| Unit Description |
By the end of the 15th century European adventurers had discovered the New World and guessed its potential. The consequences of that meeting were enormous. This unit examines the engagement of Europe with the New World, geographically, politically, economically and intellectually. We will consider the exploration of Spain, France and The Netherlands but concentrate on the settlement of the English in North America. Topics covered include: early attempts at settlement, colonial life, political growth, science and the Enlightenment, the trans-Atlantic relationship and eventual separation in Revolution. The unit ends with the War of 1812 and the confirmation of independence for the United States of America. |
