Next StepsLook at the thesis you wrote.A thesis should Answer the question Provide an argument Give three reasons why Be written as one sentence
Motives for ExplorationNeed a route by sea to Asia (India and
China)The Ottoman Empire, due to its conquests,
controls the land route to Asia Motives for European exploration:
God – spread their faith to new landsGlory – want fame and adventureGold – search for wealth
Able to expand due to new technologies:Better ships and cartography (map-making)New technologies from the Arabs, such as the
compass and astrolabe
Portugal Takes the LeadPortugal was the first country to launch
large-scale voyages of explorationIn 1420 Prince Henry the Navigator
sponsors expeditions to sail along the western coast of AfricaHis ultimate goal was to find a water route
around Africa to IndiaPortuguese sailors learned that both gold and
slaves were available on Africa’s west coastBartholomeu Dias was the first European
to sail around the tip of Africa looking for a route to India in 1488 – he was forced to turn back due to violent storms
Vasco da Gama set out for India in 1497 and ten months later he became the first European to reach India by sea Brings back a cargo of spice, makes a profit of
several thousand percentPedro Cabral sailed to the west and
ended up sighting and claiming land that became known as Brazil
The Portuguese were interested in setting up trading centers, not interested in conquering They took the spice trade from the Muslims by
forceHad the advantage since they put cannons on
their ships
Spain Sails WestWhile the Portuguese sailed east to reach
the source of the spice trade, the Spanish sailed west
Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain financed Christopher Columbus to sail west to reach Asia in 1492Columbus thinks that the circumference of the
world is not as large as others thought it wasReaches Cuba in 1492, but thinks he is in Asia,
on islands known as the IndiesSails a total of four missions – explores many
Caribbean islands and Honduras, which he names the Indies and calls the people Indians
The Spanish call Columbus a hero since they think he has found a new route to Asia
In 1502 Amerigo Vespucci sailed along the coast of South America and he finally realized that this wasn’t Asia, but a new landIt is later named America in his honor and the
Spanish set out to explore itVasco Nunez de Balboa led an expedition
across the Isthmus of Panama and became the first European to view the Pacific Ocean
Ferdinand Magellan decided to sail west around the world in 1519 with five ships and 250 menMagellan was killed in a fight in the Philippines
against the native people but his men continued on
In 1522 18 survivors from Magellan’s expedition arrived back in Spain, the first people to ever circumnavigate the world
Treaty of Tordesillas – signed by both Spain and Portugal in 1494 that gives a line of demarcation dividing their new territoriesEach feared that the other would claim some
of its newly discovered territoriesThe treaty gives an imaginary north-to-south
line through the Atlantic Ocean and the easternmost part of South AmericaEverything west of this line went to Spain and Portugal got everything east of the line
Other ExplorersJohn Cabot sailed to and explored the
Atlantic coast of Canada and New EnglandHe set out on a second voyage, but his entire
fleet vanishedSir Francis Drake sailed around the tip of
South America and explored its west coastHe stopped in what is now California and then
went on to become the second man to circumnavigate the globe
Henry Hudson explored parts of eastern America and had a river and a bay named after him
Jacques Cartier sailed past the island of Newfoundland into the St. Lawrence river
He claimed all the land along the river as the province of New France (Canada)
Explorers and their Routes

Research a Native American tribe in the United States. Use SPICE to discuss aspects of their culture. Do you still see any effects of exploitation today?
