Christopher Columbus wanted to explore new land and it lead him to the New World where Natives lived.He went back to Europe and then the New World again,but when he returned this time,he exploited the Natives into mining gold and plantation for Spaniard landlords who came over to the New World.Within 60 years,the population of 12 million Natives dropped to 3 million from diseases such as small pox and black death.The Spanish government banned the ecomienda system because the Natives population is decreasing rapidly which lead Europeans to explore Africa.And because Africa was part of the Old World,it made it impossible for the Africans to escape the New World.Europeans turned Africans against each other and these Africans enslaved other Africans trading them for guns from Europe.This is how exploration lead to exploitation.

When Christopher columbus lead the exploration to the Americas.He saw what he thought was indians became native americans.He then exploited them by making them look for gold and made them farm.Which is known as a encomienda system.But many native americans died because they weren't used to european dieseas like small pox or the common cold.About 600,000 taino people lived on island of hispaniola before columbus came in 1492. By 1531 there was 600 people left.

European exploration lead to exploitation of the people in Africa and the Americas because the European start traveling the world in search of new land. From that they started to make people to tray their own kind for guns, good and food. They take these people of there free will to worked all day. They mistreated people in an horrible way, to them it seem fair because it making them to get all the benefits while the African worked all day in the filed without pay or food. The exploitation also lead to many diseases that causes many people to died an make many state population to also drop while other state population increase.

When Christopher columbus realize that the tanio people were getting sick and traveled to a new world and discovered that africans were immuned to there diseases and took them to the new world and made them work and sell there bodys . Then when the europeans also realize they can make these people do what ever they want.

By desire, some explorers liked to explore Christopher Columbus was one of them...He explore the new world and discovered his richest and wanted to profit of so what the deal??? He can't work like a laborer so he decide to enslave the natives who lived there....exploration lead exploitation by this Christopher was an explorer who find a treasure and exploit people make a sense at his exploration....

The Europeans exploration led to exploitation by taking over the old world , transitioning it into the new world and using African Americans for their own selfish purposes . Columbus also exploited Natives as well . He exploited them into gold mining and implantation . He exploited Africans by turning them into slaves. Coming from the Old world , It made it even more difficult for them to escape the New World.

The European exploration lead to exploitation of the people in Africa and America.This was the job of christerfer coloumbus AKA public enemy of the aferican people number 1.This feind exploited them by killing and capturing them.Another, way he did this was making their people turn aginst each other by giving them guns and other man maid supplies. the worst way he expolited them by making them do slave work like planting and gardening ect.Inconclusion, this was the work of the feind and again the number 1 enemy of the African people.
