Question

Do you think it was moral for European

nations to claim lands in the Americas that were
already inhabited by natives? Why or why not?

Answer 1

It was not right for the Europeans to claim the land which was already inhabitants by the indigenous people. Before the arrival of the Europeans in the New World, Natives American were living quietly and thriving with enormous natural resources which they got accustomed. With the arrival of the European, they not only brought settlers but diseases that wiped out the entire civilizations and tribes in America. Europeans nation claimed lands for their benefits, mostly to generate wealth by exploiting natural resources.

Answer 2

No, it was not moral because it disrupts what they are already trying to fix. When the people come to take over, the people have no more freedom, they have to listen the people that take over. And the people that take over want money, resources, and land, so that makes it even worse for them because of the fact that they are going through all of their resources, and losing their land faster making them even more poor. Sometimes it isn't morally a good thing because many people can get killed or that the empire does not care about the country's health. Hope this helps! Have a good day.
