Where do we see exploration today? List as many reasons as you can think of:

Where do we see exploration today? Technological Advances Science Medicine Energy Ocean Floor Space http://www.history.com/topics/space/videos#the-space-race Talk about the Space Race after video – why was US and USSR rushing to get to space? Then you will be able to draw similarities as to why Europe was rushing to get to New World

Why don’t we see more exploration of land in the 21st Century?

Why don’t we see more exploration of land in the 21st Century? Most of the globe is already “owned” and discovered. The land that is “available” does not have ample natural resources to allow for permanent settlements.

The Age of Discovery As the Middle Ages came to a close, the Age of Discovery began. What do you think sparked the great era of discovery and exploration? List at least three reasons or events…

Reasons for Exploration Western Europeans were introduced to many new items during the Crusades and Marco Polo’s travels to China. (Spices, precious metals, silk, etc.) Turks captured Constantinople in 1453 – blocked land trade to Far East. Genoa and Venice became international trade centers and dominated the trading market. Spanish and Portuguese wanted to establish routes to the Middle East. Renaissance era – intellectual awaking of Europe New technologies emerged allowing explorers to sail far from shoreline. (magnetic compass, astrolabe, hydrographic charts) New financing with European governments allowed for voyages of exploration. Most important!

Who were the first major explorers of the New World? Why did they come here?

We know Native Americans occupied the New World first We know Native Americans occupied the New World first. However, Explorers from other countries happened upon it and this began the Amazing Race to rule North America. Why did they explore? http://www.history.com/topics/exploration-of-north-america/videos#search-for-the-northwest-passage

Explorers Set Sail To… Find a sea route to the spices of Asia Find gold, silver, and precious stones to bring back to their mother country Mother country = country of origin Expand their knowledge of the world Control a larger empire Expand Christianity Find animal furs

Find a sea route to the spices of Asia In the years of exploration (1400’s – 1600’s) there was no refrigeration. To prevent food from spoiling people relied on salt to preserve it. They then used other spices to cover up the salty taste. Most spices did not grow in Europe to those countries set out to find them in Asia.

Find gold, silver, and precious stones Europeans sought gold & silver to pay for their expensive wars. These precious stones were mostly found in Asia.

Expand their knowledge of the world While many people during this time period thought the world was flat, Europeans believed otherwise and set out to explore the ROUND world hoping to broaden their horizons.

Control a larger empire Most European countries were in a race to control as much land as possible. They wanted all the natural resources from the land and then use the people that already lived there as slaves to do the work.

Expand Christianity Believed it was their duty to spread the word of their religion.

Find animal furs Animal furs were big business in Europe but mostly found in the New World….hence exploration there.

Review Activity Go back to each of the 6 reasons countries explored the New World and create a visual that represents each idea. This visual will help you remember this reason as we study for the final assessment.
