IN THE EARLY SIXTEENTH CENTURY, TO WHOM WERE THE AMERICAN CONTINENTS A "NEW WORLD"? AND WHO MIGHT HAVE TAKEN OFFENSE AT THAT TERM?

The British, Chinese, Russian, and all those countries on the other side considered this a “new world” but the natives would have taken offense because it wasn’t actually new, they had been living there for a while.

Hope this helps!!!
