economy and Capitalism from 16 to 18" that "it is absolutely certain that after Europe conquered America, the population dropped sharply, and perhaps it has not reached the point of ten rooms and nine empty rooms." He thinks that the plague gave the Indians a fatal blow. There are many similar examples. 1788 Shortly after the British immigrated to Sydney, the Australian aborigines suffered extinction, which is another typical example.

Third, after the colonists conquered the colonies, they forced the Indians to do high-intensity labor and oppressed many Indians. European colonists, especially Spain and Portugal, established a large number of feudal manors and opened many mines. They used Indians, and a lot of high-intensity labor caused many Indians to die from oppression.

Fourth, the great psychological damage caused by conquering Indians is also one of the important reasons for the reduction. Many Indian tribes are faced with the killing and plague of advanced weapons by European colonists, resulting in a large population decline and the complete destruction of cultural beliefs: they believe that the reason for this situation is "God bless white people", which has caused irreparable psychological trauma to Indians, and the impact on relatively backward Indians can be imagined.

Fifth, the westward movement after the independence of the United States accelerated the reduction of Indians. After the independence of the United States, the territory expanded rapidly, from the Atlantic coast to the east coast of the Pacific Ocean. Although the westward movement accompanied by territorial expansion promoted the rapid development of American economy, it was a disaster for Indians. The 1787 constitutional amendment after the independence of the United States did not stipulate any human rights of Indians. In the westward movement, Americans used force to drive Indians to "protected areas" with extremely harsh natural conditions. If they did not leave, they would use force to solve them, which caused great harm to a large number of American Indians. In this sense, the westward movement is the history of Indian blood and tears, which has caused long-term poverty and backwardness of Indians.
