The+Age+of+Exploration-Daniel

**Next add your discussion of these questions:**
 * PORT 1****: Getting ready for the voyage - Start your EXPLORER'S JOURNAL (which you need to create with partner) with your CORNELL notes from Chapter 3, Section 1 of MWH pp. 92-101.**

The 15th and 16th century were a time of exploration and discovery for European nations. Taking advantage of new maritime knowledge and inventions, European powers undertook sea expeditions to expand their trade and influence.

**The possible rewards that might come from exploring the seas for new lands is gold, glory, and fame. I would also keep the countries pride by spreading Christianity.** > **The risks involved in embarking on a voyage into the unknown are the encountering of people who may be standing by their way and harsh climate and environment that might jeopardize the voyage.** **I would try to offer having a good relationship between the people I would encounter. The reason I would be cautious is because I wouldn’t want to use violence because that would worsen the relationships between each of the country. However, if these people attack me, I wouldn’t retaliate but instead fight back.**
 * What possible rewards might come from exploring the seas for new lands?
 * What are the risks involved in embarking on a voyage into the unknown?
 * What will you do if you actually run into other people?

__**Before You Leave**__

Your final task before leaving for the long voyage is FOR BOTH to look up **ONE** piece of new navigation technology you will be using so that you can teach your partner about how you will be using it. **//THIS INFORMATION COULD SAVE YOUR LIVES!//** Simply, search for ONE of the following tools and write a few sentences describing WHAT the instrument is and HOW it is used. (You can also look at p. 97 in your text to get you started.)
 * Astrolabe
 * Sextant
 * **Compass**
 * Caravel

**Compass will be the most important tool for the exploration because it is able to teach me the routes that leads to the destination. Compasses will be helpful because it will be able to guide the location that we will be heading to.** __PORT 2__ : Starting the Voyage - Getting to know your competitors. In order to beat your enemies in this race, you need to know more about them INCLUDING where they went, what their primary motivation was and the results of their explorations. We have already learned about the PORTUGUESE now let's turn our sights on to the the other European nations competing with HUMANAVIA for GLORY! Light Green: Cartier Red: Da Gama Blue: Vespucci Purple: My Way Cons:+His last voyage ended in a miserable way because his fleet broke up. || Cons:-Death due to illness in 1524 || Cons:-Many of his crew suffered from severe disease || Cons-Ran out of supplies as many of my crew died-Harsh weather conditions ||
 * **Explorer's Name** || **Sponsoring Country** || **Date(s) of Voyage(s)** || **Size of Fleet** || **Discoveries and Achievements** ||
 * Amerigo Vespucci || Spain || 492-1502 || Five ships || Pros:+North America and South America is named after him+Explored the "New World" (America)
 * Vasco da Gama || Portugal || 1st: May 1497~October 14982nd: 1499~15003rd: 1501~15024th: 1503~1504 || Four Ships170 men || Pros:+Discovery on sea route to the East+Trade with India
 * JacquesCartier || France || 1534 || N/A || Pros:+Were successful in exporting goods
 * Daniel Lim || Spain || 1507 || Four Ships300 Men || Pros:+Second Spaniard to discover India (After Columbus)+Took the easy route (using compass)

> **The causes of the African slavery started when people were yearning for power and money. Britain and America wanted to have additional workers that were able to be used without being paid. So they decided to enslave the Africans.**
 * Identify the causes of African slavery.
 * Explain the Triangular Trade Route.


 * The Triangular Trade Route was a three-way trade between Africa, America, and Europe. The Africans had an abundant number of slaves while they lacked resources. However, America and Britain lacked workers and desperately needed their aid. So in order to manipulate them without the need of paying them, they decided to trade with them.**

> **America and Britain gained profit from the slave trade. However, Africans were down in people because over the course of 300 years, they traded 9 million people. Since, there was a huge void in their population, they weren't as successful in labor as they were before.**
 * Identify the consequences of the slave trade

PORT 3: Some impacts of Europe's Age of Exploration. There were were many world-changing impacts that were results of this time period. To be sure many were positive, however, there were also many that were negative. Nonetheless, these must be studied to understand our world today...

Your next task is to look at the Atlantic Slave Trade to get a better understanding of this sad chapter in our history. __In your journals, respond to the following essential objectives as you watch the 2 short video segments and scan pages 132-136 in your text...__ > The causes of the African slavery was the hunger for power and money. In Africa, tribes were catching each oth
 * Identify the causes of African slavery.
 * Explain the Triangular Trade Route.
 * Identify the consequences of the slave trade.

TASK 2: The Columbian Exchange and Rise of Global Trade is certainly another major impact of the explorations. The colonization of the Americas introduced new items into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. AGAIN, these exchanges had POSITIVE and NEGATIVE impacts for both.

Your task for this exploration is to read and take CORNELL notes on pages 137-141. s
