Consequences+Good+vs+Bad

=Consequences=

European exploring has it's good and bad. Through the advantages and disadvantages though, this is what makes our world what it is today. John Cabot, Francis Xavier and Vasco Nunez da Balboa are just a few of the ambicious explorers that our country is molded and shaped around. Now, the consequences, good and bad

GOOD


 * Increased trade which financially jump started our modern world
 * Spread ideas which led to the creation of inventions like the wheel or car
 * Horses were introduced which helps explorations on land
 * Different crops were spread which increaesed markets to run society
 * Expanded cultures
 * Indians introduced to iron, steel, and weapons including the gun

BAD


 * Vasco da Gama contributed to slavery
 * Native population was severely reduced and some even destroyed
 * Deadly diseases were spread throughout the western hemisphere
 * Natives were forcefully converted to Christians therefor ruining original customs
 * Discovered tobacco which can cause lung disease

Over all, our cities, countries, continents and maybe even whole world might have been different without our European Explorers.
