The Fall of the Byzantine Empire Ottomans capture Constantinople (1453) Cut trade with Europe & Asia- Made it difficult for Europeans to pass.

Prince Henry of Portugal Loved navigation- opened a navigation school Included map makers best navigators in Navigation Ship designers – design new and faster ships Goals : Hoped to eventually recover Jerusalem (from Muslims) Wanted to further exploration advances Hoped to find a different route to Asia (Constantinople fallen)

Portuguese invent the Caravel They were agile and easier to navigate, with a tonnage of 50 to 160 tons and 1 to 3 masts, with triangular sails allowing beating. (Go against the wind in a zigzag method.)

Columbus goes to Portugal…

Portugal leader in Navigation Many explorations already. Said no CRAZY idea!!! Trying to find a route around Africa

Vasco De Gamma was a Portuguese explorer, one of the most successful in the Age of Discovery and the commander of the first ships to sail directly from Europe to India.

Why Spain? King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella had just united all of Spain. War with Moors ended…(successfully kicked out Muslims) VERY VERY CHRISTIAN….Isabella wanted to spread Christianity.

Columbus 4 voyages…

Columbus was a tyrant during his time as governor of Hispaniola. Columbus reported to the crown upon his return from the New World. He was dismayed to learn that his patrons, Ferdinand and Isabella, would not allow the taking of slaves in the newly discovered lands. As he had found little gold or precious commodities for which to trade, he had been counting on selling native slaves to make his voyages lucrative.

Columbus was thrown into jail…

Portugal realized they missed the boat… What about Me?????
