When brought to trial, Tituba confessed and accused others of witchcraft, sparking hysteria in Salem.

However, many native-born Americans grew wary of the cultural changes brought by immigration and blamed newcomers for issues like low wages and overcrowded living conditions. Laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act aimed to stem the flow of immigrants.Hitler and Nazi Germany - appeal of the hitler and the nazis by mrmarr, has 26 slides with 7650 views.

The Age of Exploration lasted from 1450 to 1750 and was driven by Europeans' desire to find new trade routes to Asia. Before this period, Europeans only knew parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. They traded luxury goods like spices along the Silk Road, but its closure in 1453 cut off this route. Europeans then sought new maritime routes to Asia and its riches. Technological developments during the Renaissance, such as the caravel ship, lateen sails, astrolabe, compass, and cannons enabled Europeans to explore westward across the Atlantic.Golden age of islam 2015 january by Janet Pareja, has 73 slides with 6006 views.

During the 15th and 16th centuries, European explorers sailed to previously unknown parts of the world inspired by greed, curiosity, and glory. Key figures included Marco Polo, whose accounts of China intrigued Europeans, and Prince Henry of Portugal, who sponsored voyages down the coast of Africa. Major breakthroughs included Bartolomeu Dias rounding the Cape of Good Hope in 1488 and Vasco da Gama reaching India in 1498, establishing a direct trade route and bypassing Arab middlemen. Christopher Columbus' voyages to the Americas beginning in 1492 opened that part of the world to European colonization, though he did not achieve his goal of finding a direct route to Asia.Christopher Columbus by lolaceituno, has 31 slides with 7812 views.

Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who made four voyages between Spain and the Americas between 1492 and 1503. These voyages marked the beginning of European colonization of the Americas. Columbus wrongly estimated the distance between Europe and Asia and believed he had reached Asia when he landed in the Bahamas, not realizing he had discovered a new continent. While Columbus opened the door for European colonization, he faced increasing difficulties governing the colonies and was imprisoned for a year due to accusations of tyrannical rule before returning to Spain, where he died still convinced he had reached Asia.Columbus' voyages by Coneyhame, has 14 slides with 11862 views.

The Search For Spices
The Search For Spicesjamesmiessau Europeans sought to gain direct access to Asian goods by exploring new trade routes, bypassing Middle Eastern merchants. Portugal led the way in the 1400s by exploring along the western coast of Africa under Prince Henry. In 1497, Vasco da Gama reached India, acquiring spices at huge profits. This opened the sea route to Asia and led Portugal to seize key ports in the Indian Ocean. Christopher Columbus mistakenly reached the Americas in 1492 while seeking a western route to Asia, leading to European discovery of the new continents.
