During the 1600s to 1750s, a few things occurred. Worldwide exchanging networks promoted more commerce, global trade intensified, and Europeans conquered and colonized more of the Americas helping the demand for African slaves in the New World to increase. In the Americas, Spain and Portugal were faced with new competitors. Those competitors were mainly England and France. With all the religious tension added to the mix, the stage was set for decades of bloody warfare for Europe and the Americas.
You actually did a REALLY good job, so I only found a few things to change! I hope that helps!!
