Ch. 20 pp. 589-606

This section basically talked about the different waves of Colonialism. The first wave was in North and South America by Spain and Portugal (Iberia) and England and France. This wave resulted in a major demographic change in the county with increasingly huge numbers of people rapidly multiplying. The intent of this wave of colonialism was to stay in North and South America which is why the travelers brought their families and wives. The second wave was the wave on Colonialism in Africa and Asia. This wave was drastically contrasting to the wave in North and South America. This wave was deliberate, whereas the other wave was accidental. And it was by B=Germany, Belgium, Japan, England, and the US (non-Iberian). The demographic change was very little in this case and the travelers came temporarily to administrate, not to settle.
