Thank you Then here's your shmoop du jour brought to

00:05

you by settlers explorers who will give up on their

00:08

dreams and just wind up stopping in the nearest body

00:11

of land Sad right One direct effect of the process

00:13

depicted in the image was what And hear your potential

00:17

answers on rise my island element Okay well let's start

00:20

at the bottom and then jump around because well we

00:23

feel like it was an increased demand for european settlers

00:26

A direct effect of the process depicted in the image

00:29

while the trade of a trader was teo trade well

00:32

in the time before phones and the internet this usually

00:35

meant a lot of moving around You couldn't just call

00:37

up your native supplier and asked them to email you

00:40

The shipping details google the best shipping companies and organized

00:43

delivery all from the comfort of your own home via

00:46

ups trading involved going and getting stuff in person and

00:50

then hauling it halfway across the world the self before

00:52

having to sail the other halfway Just teo you know

00:55

get more stuff plus think about how long it took

00:58

to travel those kinds of distances And really if you

01:00

were a traitor You probably didn't have all that much

01:03

to do with settling except in business dealings Phil let's

01:06

cancel this order across diaz how about be Well the

01:08

british at the time were really into agriculture We know

01:11

how much british people love tea and well t needs

01:14

to be grown for was considered a luxury item that

01:17

was probably not very useful The farmers who had better

01:20

things to do than stand around in furs and you

01:22

know look pretty The british were far too busy cultivating

01:26

t routes to concern themselves with the creation of elaborate

01:29

trade routes throughout the mostly british colonies So be it

01:33

looks like we're just not buying it What about see

01:35

many of these countries had longstanding gripes with one another

01:38

sometimes for rational reasons and sometimes a little as logical

01:42

ones for wasn't the only sought after item to be

01:44

found in the new world Former european rivals were already

01:47

competing with each other for all sorts of good they

01:49

seem happy enough Keep those rivalry is going strong for

01:52

trading was simply another opportunity to show off there prowess

01:56

we had best bidding you to see which brings us

01:58

To a european fur traders were forging alliances right and

02:01

left and centre with the native peoples by making friends

02:04

and getting hitched However conflicts between rival groups of native

02:07

peoples began to rise Is the desire for control over

02:10

this incredibly profitable market grew All things escalated from there

02:14
