Chapter twenty talks about expansion and colonial encounters. Colonial rule was becoming popular among many countries. The countries that showed the most interest were: France, Britain, Italy, Germany, Portuguese, Belgium, and Russia. Depending on which class you were apart of or which gender you were during the colonial era you would express different experiences of the era between each other.
There were to waves of European conquest. The first expansion was to the Americas while the second wave was the expansion to Asia and Africa. I wonder why the Europeans went to the Americas first when Africa and Asia are closer?
