When the first Europeans arrived in the 1500s, particularly the Portuguese, the Japanese responded with a mix of curiosity and cautious engagement. They were intrigued by foreign goods and technologies, such as firearms, which they began to adopt. However, this initial openness gradually shifted as Japan sought to limit foreign influence, leading to the Sakoku policy in the early 17th century, which restricted foreign contact and trade.
In the 1500s, Americans primarily traded goods such as precious metals, including gold and silver, as well as valuable commodities like tobacco, sugar, and cotton with Europeans. This trade was part of the broader Columbian Exchange, which facilitated the exchange of various agricultural products, animals, and technologies between the Americas and Europe. Additionally, Europeans often exchanged manufactured goods, textiles, and firearms in return. The trade significantly impacted economies and cultures on both sides of the Atlantic.
In the late 1400s and early 1500s, European explorers and colonizers were able to expand their territories in the Americas largely due to the devastating impact of diseases such as smallpox and measles, which decimated Indigenous populations. This demographic collapse weakened Indigenous resistance, allowing Europeans to establish settlements and exploit resources with relative ease. The resulting power imbalance facilitated the rapid colonization and exploitation of vast areas of the Americas.
