AGE OF EXPLORATION – EXPLORERS!

REASONS FOR EXPLORATION  During the 1400’s, most trade went through the Italian City-States of Venice, Florence, and Milan

Mainland Europe didn’t like this setup for a few reasons: 1. It was expensive (they had to pay higher prices due to all the middle men 2. It took a long time (goods had to travel a long way by foot)

In order to avoid Muslim traders, the Europeans would have to go AROUND the Middle East They began to try and find a sea route This was a dangerous and long journey, but opened up new markets for the Europeans

INNOVATIONS IN NAVIGATION  The reasons that the Europeans could now travel long distances by sea was due to new inventions

 Magnetic Compass: created by the Chinese around 200 B.C.

 Caravel: was smaller, so could travel faster, the sails allowed it to be more maneuverable. Allowed for long distance sailing and longer voyages

 Astrolabe: using the position of the sun and stars, the astrolabe allowed sailors to find direction and time

 Cartography: the art of mapmaking allowed sailors to keep track of where they traveled, and allowed others to follow their route

CIRCUMNAVIGATION  travelling all the way around an island, continent, or the entire Earth
