How did the Columbian exchange affect Europe Africa and the Americas?
The Columbian Exchange dramatically changed the course of history, culture, politics, and everything else in Europe, Africa, and the Americas. What Africa got out of it was slavery. While a few men may have profited from selling off kidnapped people from rival tribes to the Europeans, millions of people would be directly exported from Africa, sometimes to Europe, but the vast majority to the Americas, mostly to work on the plantations and farms of the southern British colonies and Latin America. The Americas got colonized by the European powers, sometimes with their resources being taken advantage of and their native people displaced and even slaughtered, but they truly became the New World that would forever dramatically change the face of the world. Europe, of course, received infinite opportunities in the Americas, in terms of land, resources, new people and products to interact with, and a whole new frontier for the politics and history of the world to take place on. And, of course, absolutely incredible opportunities to expand their empires.
How does the yellow river affect people?
The Huang River affects the people that lived near it because over time loess builds up in the river it forming dams, so that caused the river to change its course many times. But when the river suddenly changes course, farms and towns are destroyed. And the Huang river also has many horrible floods. So in a result they call the Huang river "the River of Sorrow".
Did the british empire civilze the world?
We did our bit...... no, I dont suppose the British Empire did actually do the job, but at the time it was, ostensibly, a step, a series of steps, along the way. As Mahatma Gandhi said when asked what he thought of British civilisation: 'I think it would be a very good idea' and of course he is right. He is still right today. We in Britain are no further along the road than anyone else: I do not hold up the life I lead, or the society I live in here in UK as better than you in Timbuktoo or wherever. What I do say, and you may disagree, is that the Empuire could have been far, far worse than it was. As I say, we did our bit. Not always right, not always for the right reasons, but history shows we played our part.
