Being from Mexico and learning how the Spanish conquistadors arrived and immediately blended with the Indians into a mixed-race culture, it is extremely interesting to see how in North America , European Americans and indigenous peoples would peacefully coexist and blend into a new culture. I have now heard of the conquest of the New World, both north and south of the Rio Grande, and have concluded that north of the US-Mexico border the indigenous population had no chance of survive or establish an independent nation. Thousands of years without exposure and experience with warfare or epidemics led to growing disparities, which caused the fall and conquest of indigenous peoples at the hands of European Americans. Other factors such as inferior technology, ideological and moral differences, tribal conflict, and U.S. land policies had a profound effect on Native Americans in their attempt to maintain or establish an independent nation. Early American historical events show us that Native Americans and Europeans could not coexist, and clashes between these two groups would be inevitable. European Americans had a conquering mentality that differed greatly from the mentality of the Native Americans (or even the Spanish conquistadors who arrived with a mentality of conversion and fusion in interbreeding), who found that there was enough room for all to are settling in, with ground fighting being very sporadic. Additionally, most groups of European Americans interacted and shared a common religious, linguistic, and cultural heritage that made them a powerful centralized force. Unlike European Americans, indigenous peoples only interacted with each other occasionally...... middle of paper ...... plus the fact that they never developed weapons, combined with their lack of immunity to introduced diseases. by the old world, which led the Indians, enormously superior in numbers, to a humiliating defeat. I concluded, after learning a lot about the relationship between Indians and European Americans, that the warless years paused the Indians' ability to innovate in technology to not only defend themselves but also protect. Likewise, their isolation and the non-existence of herd animals led the Indians to have insufficient natural defenses against deadly and epidemic diseases. The combination of the previously mentioned factors destroyed any opportunity for Indian survival despite their numerical superiority over European Americans. Eventually, after all the knowledge gained, the triumph of the Europeans and Americans was supposed to happen..
