The Rise Of The West Began With The African Slave Trade

I was at Barnes and Noble bookstore the other day and I went to their history section.  I was curious and I started browsing through all these books about the rise and fall of the British Empire.  You know what they all had in common?

The first chapters all start with the white man's immigration to the America's (this includes the islands).  For Britian this mainly started at the beggining of the 17th century.  Then it goes in order like this...

1.  White man comes to America
2.  White man can't survive in America
3.  Native American Indians try to help white man
4.  White man still can't survive in America
5.  White man starts importing slaves from Africa to do white man's work

...6.  Suddenly white man's fortune changes, Britian becomes wealthy, starts dominating world polotics for next 400 years

As a footnote, you can go back even before that, and say that Europe only came out of the dark ages as a result of Islamic Spain's influence on the region.  And this ofcourse immediately relates to the white man's discovery of America; because after the Christian Spanish inquisition took over Spain, Spain soon thereafter lead the way in the white man's discovery and immigration to America.

Definatly some truth to that. But I think the Industrial Revolution played a part too. ;)
