C. Analyze sources and explain how they support a thesis statement.

Create a thesis statement that appropriately responds to the sources provided


Part II:

Taking a look at empires and global trading networks during a period of imperial expansion. How do the sources yield information about empires, and what they pursued in the New World. Please explain if the images and documents provided yield a sufficient account of what the experience was like for both natives and European exploration and conquest.
