The history of America is a branch of that of Europe. The
discovery, exploration, and settlement of the New World were
results of European movements, and sprang from economic and
political needs, development of enterprise, and increase of
knowledge, in the Old World. The fifteenth century was a period of
extension of geographical knowledge, of which the discovery of
America was a part; the sixteenth century was a time of
preparation, during which European events were taking place which
were of the first importance to America, even though none of the
colonies which were to make up the United States were yet in
existence. From the time of the settlement forward, the only
population of America that has counted in history has been of
European origin. The institutions that characterize the New World
are fundamentally those of Europe.
