European and American history

European civilization originated from Roman civilization and Greek civilization.

Greece is a city-state, the most famous of which are Athens and Sparta. Athens attaches great importance to commerce, and the maritime traffic is very developed. They practiced democracy, but it was based on slavery. In other words, their democracy is only a minority democracy. Only adult male citizens have the right to participate in and discuss politics, while women, children, foreigners and slaves have no such right. When Perikles was in power, democracy reached its peak. Sparta is a military city-state, and the whole city-state is like a military camp. Thin babies are abandoned at birth. Men should do military service all their lives, women should practice running and archery, and be a healthy mother at the same time.

Rome is a military country, which began to rise in the 2nd century BC. At first it was a republic, but its territory expanded rapidly. Octavian became a de facto empire when he came to power.

Capitalist countries such as Britain began to colonize and expand abroad and became imperialist countries. The areas under British colonial rule mainly include India and North America. Indians once lived in North America, and they created the Mayan civilization. With the landing of the colonists, there was a massacre. Due to the shortage of labor, a large number of slaves were sold. In this way, Europeans, Indians and blacks jointly created the nation of America. This is the origin of European and American history.
