The Need for Exploration -
Gold, Glory and God
There was a demand for gold, species and
natural resources in Europe
 During the crusades Europeans
had been introduced to luxury
goods and spices from Asia and
after the war Europeans still
demanded these goods
 With the loss of Constantinople in
1453, European nations needed
new maritime (sea ) routes for
trade
 Spices such as nutmeg, ginger and
cinnamon and pepper added flavor
to the bland foods in Europe.
There was support for the diffusion
(spreading) of Christianity
 After the Crusades,
European nations believed
they had a duty to convert
non-Christians throughout
the world
 Dias wrote, “ to serve God
and His Majesty, to give
light to those who are in
darkness and to grow rich
as all men desire to do”
Political and economic competition
between European empires
 European nations each wanted the prestige
and respect that comes with an important
discovery
There were many innovations in navigational
arts because of both Europeans and
Muslims.
 The Caravel ship was created.
The caravel was sturdier than
other vessels. It also had
triangle sails which allowed it
to sail effectively in the wind
 Astrolabe ( Muslims)- help
sailors determine their location
on the sea.
 Magnetic Compass
(
Chinese)
Prince Henry helped Portugal take the
lead in the exploration race
 1419- he founded a navigational
school on the southwestern coast of
Portugal
 Mapmakers, instrument makers,
shipbuilder, scientist and sea
captions gathered there to perfect
their trade
