Unit 3 – Note Page 1 Exploration Technology What drove Europe to risk Life and Limb? Yes, I know theirs a plane here, tough! Look at the boat….

Why Exploration? Crusades – Holy War by the Christians to drive the Muslims out of the Holy Lands 1200’s – 1400’s. Exotic experience of Middle East prompted Europeans to explore unknown regions Knights returning from Middle East Brought New technology & Idea of Exploration

Why Exploration? Search for Natural Resources – Europe had exhausted all their natural forest / timber supply. Running out of farmland. Over Populated and crowded with people and farm animals.

New Sailing technology A. Astrolabe 180 BC. It could be used to find you Latitude - how far north or south of equator, survey land, Day of year by sun position, etc.

B. Compass – determine the direction you are sailing once your out of sight of land. C. Caravel ships- with Triangular sails could now sail into the wind not just with it.

Why they Explore: Spices : nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, & pepper. Finally you can spice up bland European diet, spice also help cover up the taste of spoiling food.

Spices were found in Middle East and far away, today Indonesia Islands.

Christianity - Spread to the heathens of the world! Luther Is pulling millions away from the Catholic Church. Need New members to replace them. Money! - Bartolomeu Dias once said as to why he explored: “To serve God and his Majesty, to give light to those who were in darkness and to grow rich as all men desire!”
