Chapter 15 The Maritime Revolution, to 1550 AP World History

I. Global Maritime Expansion Before 1450 A. The Pacific Ocean People from the Malay Peninsula crossed the water to settle the islands of the East Indies, New Guinea, the Melanesian and Polynesian islands, the Marquesas, New Zealand, and other Pacific islands out to Hawaii. Voyages were planned with the intention of establishing colonies. Navigated by stars and by observations of ocean currents and evidence of land.

B. The Indian Ocean Arab seafarers used the regular pattern of the monsoon winds to establish trade routes. Chinese Ming Dynasty sponsored voyages and were involved in a grand scale with fleets of over sixty treasure ships and hundreds of support vessels. They carried out trade in luxury goods including silk and precious metals as well as stimulating diplomatic relations with various African and Asian states.

Indian Ocean maritime system.

Ming China exploration routes.

Superior sail, hull, and rudder technology made Chinese junks the most seaworthy vessel of their time. They sailed from India to southeast Asia on monsoon winds.

C. The Atlantic Ocean The Vikings guided by starts and the seas explored Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland. Voyagers from Genoa and Mali attempted to explore the Atlantic, but were never heard from again. Genoese and Portuguese explorers discovered and settled the Madeiras, Azores, and the Canaries. The Arawak from South America colonized the Lesser and Greater Antilles and the Carib followed.

Viking areas of exploration from Scandinavia to Newfoundland, the Mediterranean, Caspian and Black Seas.

Vikings had slender, flexible boats, with symmetrical ends and overlapping planks riveted together. They were able to navigate the rough seas of the North Atlantic as well as rivers that other navy's ships could not negotiate.

Motives for Exploration The Iberian kingdoms sponsored voyages for the following reasons; political ambition, to avoid Muslim and Italian “middle men”, and to spread Christianity The city states of Italy had no incentive to explore Atlantic trade routes because they had a monopoly on access to Asian goods. The Iberian kingdoms had a history of warfare with the Muslims, but they had no share of Mediterranean Sea trade. They had advanced shipbuilding and cannon technology and were open to new geographical knowledge and had exceptional leaders.

Before the age of European maritime exploration, Europeans limited their voyages to the coastal areas in and around the Mediterranean.

Portuguese Voyages Prince Henry conquered Cueta then sponsored a research and navigation institute at Sangres to collect information about and send expeditions to the African lands south of North Africa. At Sangres the staff studied and improved the compass and the astrolabe, and designed the caravel. Portuguese explorers learned to pick up prevailing western winds that would blow them back to Portugal.

Voyages were initially financed by income from the properties held by Prince Henry’s Order of Christ The voyages began to produce a financial return from the slave trade and then the gold trade. Bartolomeu Dias rounded the tip of Africa before returning to Portugal (Cape of Storms, aka Cape of Good Hope) - 1488 Vasco da Gama rounded the tip of Africa and established contact with India, thus laying the basis for Portugal’s maritime trading empire. 1498

Initial area of Portuguese exploration of the islands off North Africa under Henry the Navigator.

A caravel is a small, highly maneuverable fighting ship with lateen sails that gave her speed and the capacity for sailing into the wind.

In 1469 Fernão Gomes explored 350 miles of African coast In 1469 Fernão Gomes explored 350 miles of African coast. He set up a trade monopoly while exploring the Gold Coast which became the headquarters for Portugal’s West African trade.

In 1488, Bartolomeu Dias was a Portuguese explorer and the first known European to have sailed around the southernmost tip of Africa.

Vasco da Gama was one of the most successful maritime explorers. In 1497 - 1498, he commanded the first ships to sail directly from Europe to India.

Vasco da Gama’s route from Europe to India. Had tremendous economic benefit for W. Europe – price of goods fell by 20% (or more in some cases)

Spanish Voyages Christopher Columbus went to find a new route to Asia. After four voyages, Columbus was still certain he had found Asia, but other Europeans realized he had discovered new lands. Led Spain and Portugal to sign the Treaty of Tordesillas. Magellan’s voyage across the Pacific confirmed Portugal’s claim to the Molucca Islands and established the Spanish claim to the Philippines.

Christopher Columbus was a Genoese mariner that led four Pacific voyages between 1492 and 1502. Had estimated the circumference of earth to be ¾ of what it actually was. Until his death, he believed he had found a shorter route to the Indian Ocean than the Portuguese.

Christopher Columbus’s routes – Yellow: 1st voyage (1492) Santa Maria sinks, Orange: 2nd voyage (1493) 17 ships and 1,200 men to colonize, Red: 3rd voyage (1498) 6 ships but he returns in chains, Purple: 4th voyage (1502 – 1504) sought Malacca with 4 old ships which left him stranded for a year.

The 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas divided the world between Portugal and Spain which was half way between Cape Verde and the Islands discovered by Columbus.

Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition of 1519 - 1522 was the first to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific and was also the first circumnavigation of the Earth. Magellan himself was killed in the Philippines and of the 237 men who set out on the five ships, only 18 completed the circumnavigation.

Western Africa In return for gold Africans received firearms and a variety of Asian, African, and European goods. The Oba of the powerful kingdom of Benin established a royal monopoly on trade with the Portuguese and showed a mild interest in Christianity. The kingdom of Kongo had fewer goods to export and relied more on the slave trade.

B. Eastern Africa On the Swahili Coast, Malindi befriended the Portuguese and was spared when the Portuguese attacked and looted many of the other Swahili city-states in 1505. Christian Ethiopia sought and gained Portuguese support in its war against the Muslim forces of Adal. The Muslims were defeated, but a long term alliance fell through because Ethiopia refused to transfer their religious loyalty from the patriarch of Alexandria to the Roman Pope.

C. Indian Ocean States Vasco da Gama made a poor impression, but the Portuguese superior ships and firepower gave them the ability to control Indian Ocean trade. Using their superior military technology, the Portuguese conquered the Indian port of Goa, Hormuz, Malacca, and Macao in southern China. They used these ports to collect taxes and make sure all goods were transported on Portuguese ships. The Mughal emperors took no action, but the Ottomans resisted and were able to maintain superiority in the Red sea and Persian Gulf. The Portuguese never maintained complete control of the Indian Ocean trade, but they did dominate it enough to bring themselves considerable profit and to break the Italian city-states’ monopoly on pepper.

D. The Americas The Spanish built a territorial empire in the Americas. The Spanish killed thousands of the Arawak, undermined their economy, forced the rest to serve as laborers, and took over their gold mines. In the Antilles the Spanish put the land under Spanish control. Hernan Cortes relied on native allies, cavalry charges, steel swords, and cannon to defeat the Aztec Empire and capture Tenochtitlan. The conquest was aided by the spread of smallpox. (also greatly aided by Aztec myth) Francisco Pizzaro used similar tactics to defeat the Inca Empire.

In 1520, an Aztec rebellion against the Conquistadors left Moctezuma II dead and in the following year the capture of Tenochtitlan was facilitated by the spread of smallpox.

fatality rates of 80 - 90% in Native American populations Smallpox was devastating to Native American populations (who had never been exposed to it). Some estimates indicate fatality rates of 80 - 90% in Native American populations during smallpox epidemics.

Francisco Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador, conqueror of the Incan Empire and founder of Lima, the modern-day capital of Peru. Pizarro and his conquistadors set out to conquer the Incas with a force of 180 men, 37 horses, and cannons.

Imperial Comparisons Strong centralized governments like China were not inclined to attempt long distance exploration. Weaker rulers such as the Iberian monarchs left the details of exploration to individuals such as Columbus. Dominance of the Americas by Spain and Portugal was aided by the native populations’ vulnerability to European disease, superior weaponry of Europe, Indian allies, and civil war/myth Natives of Asia and Africa had more immunity to European diseases from earlier contact and were able to resist militarily.

Economic Comparisons Europeans found sophisticated markets and trade networks in Africa and Asia. In contrast, Europeans needed to introduce new technology and strong political control over American natives to exploit their natural resources.
