Overseas Exploration and Conquest
•
Political centralization in Spain, France, and England helps explain their expansion.
•
Portugal led the expansion, seeking to Christianize Muslims, import gold from West Africa, find an overseas route to India to obtain Indian spices, and contact the mythical Christian ruler of Ethiopia, Prester
John.•
Beginning in 1415 the Portuguese sent their ships further down the west coast of Africa until they rounded the Cape of Good Hope and reached India in 1497–1499.
•
The Portuguese reached Brazil in 1500.•
The Portuguese fought Muslim rulers to control the Indian Ocean and won.

Technological Stimuli to Exploration
•
With the development of large cannon and their placement on heavy-hulled sailing vessels, Europeans had a naval weapon without parallel.
•
Advances in navigation, such as the compass and the astrolabe, helped navigation.

The Explorers’
Motives•
Overpopulation did not motivate the explorers; Europe wasn’t overpopulated at the time.
•
The Crusading drive was one force behind exploration.
•
So too was a shortage of opportunity in Spain for small-time nobles and merchants.
•
Government sponsorship encouraged the voyages.
•
Renaissance curiosity was a motive.•
Mostly, though, the explorers wished to get rich, in part through the spice trade.

The Economic Effects of SpainThe Economic Effects of Spain’’s s Discoveries in the New WorldDiscoveries in the New World
•
During the 1500s and 1600s there was a huge influx of precious metals into Spain from its American colonies.
•
Population increase in Spain and the establishment of new colonies created greater demand for goods in Spain. The economy could not meet the demands. Together with the influx of specie, this led to inflation.
•
Inflation caused the Spanish government to go bankrupt several times.
•
Payment of Spanish armies in bullion created inflation throughout Europe, which greatly hurt nobles on fixed incomes.

European Slavery and the European Slavery and the Origins of American RacismOrigins of American Racism
•
Before the 1400s virtually all slaves in Europe were white.
•
The Ottoman conquest of Constantinople cut off slaves from the Black Sea region.
•
With Portuguese voyages to West Africa and the occupation of the Canary and Madeira islands, slavery hooked up with sugar culture.
•
Native Americans did not survive long under conditions of slavery and forced labor.
•
The Spaniards brought in enslaved Africans as substitutes.
•
Modern racism against blacks had its origins in medieval Christian theology and to a lesser extent, medieval Arab views of the peoples of sub-Saharan Africa.
