Early Invaders - Julius Caesar's Raid on Britain:
Julius Caesar invaded Britain twice, in 55 BC and 54 BC. Presumably this brilliantly successful Roman commander envisaged no difficulties in overcoming the wild Celtic Britons who inhabited the island. The natives, however, had some nasty surprises for Caesar.
Before Julius Caesar and his army of 10,000 soldiers landed i
n 55 BC, the Romans' concept of Britain was comparatively vague. The only solid facts that Caesar knew were that the Britons had aided their fellow Celts in Gaul in resisting the Romans and that they had sheltered refugees who managed to get away. Otherwise the Romans regarded Britain as a wild, mysterious place ruled by terrifying priest-magicians, the Druids. To them, ISOLA SACRA, the sacred isle, as they called it, had an aura of superstitious dread. The Romans also mistakenly believed that Britain was a rich source of pearls and gold. Moreover they were invaded by Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans armies and later Africans were brought to Britain by force in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as slaves or servants.
The Conquest of Colombia led by the Spanish empire in America. The Spanish first sailed to the shores of what is now Colombia was an expedition sent by Alonso de Ojeda on the coast of the peninsula of La Guajira in the Cabo de la Vela, among them Juan de la Cosa, but never landed . In 1502 Juan de la Cosa organized their own expedition and returned to La Guajira, landing in 1502.
The most notable of the Spanish colonization was miscegenation, due almost exclusively to the relationship that had Spanish men with indigenous women. With the arrival of Spanish colonists, European diseases (smallpox, influenza, measles and typhus) to which native populations had no resistance, and working systems such as farms and way of mining, where natives remained in a semi-slavery regime decimated the American population.
Today, the population of Latin American countries share indigenous ancestors, Europeans and Africans to varying degrees
