Name Date Class As European explorers made discoveries on their ocean voyages, many writers began to consider the proper way to relate to new people and different ways of life. A lawyer by profession, Michel Montaigne (1533–1592) retired to his estate in the Enrichment Activity 13 Bordeaux region of France in 1571 to write a collection of essays that was first pub- lished in 1580. In his Essais, Montaigne gives his personal opinion on a range of issues of the day. Read the following excepts from his essay “On Cannibals.” The European View of the Americas DIRECTIONS: Answer the questions below in the space provided. 1. Why does Montaigne hesitate to guess whether there are additional new countries to be discovered?_____________________________________________________________________ 2. How might Montaigne’s observation that “our eyes are bigger than our stomachs” be related to the European conquest of the Americas? __________________________________ 3. How does Montaigne characterize the people who live in the Americas? _______________ 4. In what does Montaigne find fault with the way Europeans perceive their own social customs? _______________________________________________________________________ 5. Ethnocentrism is the attitude that one’s own ethnic group, culture, or nation is superior to all others. It is the belief that one has the best religion, the best political system, and the most accomplished way of doing things. How far have people come since Montaigne’s time in acknowledging and exploring other people’s “differences” as poten- tially equal or superior to their own? ______________________________________________ I had with me for a long time a man who had lived ten or twelve years in that other world which has been discovered in our time, in the place where Villegaignon landed [Brazil], and which he called Antarctic France. This discovery of so vast a country seems to me worth reflecting on. I should not care to pledge myself that another may not be discovered in the future, since so many greater men than we have been wrong about this one. I am afraid that our eyes are bigger than our stomachs, and that we have more curiosity than understanding. We grasp at everything, but catch nothing except wind. . . . I do not believe, from what I have been told about this people, that there is anything barbarous or savage about them, except that we call barbarous anything that is contrary to our own habits. Indeed we seem to have no other criterion of truth and reason than the type and kind of opinions and customs current in the land where we live. There we always see the perfect religion, the perfect political system, the perfect and most accomplished way of doing everything.

A Letter by Christopher Columbus A s you know, Christopher Columbus was trying to reach China when he “discovered” America and the islands of the Caribbean. On February 13, 1493, he wrote a letter to Santangel, the Spanish gov- ernment official who had persuaded Queen Isabella to finance his expedition. Below is part of Columbus’s letter, followed by an interpretation by modern historian Daniel J. Boorstin. Guided Reading In this selection, read to learn Columbus’s account of the voyage and compare it to Boorstin’s interpretation. When I reached Juana [Cuba], I followed its coast to the westward, and found it so large that I thought it must be the mainland,—the province of Cathay [China]; and, as I found neither towns nor villages on the seacoast, but only a few ham- lets, with the inhabitants of which I could not hold conversation because they all immediately fled, I kept on the same route. . . . . . . The lands are high and there are many very lofty mountains. . . . [The islands] are all most beautiful, of a thousand different shapes, accessible, and covered with trees of a thousand kinds of such great height that they seemed to reach the skies. . . . The nightingale was singing as well as other birds of a thousand different kinds; and that, in November, the month in which I myself was roaming amongst them. There are palm-trees of six or eight kinds, wonderful in their beautiful variety; but this is the case with all the other trees and fruits and grasses; trees, plants, or fruits filled us with admiration. It con- tains extraordinary pine groves, and very exten- sive plains. There is also honey, a great variety of birds, and many different kinds of fruits. In the interior there are many mines of metals and a population innumerable. . . . The inhabitants of this and of all the other islands I have found or gained intelligence of, both men and women, go as naked as they were born. . . . They have nei- ther iron, nor steel, nor arms, nor are they com- petent to use them, not that they are not well- formed and of handsome stature, but because they are timid to a surprising degree. On my reaching the Indies, I took by force, in the first island that I discovered, some of these natives that they might learn our language and give me information in regard to what existed in these parts; and it so happened that they soon understood us and we them, either by words or signs, and they have been very serviceable to us. . . . I find that they . . . believe that I come from heaven. . . . They assure me that there is another island . . . in which the inhabitants have no hair. It is extremely rich in gold. . . . Finally, and speaking only of what has taken place in this voyage . . . their Highnesses may see that I shall give them all the gold they require, if they will give me but a little assistance; spices also, and cotton, as much as their Highnesses shall command to be shipped; and mastic [resin used in varnishes], hitherto found only in Greece . . . slaves, as many of these idolators as their Highnesses shall command to be shipped. I think also I have found rhubarb and cinnamon, and shall find a thousand other valuable things. Boorstin’s Interpretation On shipboard off the Azores in mid- February 1493, returning from his first voyage, Columbus wrote his own report of what he thought, and wanted others to think, that he had accomplished. . . . Columbus, having convinced himself that a trip across the Western Ocean would take him to the Indies, now set about convincing a wider audience. He had a heavy vested interest in his destination actually being the Indies. . . . Columbus was careful not to mention disasters or near disasters—the loss of the flagship, Santa Maria, the insubordination of Martín Alonso Pinzón, the commander of the Pinta, or the muti- P RIMARY S OURCE READING13 APPLICATION AND ENRICHMENT APPLICATION AND ENRICHMENT History Simulation Activity 13 L1 Game Card 5 You have encountered an uncharted planet much like Earth, with many resources.

Name Date Class During the period of colonial expansion, the major joint-stock companies who sought to do business in Asia were known as the East India Companies. These companies were given unprecedented political author- ity by their home countries. Within their ter- ritories, they had power to pass legislation, wage war, negotiate treaties, issue their own currency, and administer their own justice. At its height, the Dutch East India Company maintained more than 10,000 of its own sol- diers, 40 warships, and 150 merchant ships. Joint-stock companies, however, are not just a thing of the past. Today, needless to say, joint-stock com- panies still function but without the same degree of authority. Contemporary joint- stock companies are still organized by indi- viduals who invest a specific sum of money. Each investor is given a share of stock in the company in proportion to the amount of money he or she has invested. Although the purpose of the company is to make money for all of the stockholders, an indi- vidual stockholder can never lose more than he or she initially invested. For example, if you invested $5,000 in a joint-stock company, you might own 5 per- cent of its total stock; therefore, you would receive 5 percent of the company’s total profit for the year. If the company made a profit of $50,000, you would receive 5 per- cent of this profit or $2,500. If the company you invested in failed to make a profit or lost money, the most you could lose was your initial $5,000 investment. Historical Significance Activity 13 Joint-Stock Companies ! DIRECTIONS: Answer the following questions in the space provided. 1. What might be some advantages of investing in a joint-stock company rather than starting one’s own business? 2. What might be some of the disadvantages to owning stock in a joint-stock company? 3. How do you think joint-stock companies have changed since they were first started in the age of exploration? 4. Imagine that a friend wants your advice: should he start his own business or invest his money in a joint-stock company? On a separate sheet of paper, write a letter to your friend, giving and justifying your advice. How would your answer be different if you were writing your letter in the late 1600s? Cooperative Learning Activity 13 L1/ELL Copyright © by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Name Date Class The New Horizons.info New(s) Worlds Web Site Cooperative Learning Activity 13 BACKGROUND Many European nations became involved in overseas expansion and exploration starting in the fifteenth century. Trade opportunities, Christianization, and an emerging spirit of nationalist adventure drove many of the nations to seek new empires and new trade windows in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Mercantilism and increasing international trade became the basis of economic thinking. By work- ing as a group to create a New Horizons news Web site (or newspaper) to cover events in the Age of Exploration and Expansion, you will develop a heightened sense of the energy and motivation that surrounded the era. GROUP DIRECTIONS 1. Your group will create a news Web site (live or ready-to-post) covering events in the Age of Exploration. 2. The group needs to select an editor and two assistant editors who will assign articles and schedule due dates, proofreading, page layouts, and other tasks. All questions should be directed to this senior editorial team. 3. Each member of the group will write a “news” article about one or more events in the Age of Exploration and create an advertisement for the Web site, plus complete other assignments such as maps, illustrations, adding Web links, and so on as directed by the editorial group. The group should also select members to key the articles, design the Web pages, create the graphics, and post the text and graphics files. 4. Include the following in the site: name for the site illustrations historical “ads” maps articles on any of the following: causes for exploration and expansion Papal Demarcation Line Bartholomeu Dias Prince Henry the Navigator Christopher Columbus Vasco da Gama Amerigo Vespucci Ferdinand Magellan Hernán Cortés Francisco Pizarro ORGANIZING THE GROUP 1. Decision Making As a group, select the editorial team. Then decide on a site name and brainstorm ideas for ads and other features for the site. The editorial team should assign stories to the team members and determine responsibilities for other editing, design, illustration, and posting tasks.

    The New Horizons.info New(s) Worlds Web Site

    Cooperative Learning Activity 13

    BACKGROUNDMany European nations became involved in overseas expansion and explorationstarting in the fifteenth century. Trade opportunities, Christianization, and anemerging spirit of nationalist adventure drove many of the nations to seek newempires and new trade windows in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Mercantilismand increasing international trade became the basis of economic thinking. By work-ing as a group to create a New Horizons news Web site (or newspaper) to coverevents in the Age of Exploration and Expansion, you will develop a heightenedsense of the energy and motivation that surrounded the era.

    GROUP DIRECTIONS1. Your group will create a news Web site (live or ready-to-post) covering events

    in the Age of Exploration.

    2. The group needs to select an editor and two assistant editors who will assignarticles and schedule due dates, proofreading, page layouts, and other tasks. Allquestions should be directed to this senior editorial team.

    3. Each member of the group will write a news article about one or more eventsin the Age of Exploration and create an advertisement for the Web site, pluscomplete other assignments such as maps, illustrations, adding Web links, andso on as directed by the editorial group. The group should also select membersto key the articles, design the Web pages, create the graphics, and post the textand graphics files.

    4. Include the following in the site: name for the site illustrations historical ads maps articles on any of the following:

    causes for exploration and expansion Papal Demarcation LineBartholomeu Dias Prince Henry the NavigatorChristopher Columbus Vasco da GamaAmerigo Vespucci Ferdinand MagellanHernn Corts Francisco Pizarro

    ORGANIZING THE GROUP1. Decision Making As a group, select the editorial team. Then decide on a site

    name and brainstorm ideas for ads and other features for the site. The editorialteam should assign stories to the team members and determine responsibilitiesfor other editing, design, illustration, and posting tasks.

    Name ____________________________________ Date ________________ Class __________

    Then During the Age of Exploration,Europeans grew more curious about the worldaround them and began to travel to distantplaces. As their view of Earth changed, theybegan to revise their concepts of the heavens.

    Nicholas Copernicus (14731543), a nativeof Poland, was one of the first astronomers tochallenge the authorized theory about theplanetary system. This theory stated that Earthwas fixed in place and that all the other planetsencased in concentric crystalspheresrevolved around Earth. Copernicusfound that the paths of the planets could bebetter explained by the theory that they circlethe Sun. Religious leaders preached againstCopernicuss ideas.

    In 1577 a new comet streaked across thesky. It passed through the spaces where theimpenetrable spheres were supposed to be.This event caused more scientists to questionthe Earth-centered model. As they observedthe heavens, they began to set preconceivedideas aside. This enabled scientists to collectmore objective data.

    Galileo Galilei (15641642) made it possibleto observe the heavens even more closely. Heimproved the recently invented telescope sothat he could see the moons that orbit Jupiter.Partly inspired by this evidence that all heav-enly bodies do not circle Earth, he wrote abook supporting the Sun-centered model.Outraged leaders of the Catholic Churchforced Galileo to take back his assertions. Hisideas endured, however, eventually paving theway for modern space exploration.

    Now Today, advanced instruments and space-craft help us explore and learn more aboutouter space. Galileo would envy the telescopesof todays astronomers. One such telescopethe Hubble space telescopeorbits Earth highabove the atmosphere. Thanks to the Hubbletelescope, large parts of the universe have beenseen for the first time.

    Scientists have measured a degree of gravi-tational force in outer space not accounted forby visible masses. Scientists believe that a sub-stance known as dark matter is responsible forthis force. Using a telescope called theChandra X-ray Observatory, scientists havebeen able to make images from the x-raysemitted by the dark matter. The Chandra tele-scope can also give information about invisiblecollapsed stars called black holes.

    During the 1960s when the Cold War was atits height, United States astronauts competedwith Russian astronauts to place satellites inorbit around Earth and to reach the moon.During the 1990s, these rivals began a jointproject to build an international space station.Today, scientists from many countries use thisspace station to perform experiments about theeffects of living in space.

    Unmanned spacecraft now explore oursolar system and land on planets. These craftcontain robots that control flight, take pho-tographs, and collect samples from thesurfaces of planets. One such craft may someday tell us if some form of life exists or hasever existed on Mars.

    The Age of Exploration

    BACKGROUNDIt is said that on their first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the

    Pilgrims were assisted by their Native American friend Squanto in preparing theirmeal. This story is probably somewhat fictional, but it is interesting to speculate onwhat the first meetings between non-Western cultures and Europeans must havebeen like. Since the time of the Pilgrims, historians and anthropologists (scientistswho study different cultures and their living habits) from around the world haveused historical documents and other evidence to reconstruct such first encounters.Their work gives a clearer picture of how humans relate to one another when theyare separated by vast cultural differences.

    TASKPerform a play in which Europeans arrive in an Asian country and are enter-

    tained by their Asian hosts with a short drama depicting some aspects of their cul-ture. In response, the Europeans thank the Asians and present a short speechdescribing their culture and outlining their goals in Asia.

    AUDIENCEYour audience will be your teacher and classmates.

    PURPOSEThe purpose of the play is to inform your audience about the merits of both Asian

    and European cultures, and the goals of the European travelers in the early modernperiod.

    PROCEDURES

    1. In a group, choose the Asian country you want to use as the background for the play.

    2. Divide the group in half; one half will play the part of the Asians, the other willassume the roles of the European travelers.

    3. Each subgroup then determines which cultural aspects they want to include inthe drama. Examples may include: technology, religion, government, and art andarchitecture.

    4. The subgroups then write their short dramas and practice them until they feelwell-rehearsed and convincing.

    5. Both subgroups then plan together how each of their parts will function smoothlyas part of the overall interaction between the Europeans and the Asians.

    6. Try to perform the play before a test audience, such as your family, before youperform it in front of the class.

    7. Incorporate any suggestions your test audience makes with which the group as awhole agrees.

    Masks are not unique to Africa. Paleolithic cave paintings show huntingscenes with masked dancers. Masks were used in Chinese theater, in JapaneseNo drama, and in devil-dancing ceremonies and theatrical performances inIndia, Ceylon, and Java. North American Indians all used face masks. Maskswere used in Mexico and South America, as well as by some aboriginal tribesin Australia. Masks are used for theater and dance, religious ceremonies, andtribal rituals of fertility, hunting, and agriculture.

    DIRECTIONS: Read the passage below about the use of African tribal masks.Then answer the questions in the space provided.

    bers into a secret society. (4) Other related cere-monies were celebrated or solemnized with masks,such as healing, divination, exorcism, protection,presenting petitions, averting disaster, welcomingchiefs and visitors, and law enforcement and

    judging disputes.Most masks were made of wood

    because it was abundantly availablein the forests in Africa. A small per-centage were carved in ivory fromelephant tusks; however, most ofthe ivory harvested was used fortrading instead. Some masks weremade of brass or gold, but thesewere small and used primarily asornaments. Other masks were madeof knitted material, basketwork, ortwigs and painted bark. Additionalmaterials, such as teeth, hair, fur,shells, bone, berries, seeds, andpieces of metal or cloth, were

    added to many wooden masks. Mask carvers served a period of apprenticeship

    to a master carver. Often the knowledge of carvingwas transmitted from father to son through manygenerations, but sometimes a young man wasselected because he showed talent in carving. Maskcarvers were usually given high status in the tribe;however in a few tribes, such as the Bambara orSenufo, the mask carver was either feared or froma low caste, and lived isolated from the village.

The dancer who wears the mask may beintroducing a spirit or transmitting the genealogy ofthe ancestors of the tribe, showing the history of themigration, the institution of ceremonies, or the tech-niques of agriculture or hunting. Theimage on the mask therefore mightbe a mythic or grotesque human rep-resentation, an animal, or a spirit.

    The dancer who wore the maskhad to have exceptional strength andspecial skill. The dances were techni-cally complicated and the dancerhad to undergo special training tolearn the dance. The masks werealso heavy and had an uncomfort-able structure. The dancer was alsousually wrapped in a costume thatcovered his body and the warm cli-mate would sap the dancersstrength.

    Ritual masks were used in four different kindsof ceremonies. (1) Rituals of myth transmitted his-tory of the tribe or celebrated legendary heroesand animals. (2) Fertility rituals celebrated orencouraged spirits to provide fertility in crops andhuman births; masks were also used in the oppo-site end of fertility ritualsfunerals or burials.(3)Initiations or rites of passage included celebra-tions of different stages of life, such as the passageof a boy into manhood or the initiation of mem-

    European explorers set sail with dreamsof glory and discovery in the late 1400s. Thevast wilderness of the Americas held thepromise of great riches. What form theseriches tookgold, furs, or land forsettlementdepended on the perception ofthe adventurer. How did the adventurersviews reflect the goals of the countries theysailed for?

    Spanish explorers searched for land-scapes in the Americas similar to those oftheir European homeland. Spaniards hadlearned to mine the mineral ores fromSpains low mountainous terrain. Knowingthe importance of metallurgy to the Spanisheconomy, the earliest Spanish explorerswere drawn to the mountainous areas ofMexico and what is today the southwestUnited States, where mining operationscould be established quickly. They weremore eager to make quick profits from

    mining than to develop self-sufficientcolonies based on an agricultural economy.

    The French, too, were eager for the prof-its they could make from North Americasnatural resources, but they were forced tosearch in northern North America, becausethe Spanish had already claimed much ofCentral America and South America.French explorers Jacques Cartier andSamuel de Champlain had explored theSt. Lawrence River system and the northernAppalachian area, claiming those places forFrance. Finding a region teeming withbeaver, muskrat, and deer, the Frenchturned to trading metal knives, tools, andguns for furs from animals hunted byNative Americans. The French built a fur-trading monopoly that brought them greatwealth without the problems of clearing,farming, and settling the rocky lands ofnorthern New England and Canada.

    There lies Peru with its riches here, Panama and itspoverty. Choose, each man, what best becomes a braveCastilian. For my part, I go to the South.

    Francisco Pizarro, tracing a line on the sand andlooking South

    Raised in Spain by poor relatives of hismother, Francisco Pizarro never learned toread and write. Service in the Spanishinfantry, however, taught him about fight-ingand conquering. The Spanish infantrywas noted for three things: courage, cruelty,and greed.

    Pizarro set out for the West Indies in1502, when he was in his early twenties. Heserved as Vasco Nez de Balboas chieflieutenant and was at Balboas side whenhe marched across the Isthmus of Panamato the Pacific Ocean in 1513. Years laterPizarro heard stories of an incredibly richempire to the south. He wanted to find itand take its wealth for himself.

    Pizarro and his business manager, Diegode Almagro, organized an expedition in1524. After battling bad weather and attacksby native populations, the voyagersreached their goal in what is now Peru.Pizarro and his followers were the firstEuropeans to set foot in Peru. The first peo-ples they encountered wore shiny yellowornamentsgold! Peru had more silver andgold than any other part of the Americas.

    Pizarro returned to Spain and reportedhis findings to King Charles I, who appoint-ed him governor of Peru. Returning from

    Spain, Pizarrofounded the cityof San Miguel deTangarara (nowPiura) in northernPeru. Althoughthe Inca civil warwas over, theland was still inturmoil. HadPizarro tried to invade Peru earlier, hewould have been met by a united empire;but now the Inca were split, giving him theopportunity to play one side against theother. In a surprise attack, Pizarros mencaptured the Inca ruler, Atahualpa, slaugh-tering between 3,000 and 4,000 Inca in theprocess. Pizarro held Atahualpa captive,promising to spare his life if a ransom werepaid. After receiving the ransom, Pizarroand his men executed Atahualpa anyway.

    Eight years after reaching Peru, Pizarrofounded the city of Lima as Perus capital,setting himself up as the governor. Whilehe was governor, many Spaniards settled inPeru. They mined great amounts of silverand gold and built many cities. With Peruas its base, Spain conquered most of the restof South America. In the late 1530s, warbroke out over who was to rule the areaaround CuscoPizarro or his old allyAlmagro. Pizarros forces won the conflictand executed Almagro. In 1541 followers ofAlmagros son killed Pizarro. It was a deathperhaps in keeping with his violent life.

    2. What are three reasons Prince gives to support her position on how enslaved peoplereally feel?

    3. In what way do the English change when they arrive in the West Indies, according toPrince? Why might these people change in this way?

    4. Does the fact that the speaker has escaped from slavery make her argument more or lesseffective? Explain your answer.

    Analyzing the information an authorpresents involves reading carefully to try tounderstand the authors argument. The fol-lowing firsthand account is by Mary Prince,a woman who managed to escape slavery

    in 1828. Prince made her way from the WestIndies to England, where she was helpedby members of the Society of Friends(Quakers). Her story was first publishedin 1831.

    DIRECTIONS: Read the passage, then answer the questions that follow.

    Iam often much vexed, and I feel great sorrow when I hear some people inthis country say, that the slaves do not need better usage, and do notwant to be free. They believe the foreign people [West Indians], who deceivethem, and say slaves are happy. I say, Not so. How can slaves be happywhen they have the halter round their neck and the whip upon their back?and are disgraced and thought no more of than beasts?and are separatedfrom their mothers, and husbands, and children, and sisters, just as cattle aresold and separated? Is it happiness for a driver in the field to take down hiswife or sister or child, and strip them, and whip them in a disgracefulmanner?women that have had children exposed in the open field toshame! There is no modesty or decency shown by the owner to his slaves;men, women, and children are exposed alike. Since I have been here I haveoften wondered how English people can go out into the West Indies and actin such a beastly manner. But when they go to the West Indies, they forgetGod and all feeling of shame, I think, since they can see and do such things.They tie up slaves like hogsmoor them up like cattle, and they lick them, soas hogs, or cattle, or horses never were flogged;and yet they come homeand say, and make some good people believe, that slaves dont want to getout of slavery. But they put a cloak about the truth. It is not so. All slaveswant to be freeto be free is very sweet.

    Reading Objective 6: The student will recognize points of view, propaganda, and/or statements of fact andnonfact in a variety of written texts.

    Learning to distinguish fact from nonfact can help you make reasonable judgments about whatothers say. A fact is a statement that can be proven by evidence such as records, documents,government statistics, or historical sources. A nonfact, often expressed as an opinion, is a statementthat may contain some truth but also contains a personal view or judgment.

    Practicing the SkillRead the following information and complete the activity that follows.

    Learning to Distinguish Fact from NonfactUse the following guidelines to help you sift facts from nonfacts, or opinions, and to judge the reliabilityof what you read or hear.

    Identify the facts. Ask yourself the following:Can these statements be proved? Where canI find information to verify them?

    Check the sources for the facts. Reliablesources include almanacs, encyclopedias, andvarious scholarly works.

    Identify the nonfacts or opinions. Sometimesopinions contain phrases such as I believe, inmy view, it is my conviction, I think.

    Identify the purpose. What does the speakeror author want you to believe or do?

    ACTIVITY 13Distinguishing Between Fact and Nonfact

    The year 1992 was the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in theAmericas. Some people saw Columbuss landing as a positive event and celebrated it withfestivals and parades. Others, however, viewed the anniversary in a negative light. To them,the arrival of Columbus was the first step in the European conquest and destruction ofNative American cultures. Two vastly different viewpoints are expressed below.

    Columbus and the Americas

    Viewpoint AColumbuss arrival in the Americas was the

    greatest event in history. I believe it deliveredNative American peoples from cultural darknessand brought them the benefits of Europesmagnificent civilization, especially its religion,culture, and technology. As a result ofColumbuss landing, two continents provided ahome for millions of people from all parts of theglobe. American lands produced gold, silver, andnew foods, giving European countries even morewealth and power.

    Viewpoint BColumbuss arrival led to a total disaster that

    forever altered the history of the Americas. In theyears after his coming, European explorers andsettlers destroyed Native American cultures, killedNative American leaders, and greedily seizedNative American lands. The Europeans, believingin the superiority of their own culture, cruellytreated Native Americans, forcing many of theminto a form of slavery. Exposed to diseases fromEurope for the first time, millions of NativeAmericans died.

    Why We ExploreEncourage students to think about the general

    reasons humans explore. This activity also encour-ages students to compare the motives of explorersfrom the Age of Exploration with those of explorersfrom other eras of investigation.

    On the board, write the following headings:Motives, Risks, and Significant Gains. Ask studentswhat they know about Christopher Columbus and fill in the chart with facts about his explorations.

    Next, give students a list of famous explorers suchas Neil Armstrong, Lewis and Clark, Yury Gagarin,Marco Polo, and Edmund Hillary. Have students useclassroom resources to find out about these people,then add facts about them to the chart on the board.

    As a follow-up activity, ask students to draw somegeneralizations about the following: Why do weexplore? Do the risks of exploration ever outweighthe gains? Was Columbuss voyage riskier than theApollo 11 moon mission? As a final evaluation, youmight ask students to write an essay that comparesand contrasts the motives, risks, and gains ofColumbus with another explorer.

    The Age of Exploration

    15001800

    Key EventsAs you read this chapter, look for the key events of the Age of Exploration.

    Europeans risked dangerous ocean voyages to discover new sea routes. Early European explorers sought gold in Africa then began to trade slaves.

    Trade increased in Southeast Asia, and the Dutch built a trade empire based on spices in the Indonesian Archipelago.

    The Impact TodayThe events that occurred during this time period still impact our lives today.

    European trade was a factor in producing a new age of commercial capitalism that was one of the first steps toward todays world economy.

    The consequences of slavery continue to impact our lives today. The Age of Exploration led to a transfer of ideas and products, many of which are still

    important in our lives today.

    Dutch Shipping In 1602, the Dutch parliament granted a charter to the Dutch East India Company.As this company prospered, Dutch merchants increasingly replaced Portuguese traders in India and Southeast Asia. By the middle of the seventeenth century, the Netherlands was the primarycommercial power in Europe. During this same period, the Dutch experienced a Golden Age in art.Wealthy Dutch merchants became patrons of the arts and encouraged artists to paint pictures thatdepicted the sea and shipping. This oil painting of the Dutch East India Company captures the commercial spirit that made the Netherlands such a powerful force in seventeenth-century trade.

    onvinced that he could find a sea passage to Asia throughthe Western Hemisphere, the Portuguese explorer Ferdi-

    nand Magellan persuaded the king of Spain to finance his voy-age. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail on the AtlanticOcean with five ships and a Spanish crew of about 250 men.

    After reaching South America, Magellans fleet moveddown the coast in search of a strait, or sea passage, thatwould take them through America. His Spanish ship captainsthought he was crazy: The fool is obsessed with his searchfor a strait, one remarked.

    At last, in November 1520, Magellan passed through a nar-row waterway (later named the Strait of Magellan) andemerged in the Pacific Ocean,which he called the Pacific Sea.Magellan reckoned that itwould be a short distance from there to the Spice Islandsof the East.

    Week after week he and hiscrew sailed on across the Pacificas their food supplies dwindled. At last they reached thePhilippines (named after the future King Philip II of Spain).There, Magellan was killed by the native peoples. Only one ofhis original fleet of five ships returned to Spain, but Magellanis still remembered as the first person to sail around the world.

    CMagellan Sails Around the World

    FerdinandMagellan

    Discovery of Magellan Strait by an unknown artist

    Why It MattersAt the beginning of the sixteenthcentury, European adventurerslaunched their small fleets into thevast reaches of the Atlantic Ocean.They were hardly aware that theywere beginning a new era, not onlyfor Europe but also for the peoplesof Asia, Africa, and the Americas.These European voyages markedthe beginning of a process that ledto radical changes in the political,economic, and cultural life of theentire non-Western world.

    History and You Create a mapto scale that shows Spain, SouthAmerica, and the Philippines. Drawthe route Magellan took from Spainto the Philippines. If the voyage tookabout 20 months, how many mileseach day, on average, did Magellantravel? How long would it taketoday?

    Introducing A Story That MattersDepending on the ability level ofyour students, select from the fol-lowing questions to reinforce thereading of A Story That Matters. What was Magellans goal

    when he set sail on August10, 1519 (passage to Asia bygoing west)

    Given the details of the story,what words would studentsuse to describe the voyage?(dangerous, scary, miserable)

    Why do students think sailorsagreed to such voyagesthrough unknown waters?(fame, wealth, adventure) L1 L2

    About the ArtThe picture shows Magellansships carefully navigating theirway through the rocky islandsthat were scattered through thenarrow passageway now calledthe Strait of Magellan. The Straitis narrow and experiences highwinds, fog, and rain throughoutthe year. Until the opening of thePanama Canal in 1914, the Straitof Magellan remained an importroute for sailing ships.

    HISTORY AND YOUThe discovery that one could sail around the southern tip of South America had a great impact on exploration andtrade. Magellan himself did not actually complete this journey but died in the Philippines. Have students researchthe crews journey from the Philippines to the Spice Islands and back to Spain. Who made it home safely? Whathappened to the other ships? What route did they take back to Spain? Students should also discuss how this voy-age impacted commercial trade for the next several hundred years. Students should use primary and secondarysources and prepare a brief written report. L2

    In a letter to the treasurer of the king and queen of Spain, Christopher Columbusreported on his first journey:

    Believing that you will rejoice at the glorious success that our Lord has granted mein my voyage, I write this to tell you how in thirty-three days I reached the Indies withthe first fleet which the most illustrious King and Queen, our Sovereigns, gave me,where I discovered a great many thickly-populated islands. Without meeting resistance,I have taken possession of them all for their Highnesses. . . . When I reached [Cuba], Ifollowed its coast to the westward, and found it so large that I thought it must be themainlandthe province of [China], but I found neither towns nor villages on the sea-coast, save for a few hamlets.

    Letters from the First Voyage, edited 1847

    To the end of his life, despite the evidence, Columbus believed he had found a newroute to Asia.

    Motives and MeansThe dynamic energy of Western civilization between 1500 and 1800 was most

    apparent when Europeans began to expand into the rest of the world. First Portu-gal and Spain, then later the Dutch Republic, England, and France, all rose to neweconomic heights through their worldwide trading activity.

    For almost a thousand years, Europeans hadmostly remained in one area of the world. At the endof the fifteenth century, however, they set out on aremarkable series of overseas journeys. What causedthem to undertake such dangerous voyages to theends of the earth?

    Europeans had long been attracted to Asia. In thelate thirteenth century, Marco Polo had traveled withhis father and uncle to the Chinese court of the greatMongol ruler Kublai Khan. He had written anaccount of his experiences, known as The Travels. Thebook was read by many, including Columbus, whowere fascinated by the exotic East. In the fourteenthcentury, conquests by the Ottoman Turks reduced theability of westerners to travel by land to the East.People then spoke of gaining access to Asia by sea.

    Economic motives loom large in European expan-sion. Merchants, adventurers, and state officials hadhigh hopes of expanding trade, especially for thespices of the East. The spices, which were needed topreserve and flavor food, were very expensive afterbeing shipped to Europe by Arab middlemen. Euro-peans also had hopes of finding precious metals. OneSpanish adventurer wrote that he went to the Amer-icas to give light to those who were in darkness, andto grow rich, as all men desire to do.

    This statement suggests another reason for theoverseas voyages: religious zeal. Many people sharedthe belief of Hernn Corts, the Spanish conqueror ofMexico, that they must ensure that the natives areintroduced into the holy Catholic faith.

    There was a third motive as well. Spiritual andsecular affairs were connected in the sixteenth cen-tury. Adventurers such as Corts wanted to convertthe natives to Christianity, but grandeur, glory, and aspirit of adventure also played a major role in Euro-pean expansion.

    God, glory, and gold, then, were the chiefmotives for European expansion, but what made thevoyages possible? By the second half of the fifteenthcentury, European monarchies had increased their

    Critical Thinking Although Europeans made voy-ages in part to destroy Muslimshipping and to convert hea-thens, most of their sailingknowledge came from the Arabs.Ask students to research Arabtechnology. How did the Euro-peans acquire it? Did the Arabsmake any effort to keep theirknowledge secret? Did theythemselves use what they dis-covered? L2

    Sea Travel in an Age of Exploration

    European voyagers acquired much of theirknowledge about sailing from the Arabs. Forexample, sailors used charts that Arab navigatorsand mathematicians had drawn in the thirteenthand fourteenth centuries. Known as portolani,these charts recorded the shapes of coastlines anddistances between ports. They were very valuable inEuropean waters. Because the charts were drawnon a flat scale and took no account of the curvatureof the earth, however, they were of little help onoverseas voyages.

    Only as sailors began to move beyond the coastsof Europe did they gain information about theactual shape of the earth. By 1500, cartographythe art and science ofmapmakinghad reached the point where Europeans had fairly accuratemaps of the areas they had explored.

    Europeans also learned new navigational techniques from the Arabs. Pre-viously, sailors had used the position of the North Star to determine their lat-itude. Below the Equator, though, this technique was useless. The compassand the astrolabe (also perfected by the Arabs) greatly aided exploration.The compass showed in what direction a ship was moving. The astrolabeused the sun or a star to ascertain a ships latitude.

    Finally, European shipmakers learned how to use lateen (triangular) sails,which were developed by the Arabs. New ships, called caravels, were moremaneuverable and could carry heavy cannon and more goods.

    Beginning in 1420, under the sponsorship of PrinceHenry the Navigator, Portuguese fleets began prob-ing southward along the western coast of Africa.There, they discovered a new source of gold. The

    southern coast of West Africa thus became known toEuropeans as the Gold Coast.

    Portuguese sea captains heard reports of a route toIndia around the southern tip of Africa. In 1488,Bartholomeu Dias rounded the tip, called the Cape ofGood Hope. Later, Vasco da Gama went around thecape and cut across the Indian Ocean to the coast ofIndia. In May of 1498, he arrived off the port of Cali-cut, where he took on a cargo of spices. He returnedto Portugal and made a profit of several thousandpercent. Is it surprising that da Gamas voyage wasthe first of many along this route?

    Portuguese fleets returned to the area to destroyMuslim shipping and to gain control of the spicetrade, which had been controlled by the Muslims. In

    Answer: It would help destroy Arabcontrol of the spice trade and pro-vide the Portuguese a way station onthe way to the Spice Islands.

    1509, a Portuguese fleet of warships defeated a com-bined fleet of Turkish and Indian ships off the coastof India. A year later, Admiral Afonso de Albu-querque set up a port at Goa, on the western coast of India.

    The Portuguese then began to range more widelyin search of the source of the spice trade. Soon, Albu-querque sailed into Melaka on the Malay Peninsula.Melaka was a thriving port for the spice trade. ForAlbuquerque, control of Melaka would help todestroy Arab control of the spice trade and providethe Portuguese with a way station on the route to theMoluccas, then known as the Spice Islands.

    From Melaka, the Portuguese launched expedi-tions to China and the Spice Islands. There, theysigned a treaty with a local ruler for the purchase andexport of cloves to the European market. This treatyestablished Portuguese control of the spice trade. ThePortuguese trading empire was complete. However,it remained a limited empire of trading posts. The

    Portuguese had neither the power, the people, northe desire to colonize the Asian regions.

    Why were the Portuguese the first successfulEuropean explorers? Basically it was a matter of gunsand seamanship. Later, however, the Portuguesewould be no match for other European forcestheEnglish, Dutch, and French.

    Explaining Why did Afonso deAlbuquerque want control of Melaka?

    Voyages to the AmericasThe Portuguese sailed eastward through the

    Indian Ocean to reach the source of the spice trade.The Spanish sought to reach it by sailing westwardacross the Atlantic Ocean. With more people andgreater resources, the Spanish established an over-seas empire that was quite different from the Por-tuguese trading posts.

    The Voyages of Columbus An important figure inthe history of Spanish exploration was an Italian,Christopher Columbus. Educated Europeans knewthat the world was round, but had little understand-ing of its circumference or of the size of the continentof Asia. Convinced that the circumference of Earthwas not as great as others thought, Columbusbelieved that he could reach Asia by sailing westinstead of east around Africa.

    Columbus persuaded Queen Isabella of Spain tofinance an exploratory expedition. In October 1492,he reached the Americas, where he explored thecoastline of Cuba and the island of Hispaniola.

    Columbus believed he had reached Asia.Through three more voyages, he sought in vain tofind a route through the outer islands to the Asianmainland. In his four voyages, Columbus reachedall the major islands of the Caribbean and Hondurasin Central Americaall of which he called theIndies.

    A Line of Demarcation By the 1490s, then, the voy-ages of the Portuguese and Spanish had alreadyopened up new lands to exploration. Both Spain andPortugal feared that the other might claim some of itsnewly discovered territories. They resolved their con-cerns by agreeing on a line of demarcation, an imag-inary line that divided their spheres of influence.

    According to the Treaty of Tordesillas (TAWRduhSEEyuhs), signed in 1494, the line wouldextend from north to south through the AtlanticOcean and the easternmost part of the South Ameri-can continent. Unexplored territories east of the linewould be controlled by Portugal, and those west ofthe line by Spain. This treaty gave Portugal controlover its route around Africa, and it gave Spain rightsto almost all of the Americas.

    Race to the Americas Other explorers soon real-ized that Columbus had discovered an entirely newfrontier. Government-sponsored explorers frommany countries joined the race to the Americas. AVenetian seaman, John Cabot, explored the NewEngland coastline of the Americas for England. ThePortuguese sea captain Pedro Cabral landed in SouthAmerica in 1500. Amerigo Vespucci (vehSPOOchee), a Florentine, went along on several voyagesand wrote letters describing the lands he saw. Theseletters led to the use of the name America (afterAmerigo) for the new lands.

    411CHAPTER 13 The Age of Exploration

    Columbus petitions Queen Isabella for financial support of hisexplorations.

    When the two races first met on the easterncoast of America, there was unlimited potentialfor harmony. The newcomers could have adaptedto the hosts customs and values. . . . But this didnot happen . . . [Columbus] viewed the natives ofAmerica with arrogance and disdain . . . Colum-bus wrote of gold, . . . and of spices, . . . andslaves, as many as they shall order to beshipped. . . .
