    The Struggle for North America The seizing of North America by the Europeans is done largely without weapons. Of course weapons and warfare play a large part, but the Europeans don’t sail over and begin conquering their New World. European exploration began with the desire for trade and to spread religion. Finding the Indians offered them the chance to do both. These people had never seen anything like the Europeans and were mostly receptive to new goods to trade, and were willing to listen to new religious ideas.

A settler reported how “it pleased God to visite these Indeans with a great sickness, and such a mortalitie that of a 1000 above 900. And a halfe of them dyed.” These were not one-time events either; the Indians were plagued by recurring pandemics every 5 to 10 years, leaving no opportunity to recover from earlier losses.

    Here Begins The Chronicles of Euronea or the Eurondainwe as a part of all the accounts of Euronea in its libraries Prologue As far as sight may see from the north-eastern coast to the south there stretched a great wall. A majestic and breathtaking sight it was, and the wall was lined and dotted by red torch-light, shining from the wall noticible from miles away and yonder, on both land and sea, gaudily outlined in the night where shining silver-white rays rain upon and towards the…

    The Power of Language in Shakespeare 's Othello In Othello, the contamination of linguistic matter (whether through verbal or human associations, through deliberate perversion, or by senseless mouthing of meaninglessness) ultimately destroys the ordered control of normal behaviour patterns, personal or social (Shaw 306).
