Colonization of North America
When the Europeans arrived in North America, it was made up of mostly agricultural civilizations and nomadic tribes. But, when the people saw what the Europeans were doing and how they were trying to take over, the nomadic tribes formed groups to fight. The Europeans brought many diseases with them to North America which killed off many of the tribes so they couldn't fight back anymore. This colonization brought a lot of power and wealth to the Europeans.

I felt that it was unfortunate that the europeans came and took over the east coast, driving the original people out. Even though the europeans did bring a lot of wealth to themselves, they destroyed a whole civilization. This shows many things about colinization, such as one country may benifit, but it is common that the original people will be impaired by it.
