think:

After the opening of new sea routes, which countries in Western Europe began to embark on the path of foreign colonial expansion?

Answer: Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, France and other countries.

Colony: refers to an area that is ruled by a metropolitan country, has no independent political, economic, military and diplomatic rights, and is completely controlled by the metropolitan country.

What were the main colonial plunder methods of European colonists in the Americas?

Answer: plunder, massacre, enslave Indians, etc.

plunder:

Spanish colonists forced Indians to mine gold and silver in Latin America.

From 1521 to 1544, an average of 2,900 kilograms of gold and more than 30,000 kilograms of silver were shipped back each year;

From 1545 to 1560, an average of 5,500 kilograms of gold and 246,000 kilograms of silver were shipped back every year.

massacre

In the West Indies, they killed Indians. When the colonists first arrived in Haiti, there were about 60,000 people there. By 1548, there were only 500 people left. At this time, the original residents of Cuba and Jamaica were almost extinct.

1. The evil “triangular trade” (16th to 19th centuries)

1. Reasons for slave trade:

(1) European colonists established plantations in America, which required a large amount of labor.

(2) American Indians were massacred and enslaved, their numbers were reduced sharply, and they were unable to provide enough labor for the plantations.

(3) It is profitable to traffic black people from Africa to the Americas for sale

2 Triangular trade process

Return journey transporting gold and silver from America to Europe

Medium-range transport of slaves to America for trade

Departure: Carrying cheap goods from European ports to Africa to "exchange" slaves

3. The influence of the black slave trade—the “triangular trade”:

For Africa: Africa has lost nearly 100 million strong labor force, resulting in long-term poverty and backwardness in Africa. Slide 10

For Europe: Slave traders made a fortune, and European colonists earned a lot of wealth. Investment in industry and commerce was the main way for the primitive accumulation of capital in Europe, and promoted the development of European capitalism.

To the Americas: It has made great contributions to the development and economic development of the Americas, promoted the development of North American capitalism, and created conditions for the establishment and unification of the United States.

Discuss:

Marx pointed out that in the process of selling black slaves, the European bourgeoisie "lost the last bit of shame and conscience." How do you understand this passage from Marx?

This bloody history tells us that the growth of capitalism was accompanied by conquest, massacre, cruel violence, and bloody plunder. As Marx pointed out: “Treasures obtained outside Europe directly through plunder, slavery, and murder are flowing in. The suzerain state is transformed into capital here." "Capital comes to the world, from head to toe, every pore, dripping with blood and filth." Today, no matter how the bourgeoisie whitewashes their society, using "democracy", " "Human Rights" to dress themselves up, but they can never wash away this bloody history.

The establishment of the “Empire on which the Sun Never Sets”

After the 17th century, Britain successively defeated other colonial countries, Spain, the Netherlands, and France, and by the mid-to-late 18th century, it established the largest colonial country in the world. In this way, because the British colonies were so large, the sun circled the earth and always shone on its colonies just like it shined on its own land, so it was called the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets." .

The impact of British colonial plunder on India

1. It has brought poverty and disaster to India, making the poor even poorer. (This was also the fundamental reason why a massive national uprising broke out in India from 1857 to 1859.)

2. Britain plundered countless wealth in India and developed the domestic economy; these colonies provided Britain with a huge overseas market, further stimulated the development of industry, and promoted Britain to quickly become a capitalist industrial power.

Debate Competition

The following are the evaluations of Europeans’ colonial expansion by people from different regions. Do you think they are justified? Tell us your reasons!

Asians, Africans, Americans: European bandits came to us, plundered our wealth, seized our land, destroyed our culture, they were a bunch of demons.

Europeans: We have brought backward Asia, Africa, and America into the era of civilization, and we have pushed these regions forward. We promote the development of humanity as a whole.

Viewpoint 1: Colonial history is a history of plunder and crime!

Reason: Development and prosperity are based on massacre, robbery, and plunder. Europe developed on the basis of these ill-gotten gains. If such behavior can be called reasonable, it is tantamount to admitting that murder, arson, and robbery are also legal, not to mention the disasters and scourges colonialism directly brought to the colonies.

Viewpoint 2: "The merits of colonialism outweigh its faults" is the driving force for social change in the non-Western world!

Reason: Colonialism brought modern civilization to the non-Western world, violently impacted the old social structure, and laid the material foundation for future society. They also brought their advanced cultural ideas, or science and technology to the colonies, allowing the local areas to have more advanced productivity and higher cultural quality than before.

Point 3: Dual role

Reason: Simple denial or affirmation are one-sided to a certain extent. We cannot deny the hardship and hatred that colonization brought to the people, but we cannot deny that colonization also brought progress and civilization.
