♦The Colonization of The Americas in the 18th Century


As the 18th century dawned, all the world’s eyes turned to America. Once, the resources it promised its colonial masters was its main attraction. Now, the societies these powers had planted there rivalled or even surpassed them. As constant warfare plunged the European nations into chaos which played out across the Atlantic, the people of the Americas - settlers, slaves, and indigenous alike - would increasingly take their fates into their own hands. In this video, we will see how colonisation in the Americas after 1700 descended into chaotic warfare and violent revolution that spelled the end of one age and the dawn of another. By 1776, the map of the American continent, and the course of history, would be changed forever.
