In this course, participants will survey the broad causes of the cataclysm in the first and fourth sessions. We will watch two the best movies ever made (one Canadian, one American) that portray it clearly. In our final session we will show how the bets of intentions went dreadfully wrong almost from the beginning of the colonies in New France, New England, the Spanish Colonies and Brazil, and we will explain why that happened and how very different motives in Europe all led to the same catastrophe in the Americas.
