Document Summary
Continental diplomacy polite way to describe the struggles for resources etc. and of indigenous peoples by first the europeans and now what is canada and u. s. a. 1400- significant european change on ppl and culture began. Christopher columbus set the stage for spanish colonialism and led the way to other nations claiming rights. Continental diplomacy is mainly concerned with spain, britain, france and indigenous nations. 2 types of colonialism: exploitation colonialism- taking what resources are there with the least amount of effort, settler colonialism- larger number of colonists which create new resources e. g. farming. Eventually the spanish influence left and the british and french were left to battle it out with themselves and the indigenous population. Spanish were the worst to deal with -> they sought out gold and riches and if not found massacred people and took slaves. British and french were mostly fur traders their relationship was relatively peaceful, this did not mean they didn"t change their culture unintentionally.
