Question
Read the short essay below and answer the questions. What does the writer think would have happened if China had reached the Americans before the Europeans?
Answer
The writer thinks the Chinese would have seen the incredible size of the land and the riches in the ground, returned with more men, attacked the Native Americans and stolen their land, created new communities, brought their technology and farmed the land and got rich. The new Chinese colony would have grown and grown and perhaps they would have later spread to other lands.
