Chapter 13 talks about the development of the Empires and encounters in the time period of 1450-1750.
The early Modern Era from 1450-1750 when empire building was a global process. Empire building  during the twentieth and twenty - first century was difficult as well as " imperialist" it had became a source of insult rather than joy and pride. Massive changes occurred  old societies had been destroyed and new societies had arose as Native Americans, Europeans and Africans came into contact with one another for the first time in world history. 
Positive &  Negative of  Imperialism
         The Great Dying Enormous death toll caused by Old World diseases such as smallpox,measles,typhus, influenza,malaria, and later yellow fever.  In many cases losing up to 90 percent of the population. this is heartbreaking that so many people died.Smallpox is the most devastating diseases known to humanity. Many died from this plague but many others died of hunger. Due to them not being able to get up to search for food and everyone else being sick to care for them they starved to death in their beds. If they would have had the right resources to be able to have the food they needed they would have been able to survive.
