Old World Map

Old World Trade Before Columbus Silk Road: Wealthy trade route between Europe and Asia Europe was on the farthest end of the Silk Road. It had to buy at the HIGHEST PRICES. It’s traders got the SMALLEST profit. A DIRECT ROUTE to Asia would make items CHEAPER and profits HIGHER.

Columbus’ Plan If the world is round… Columbus’ World Map Europeans could sail around the OTHER WAY and trade directly with Asia! Columbus planned to sail to India to trade for spices. He was not expecting to find the AMERICAS in the way! He named Native Americans INDIANS, because he though he found INDIA!
