An explorer is a traveler who searches for new places Spain, France, and England all sent explorers to North and South America Long ago, people in Europe traded with people in Asia for silk, spices, and other goods. The trip from Europe to Asia by land was hard. To get there by sea, ships had to sail all the way around Africa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWY50mH5awQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3521xURSXk8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL6slbdm504
