1 Emergence of World Patterns
AGE OF EXPLORATION [European Hegemony]

2 Global Hegemony Portuguese 16th Century Spain 17th Century
Dutch 18th Century English 19th Century American 20th Century ?????? 21st Century All of these eras were dominated by their specific group based upon control of long-distance trade.

3 Concepts Capitalism Caravel Columbian Exchange Factor
Northwest Passage One continuing aim for explorers once they realized that two massive continents existed in the western hemisphere was to search for a route around them to the north. Ice has always been the consistent barrier. With global warming, however, in recent years a northwest passage has open to shipping without resorting to the use of icebreakers.

4 Essential Questions How and why was European hegemony the outcome of exploration? Why did the Europeans invest so much in exploration? What was the global impact of the biological diffusion of the era? What was the political and economic impact of the Age of Exploration? How are present day global relations impacted by the Age of Exploration?
