How did cultural background affect the nature and outcome of contact between two distinct groups of people in a specific realm of the Atlantic World?

Contact, Conquest, and Adaptation

[CLOs: 1, 2, 6]

The development of different realms in the Atlantic world was conditioned by contact between Europeans, Africans, and indigenous Americans, including the men and women of each group, not to mention the multiple cultures categorized under each of these broad categories. The contact between peoples took on many forms, including, but not limited to conquest, collaboration, animosity, alliance, conversion, resistance, dominance, and subversion. A recurring theme, however, is adaptation, whether by choice, force, or a combination of factors, influenced by the respective cultural backgrounds of each group. This adaptation, in turn, can be understood more broadly as an example of change or continuity over time.
