We did the Imperialism Project to learn on how during the European Imperialism people have traveled the seas to get raw materials from other countries. I learned that everyone traded in that period and to trade they had to travel in ships. Not everyone would come back a live though a few would survive their journey. One person that went on a journey to find an easier way to get spices from India was Christopher Columbus. They would go to India to get spices, cotton and opium but spices was important for Europeans. Instead of ending up in India Christopher Columbus ended in America what he called the New World. Finding the New World was better because now Europe was earning more money with the crops they grew in the New World. Much has been traded during the European Imperialism, Europeans have traveled traded and gain many raw material from other continents.
