"There Goes the Neighborhood"

"There Goes the Neighborhood"

Typically when two or more groups come together and inherit the same territory there can be a mix of effects. One of the many possibilities are that the two (or more) groups may come together and make one big combined society. Another one of the outcomes can be where one group dominates the other, which is what typically happens. One example of the many examples of when this has happened is how the European conquerors took over much of North and South America. The Indians that they had conquered treated them very nice, almost like gods, and the Europeans basically treated them like slaves. The Indians gave them very important and valuable items like gold and fur, while the Europeans gave them thing that they didn't need like broken glass for example. The Indians later basically regretted treating the Europeans so well. But this are some of the possibilities that can happen when two or more groups of people share the same space.
