Chapter 10 – Displacing Indigenous Peoples (मूल निवासियों का विस्थापन)
🌍 Colonial Expansion (उपनिवेशिक विस्तार)
After the 17th century, Spanish (स्पेनिश) and Portuguese (पुर्तगाली) empires in America stopped expanding.
Other European nations like France, Holland, and England spread trade and established colonies (उपनिवेश) in America, Africa, and Asia.
🚢 Migration of Spaniards & Portuguese (स्पेनी और पुर्तगालियों का प्रवास)
In the 18th century, migrants from Spain and Portugal settled in more regions of America, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
This process forced many indigenous people (मूल निवासी) to move away from their native lands.
🏘 Colony (कॉलोनी)
In the 17th century, Europeans established settlements overseas.
Such settlements were called Colonies (उपनिवेश).
🏳️ Independence of Colonies (उपनिवेशों को देश का दर्जा)
👥 Settlers (आबादकार)
Term used for Dutch in South Africa, British in Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, and Europeans in America.

Derived from the local word Kamberra, meaning "meeting place" (सभा स्थल).
✨ The Gold Rush (गोल्ड रश)

✝️ Protestants and some Catholics left Europe to escape dominance and start a new life.
🌾 Settlers grew new crops (not found in Europe) to earn profits.
