The colonialist Europeans took or stole millions and millions worth of gold and silver from the new world, mainly Mexico and South America. This huge amount of wealth robbed from the colonies impoverished Mexico and South America for five centuries. It brought the level of Europe up out the ignorance of the middle ages. It did raise their lives up like a winning lottery ticket. These white Europeans, who were ultra colonialists, prejudiced toward native peoples of America, lifted themselves on the backs of brown and black people.
