The Martian Chronicles

The Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury easily resembles the Europeans colonization of the Americas. A prime example is the people of Earth overcoming the Martian planet within only years of their arrival, and when Europeans came to the Americas they were also seen colonizing and taking over the landscape within decades. Freedom was also another noticeable part of colonization many people going to mars were in search of something away from war and all the pressures of Earth/United States government,and within years the government followed and began turning Mars into another Earth. As noticed with the Europeans invasion of the Americas the same occured with people coming for religious freedom, a new chance to live, but Everyone came to follow and turned the Americas into another Europe. The exploration of Mars can easily be shown in comparison to the colinization of the Americas, it started with Christopher Columbus and Nathaniel York, after exploration news was brought forth and the people in search of freedoms would come to escape. Following them would be higher people (wealthy/government) to break down the landscape and reform it to fit the needs of their Nation. Within exploration came calamity and endangerment to the indigenous people, literally pushing the Martians of Mars, or Native Americans away from their homeland with no respect of them. The Martian Chronicles is the perfect example of human exspansion, and the effects we have upon foreign lands.
