Age of Exploration

The Crusades During the Middle Ages (500 to 1500), Europeans lived in local villages and towns. When the Crusades began in 1099, Europeans suddenly travelled to the Middle East! For 150 years, Christian Europe tried and failed to conquer the Muslims and retake the Holy Land. In the process, the Europeans discovered Asia. What a great place!

Trade with China Middle Eastern merchants sold great stuff from a wonderful place called China. European merchants wanted to trade directly with China. In those days, merchants took the land route - along the Silk Road. In 1271, Marco Polo travelled to China - then returned to tell Europeans all about it. European merchants wanted to cut out the Arab middlemen and trade directly with China. To do that, they needed to find a sea route to China.

The Renaissance During the Renaissance (1300-1600), Europeans became curious about everything. Thanks to trade with the Middle East, Europeans re- discovered books, maps, math and geography. Thanks to trade with China, Europeans had the magnetic compass and the astrolabe. These were the keys to sea travel.

Sailing to the East In the early 1400s, Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal launched an exploration of the world. That is, Portuguese sailors explored the coast of Africa. In 1497, Vasco da Gama went around the Cape of Good Hope. He landed in India. It was not China, but it was darned close.

Sailing to the West In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed west in hope of reaching China. He thought he landed in India, so he named the native people “Indians.” Instead, he landed on continents that no one knew existed - the Americas
