1. Trace the history of colonialism in America.

Colonialism in America refers to the period of European colonization of the Americas, which began in the 15th century and lasted until the late 19th century. This period is marked by the establishment of European colonies and their exploitation of the indigenous populations and resources of the Americas. The following is a brief overview of the history of colonialism in America: 

The Spanish colonization of America began with the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492, who was looking for a new route to India. Columbus landed on an island in the Caribbean, which he named San Salvador. He believed that he had reached the East Indies and called the people he encountered "Indians." The Spanish continued to explore and colonize the Americas, establishing settlements in present-day Mexico, Central America, and South America.
