In the 100 years since Columbus discovered the American continent, the population of the Indians has plummeted from 70 million to less than 1 million.
In this regard, the explanation in Western history books is that because European colonizers set foot on this paradise, they inadvertently brought smallpox, measles and other infectious diseases that Indians could not resist, resulting in a rapid decline in the number of Indians.
But is that really the case?The results of a survey on the genetic study of Native Americans have completely lifted the fig leaf ...... the West
In 1942, the famous Italian explorer Christopher Columbus embarked on an expedition to India and China. But this time Columbus did not succeed in reaching India and China, but discovered the New World of AmericaThis is a land that has not been fully developed, and the Aboriginal people still maintain a relatively primitive way of life.
When the Indians saw the heavily armed Spaniards for the first time, they looked at their ships and guns and thought they had seen gods, so they kept praying in front of them in awe. But what they didn't expect was that these "gods" did not bring them salvation, but smallpox, malaria and other infectious diseases that ruthlessly took their lives.
These whites relied on their more advanced technology and civilization to begin their bloody conquest of the AmericasIn 300 years, there is only 0005% of the indigenous people survived.
For the isolated Indians, exotic infectious diseases were one of the causes of their mass deaths, but they were by no means the root cause.
In 1518, smallpox first entered the American continent, and the Europeans, who had developed antibodies to smallpox, were not affected, but the Indians who did not suffer were tormented.
The British colonists, seeing that they could not resist smallpox, even used the smallpox virus as the ** to rule the American continent.
They first made peace with the hypocrisy, and then gave smallpox-stained clothing and bedding to the Indians, causing smallpox to spread quickly and ruthlessly wreak havoc on the land, claiming nearly a third of the Indians' lives in just ten years.
The otherwise peaceful land was full of people who died of smallpox, and in the face of enemy aggression, the infected Indians had no choice but to watch as the land where they had lived for generations was occupied.
Smallpox was just the beginning of a nightmare, with measles, mumps, and yellow fever ensuing, and in tropical America, Indians with weakened immune systems became breeding grounds for all kinds of viruses.
However, the good Indians did not think that this was a disaster brought on them by outsiders, but that they had angered God, that it was God's punishment, and even hoped to be forgiven by God under the protection of white people.
The result is obvious: they are not blessed by the whites, and more exploitation awaits them.
In the centuries that followed, Europeans frantically built factories and military bases in this resource-rich land, and completed capital accumulation by enslaving and exploiting the indigenous peoples, and infectious diseases became the perfect shield for invaders.
But the truth won't be hidden forever, and the latest genetic research results have exposed centuries-old lies in the West.
According to the latest genetic research, among the Mestizo Indians in Latin America, more than 90% of their paternal genes are from European males, and only about 1% are from Indian males, when the maternal genes are all Indians.
So, what caused the Indian males to near disappear?
Viruses such as smallpox and malaria certainly do not only infect men, which means that Indian males have suffered deliberately**.
The Americas are rich in mineral resources, gold, silver, and copper ore resources are innumerable, and the colonists gathered the Indians together by various means in order to obtain rich resources, and ordered them to go to the mines.
Over the course of 300 years, nearly eight million Indians lost their lives to the mining of Mount Potosi. The exploiters never think about the lives of the exploited, after all, in their opinion, there is no difference between Indians and cattle such as cattle and horses. If you escape, you will be killed directly, and if there are not enough people, you will be arrested, after all, there is no shortage of Indians in the Americas.
Under the exploitation of the colonizers and the ravages of infectious diseases, the number of indigenous people fell off a cliff. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that behind the rapid development of the early West was the accumulation of bones of the Indians.
In the 18th century, the North American colonies decided to unite against British rule, and the War of Independence began. In 1776, Washington issued the Declaration of Independence, and the United States of America was established under the banner of freedom, independence, and equality.
The Declaration of Independence wrote that all men are created equal, and everyone has the right to pursue freedom and happiness, but the Indians did not usher in liberation, and the first thing the United States did was to comprehensively encircle and suppress the Indians.
Washington, the first president of the United States, said that Indian skins were best suited for boots;Roosevelt said that Indians are best only when they die;Lincoln even said that the Americans should kill an Indian every ten minutes.
In 1818, the United States issued a brutal decreeMen and women, young and old, as long as they are United States citizens, can receive $50,100 for every Indian scalp they turnThis was an extermination of the Indians.
In the diary of the famous US Army General Sheridan, the tragic situation of the Indians is described in great detail. Indian males are cut off*** with limbs cut off and scalped;Indian women were violated and finally brutally killed.
According to relevant data, since the founding of the United States, there have been more than 1,500 unilateral attacks on Indians. In 1891, the New York Times also celebrated the Indians as a great achievement.
However, this was not enough, and the United States adopted a more radical assimilation policy, wanting to exterminate the race at its roots.
In 1830, the United States passed the "Indian Removal Act", about 100,000 or so Indians were forced to move from their homeland, and the tribes who did not want to leave would be sent by the United States.
In addition, the United States has completely eliminated the Indian race in terms of education and culture, not allowing them to learn Xi their own culture, and prohibiting them from speaking national languages and wearing national costumes.
We know that children are the hope of the future of a nation, and the United States forced Indian children to enter closed schools to study Xi, completely cutting off the possibility of them accepting their own national culture.
