1492, Christopher Columbus discovers America. The exploitation of the new territories led to the creation of a global economy, organized around great powers that exercised political, military and cultural domination. Colonialism violated the "right of peoples to self-determination", as defined in the United Nations Charter of 1945, and indigenous peoples' liberation movements multiplied in the 20th century, often with violence.
