Early Exploration
Do Now # 8
• It is common for us all to have curiosity about an
unknown place/thing.
• What have you wanted to explore, or been curious
about?
• As a child did you ever want to go on an adventure to
discover new things? Did you?
• Share your story about exploration and
discovery…everyone has one!
Motives for Exploration
• The Renaissance encouraged a new spirit of adventure and
curiosity.
• Spice and other goods traded with Asia, during and after the
Crusades, and was very profitable for merchants.
• Overseas exploration could provide new products for merchants to
sell.
• Muslims and Italians controlled the trade of goods from east to
west
• Italians would buy Asian goods from the Muslims, then increase
the price before sold to merchants.
• By the 1400s Monarchs of England, Spain, Portugal, & France had
enough of the Italians high prices, and set out to find sea routes to
Asia to trade directly.
God, Glory, & Gold!
• After the Crusades(1096-1270), Christians felt that they
had a sacred duty to not only continue to fight the
Muslims, but to convert non-christians.
“To serve God and his
majesty, to give light to
those who were in
darkness and to grow rich
as all men deserve to.”
- Bartolomeu Dias
Sailing Technology
• In the 1400s shipbuilders
fashioned a new type of
ship called the
caravel.Prior to the caravel,
ships could not sail against
the wind.
• The astrolabe - allowed
sailors to calculate their
latitude or how far north
or south of the equator
they were.
• Explorers also used the
magnetic compass to track
direction.
Portugal Leads the Way!
• Prince Henry of Portugal pushed to find
new trade routes for gold and to spread
Christianity.
• Henry founded a navigation school
where map & instrument makers,
shipbuilders scientists and captains
could perfect their trade.
• By 1419 - The Portuguese had
established trading posts around
Africa’s coast (making profit from ivory
& gold) - next was to find a sea route to
Asia via the tip of Africa.
• 1488- Bartolomeu Dias - attempts and
makes it to the southeastern coast but,
turns back due to low supplies.
• 1497 - Vasco da Gama explorers the
Southwestern coast of India and comes
back with 60 times the cost of the trip in
rare silks, spices and precious gems. This
gives Portugal a direct sea route to Asia.
Spain vs. Portugal
• 1492 - Italian Christopher Columbus convinced
Spain to finance finding a trade route to Asia
by sailing across the Atlantic ocean.
• Columbus reaches an island in the Caribbean,
believing he had reached the East Indies.
• The rivalry between Spain and Portugal grew Portugal states that lands Columbus claimed
for Spain may have been already reached by
the Portuguese.
• 1493 - Pope Alexander VI suggests an
imaginary line through the Atlantic Ocean. All
lands West would be Spain’s, and all lands
East would be Portugal's.
• 1494-Spain and Portugal sign the Treaty of
Tordesilla, agreeing to honor the imaginary
line.

The Atlantic World
Background
• European colonists tried to meet their labor needs by enslaving Native Americans or
using indentured servants.
• death of millions of Native Americans from disease led to a chronic labor shortage
• Europeans turned to Africa. Enslaved Africans became part of the series of trading
networks that exchanged goods for slaves and crisscrossed the American colonies,
Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa.
• Portuguese settlement of Brazil
• Demand for slaves grew massively as Brazil’s sugar industry expanded.
• African rulers
• Some African rulers helped deliver slaves to Europeans in exchange for goods.
• African merchants
• They bought and sold slaves.
• When African rulers opposed the slave trade, merchants developed new trade
routes.
Atlantic Slave Trade
• The buying and selling of
Africans for work in the
Americas became known as
the Atlantic Slave Trade.
• Triangular trade: carried
manufactured goods to Africa,
where they were exchanged
for slaves. Slaves were carried
to the Americas and
exchanged for raw
agricultural products, such as
sugar, coffee, and tobacco,
which were carried to Europe
and sold.
• Middle passage: Captured
Africans were transported
under horrific conditions
along the middle leg of the
triangular trade routes.
Effects of Slave Trade
• population drain, introduction of guns that helped spread
war and devastation
• separation from families, harsh lives.
• provided economic, cultural development, and farming
expertise that helped many colonies survive.
• knowledgeable Africans introduced rice-growing techniques
that made South Carolina a profitable rice producer.
• addition of Africans to population group, mixed-race
populations, cultural additions, cultural blending

The Columbian Exchange
Do Now #11
Where did the ingredients come from?
Analyzing Snickers
• Old world to New World
•
•
•
•
Sugar - 1st discovered in India.
Chickens - parts of Asia.
Soybean - Korea.
Cows - Asia, Europe & North Africa.
• New World to Old World
• Cocoa
• Peanuts
Background
• Colonization resulted in the exchange of new items.
• The new wealth from the Americas resulted in new
business and trade practices for Europe.
• The global transfer of foods, plants and animals during
colonization of the Americas is known as the Columbian
Exchange named after Christopher Columbus.
• Two of the most important items to be brought to
Europe was corn and potatoes, which were both
inexpensive to grow and nutritious.
Pros & Cons of the Exchange
• Many of new animals and plants were introduced to
both Europe and the Americas played a significant role
in boosting populations.
• New products were manufactured using goods from
both Europe and the Americas.
• Various diseases were brought to the Americas that
Native Americans were not immune to resulting in many
deaths.
• Slaves were traded more frequently because of the
demand for American crops.
Capitalism & Stocks
• Capitalism: an economic system based on private
owner-ship and investment for profit.
• Numerous merchants gained wealth & numerous
businesses across Europe flourished.
• The increase in economic activity led to an increase in
the money supply resulting in inflation.
• Inflation occurs when there is more money to spend
thus demanding more goods - the price in goods then
increases due to lack of supply to meet the demand.
• Joint-stock company: worked like a modern day
cooperation, investors buy shares of stock to invest in a
company. (pooling wealth for a common purpose)
Restaurant Activity
• Take out the name of the recipe that you looked into for
homework
• Using the Internet please look up your recipe for the dish of
your choice and write down the ingredients.
• Locate the country of origin in which you can find the
ingredients and color code the map, listing the ingredients
that you have imported from the country to make your dish.
Make sure you include a key so we know what dish you are
talking about.
• Your final product should be a color-coded map and
ingredient list. Provided.

manufactured goods to
Africa, where they were
exchanged for slaves. Slaves

Where did the ingredients come from?
Analyzing Snickers
• Old world to New World
– Sugar - 1st discovered in India.
– Chickens - parts of Asia.
– Soybean - Korea.
– Cows - Asia, Europe & North Africa.
• New World to Old World
– Cocoa

Background
• Colonization resulted in the exchange of new
items.
• The new wealth from the Americas resulted in new
business and trade practices for Europe.
• The global transfer of foods, plants and animals
during colonization of the Americas is known as
the Columbian Exchange named after Christopher
Columbus.
• Two of the most important items to be brought to
Europe was corn and potatoes, which were both
inexpensive to grow and nutritious.
Pros & Cons of the Exchange
• Many of new animals and plants were introduced
to both Europe and the Americas played a
significant role in boosting populations.
• New products were manufactured using goods
from both Europe and the Americas.
• Various diseases were brought to the Americas
that Native Americans were not immune to
resulting in many deaths.
• Slaves were traded more frequently because of the
demand for American crops.
Capitalism & Stocks
• Capitalism: an economic system based on private
owner-ship and investment for profit.
• Numerous merchants gained wealth & numerous
businesses across Europe flourished.
• The increase in economic activity led to an
increase in the money supply resulting in inflation.
• Inflation occurs when there is more money to
spend thus demanding more goods - the price in
goods then increases due to lack of supply to
meet the demand.
• Joint-stock company: worked like a modern day
cooperation, investors buy shares of stock to
invest in a company. (pooling wealth for a
common purpose)
