By settling newly discovered lands.

Please correct me if I'm wrong!!! :)

By settling newly discovered lands.

Explanation:

The Europeans traveled a lot, that is how they found "The New World" which are now the Americas. They claimed the lands they arrived to, but since they were overseas, their own boarders stayed the same, they only colonized the lands they discovered and made them their own.

for the 2 countries u can do china and america because america has a democratic government while china has a communist government.

a democracy is a government run by the people either by directly voting or indirectly by electing representatives. an oligarchy is a government run by a few or a small group of people. a democracy and oligarchy are similar because both in an oligarchy and an indirect democracy, a small group of induvial determine the laws for a large group of people they are different because in an oligarchy it is easier to control and they do not have to answer to a large number of people in the country, unlike a democracy where they do have to answer to a large number of people an county that is a democracy would be the united states. a country that is an oligarchy would be the china.
