Feudalism

Christopher Columbus, considered one of the greatest explorers

of all time. Like every other explorer, Columbus had many reasons for

his exploration. However, it is made obvious by studying the history

of Columbus' explorations that his main motive for exploration was

greed. Columbus had the same desires as many explorers both before and

after him. He yearned for gold. He wanted land. He wanted power. The

whole purpose for his first voyage to what he thought was India, but

turned out to be Central America, was to gain land for Spain. It took

quite a bit of sweet talking from Columbus to get the money and ships

needed for this voyage from Spain's Queen Isabella. But in the end,

Columbus had the chance to reach a goal brought on by greed: to gain

riches. Queen Isabella had the same motive. She wanted land for Spain,

and that is the only reason that she ever gave him the money and ships

The English, like other countries, voyaged to the Americas in

search of riches. It wasn't until they got there that they realized

that people already lived there. It was at that point that greed took

. . .
This greed among the English did accomplish their task of

taking land quickly, but it also accomplished the murder of thousands

of Native Americans. They used a method of mass murder called

extermination. A newer set of

laws that were not made law by the king, took power from the king and

said that he did not have total control. This set of laws, the Magna

Carta, is perhaps the most famous set of written laws ever. A greedy

king or queen can, if they have the forces needed, build their nation

quickly and effectively. A monarchy, form of government in which one person has

the hereditary right to rule as head of state during his or her

lifetime, usually presents the chance for nation building. A king wants more land, but he doesn't want a war. Nine times out of

ten, that reason was greed. With the new laws

were the guidelines as to were the laws were in effect. This meant that with each new law a

king put forth, theoretically, he could gain more land. The English did something, that by today's standards

would be considered inhuman.
