4. Elizabethan exploration
At the start of the 15th century much of the world as we know it had yet to be discovered by Europeans
It was believed that the world was flat
However, there were trade links beyond Europe as there was a great demand for luxury goods (spices, silks, perfumes etc.,)
Such items were highly prized as they were brought from the Far East over land on the backs of camels, so it took a long time to transport them and they were expensive

5. Understand why the Elizabethans became great explorers
Problems in the East- the Turkish Ottoman Empire that was hostile to Christian Europe was making it difficult and expensive to import luxury goods such as spices, incense, silks, cottons and perfumes from the east. It was feared that they may cut off trade between the East and Europe completely
Problems in the East - transport was slow especially from the east where they were brought to the Mediterranean by camel (slower than boats and could not carry as much). The Ottomans also placed high taxes on all goods passing through their territory
Why would the above encourage Elizabethans to become explorers?

6. Understand why the Elizabethans became great explorers – new inventions & ideas
This was the age of the Renaissance – which encouraged learning and also a spirit of adventure
The world was not flat but round, so you could probably get to the far east by going North past Russia or South past Africa
The printing press- made maps and other geographical literature more widely available
The astrolabe meant a ship’s position could be plotted accurately
The magnetic compass was developed
Small easier to steer ships were developed
Triangular lateen sail meant ships could now sail in which ever direction they wished.
Why would the above encourage Elizabethans to become explorers?
