The first settlers from North-East Asia appeared in America about 40
thousand years ago. After crossing the land " bridge” on the site of the
modern Bering Strait, they first settled the Alaskan Peninsula and the territory
up to the steppe zone. The first settlers were engaged in gathering and hunting
(mammoths, musk oxen, bears). As a result, many species of animals were
exterminated in a relatively short time. Scientists say that the first
environmental disaster in American history occurred during this period.
The second wave of migrants arrived from Asia about 25 thousand years ago.
Thus, the number of Americans grew and their language composition became
more complex. Although they are Mongoloid in appearance, their long
isolation and the need to adapt to new conditions have left their mark on their
appearance. In their appearance, new, specific features appeared. The
warming of the climate after the glaciation era contributed to the mass
development of American lands and the transition of some tribes to
settlement. Scientists suggest that the first settled settlement appeared in
America about 10 thousand years ago. years ago in the area of modern
Chicago.

The Eskimos are the most Northern, hardy and
unpretentious people. The number of this people is
110 thousand people.
The Eskimos created a special Arctic culture of hunters
and fishermen. They learned to get food in the harsh
conditions of the tundra.
One of the most remarkable inventions of the Eskimos
is a spherical house made of snow bricks – an Igloo.

9. Tribes that settled America

The existence of isolated Indian tribes on the American continent has
caused not only their external dissimilarity, but also differences in
lifestyle and language composition.
The Algonquins, who were the predominant native American tribes that
inhabited North America, were engaged in hunting, fishing, and crafts.
Their lodgings, wigwams, and very light boats became the symbols of
all the Indians.
The North of modern Mexico was inhabited by bold Apache tribes.
They built multi-storey houses of hewn stones and engaged in irrigation
farming. The Olmecs, the ancient inhabitants of the Gulf coast, laid the
Foundation for the economic and cultural development of later
civilizations (the Mayans and Aztecs). They, along with improving the
methods of everyday management, were engaged in census, drawing,
making calendars, and had a written language.

For example, the Amazon and Patagonia in South
America were inhabited by much more backward tribes
than their Northern and Western neighbors. They ate
only the ready-made gifts of nature.
Before the arrival of Europeans in America, there were
three major States formed by the Aztecs, Incas and
Mayans.
The basis of the economy of these civilizations, which
reached a high level of development, was agriculture.
Now many cultivated plants consumed in food were
first introduced to Europe and only then spread to other
parts of the world .

14. Colonization Of America 

Colonization Of America
In the beginning of XVI century began a massive and rapid
colonization of America by Europeans. Indian civilization, which
has reached a higher level of socio- cultural development
compared to the European one, could not withstand the onslaught
of colonizers. For two centuries, caravans of ships exported to
Europe the best examples of art of Indian civilization, products
made of gold and precious stones. Gold jewelry and products
were melted down into coins. We can say that the subsequent
enrichment and flourishing of European countries occurred
thanks to the gold stolen from the American Indians.

16. Despite the systematic economic, political and social oppression of the Indians, the Europeans still failed to enslave them.

Therefore, the colonizers had no choice but to
physically exterminate them and force them out of their homes . As a result, over two
and a half centuries, the native American population has declined several times, and on
some Islands of the Caribbean, which were under the rule of the Spanish, there are no
Indians at all .

17.

On the lands freed from the local population in
Central and South America, on the plantations
of the southern modern USA, various crops
were cultivated. In the vast landed estates —
the latifundia (from the Latin. latus— "vast”,
fundus —" land”) used the labor of slaves
imported from Africa. Thus, such a branch of
economy as plantation farming was born .

18.

European colonization radically changed the cultural
and geographical appearance of America. There was
an unprecedented mixing of races and peoples , and
completely new ethnic groups emerged.
