Extractions: D uring the late medieval period, the Mediterranean Sea was dominated by several powers: Venice and Genoa in Italy, the Islamic powers of Turkey and Egypt and to a lesser degree by such powers as the Knights of Rhodes. Trade in materials, spices, foods, slaves, etc. was commonplace. Endemic too were piracy and warfare between theso-called Christian powers and those of Islam. On the Islamic side too we ought to note that overland caravans from the far East travelled regularly across central Asia into the Levant, bringing such rarities as silk and teas and spices, then sold to Venetians for export to Europe at profit. The maritime powers on the Atlantic were all too aware of the dominant position thatthe Italian middlemen played in selling such goods to Latin Christendom. In an attemptto find a new route to Asia and its material wealth, the sturdy Portuguese had for over half a century sailed down the west coast of Africa, discovering in the process gold, pepper, ivory and other natural resources as well as a staggering array of different peoples, animals and plants. Thanks to Bartholomeu Diaz and Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese finally rounded the treacherous waters of the Cape of Good Hope and sailed into the Indian Ocean, ultimately reaching India, China and Japan. Since the Portuguese colonized, fortified, mapped and organized their profitable trade routes in that direction, the Spanish and other Atlantic Ocean European powers had little choice but to look westward. Already by 1500, some Portuguese had landed in what we now call Brazil for stopovers on their long African voyages.

Extractions: Spanish Explorers: In Search Of ? A WebQuest for 5th Grade Question l Background Information l Tasks l Resources l Activities l Assessment Question Why did the Spanish explorers risk their lives to explore new lands? Background Information The age of exploration was driven by a combination of many forces. European countries had a variety of political, religious, and economic reasons to explore new lands. Individual explorers often shared some of the same motives as the nations they represented but often they had their own reasons for exploring. The Spanish conquistadors were one group of explorers who sailed for Spain. They explored the Americas during the first half of the 1500's. It was during this time that the Spanish dominated the settlement of the Americas. Task Imagine you are a conquistador on a ship sailing to the New World during the 16th century. You have decided to tell the members of your crew all about your hopes and dreams for the upcoming seafaring adventure. You must choose one of the explorers in the table below to research. Your expert knowledge of one of these daring men will uncover the answer to our question.

Extractions: Europe and Asia: Contacts and Perceptions The European era of expansion and exploration did not begin with Columbus or the late fifteenth-century Portuguese attempts to find a sea passage to India. Europeans had come into increasing contact with other lands centuries before that. The Norse discovered and settled lands throughout the North Atlantic Crusaders returning from the Middle East whetted European appetites for the spices, textiles, and other commodities. Trade with those regions increased substantially in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries since the Mongols welcomed Christian traders to cross their lands in safety. But afterward, Islamic states preferred to keep the profits of long-distance trade to themselves. New sea routes developed in the sixteenth century allowed Jesuit missionaries and Dutch, Portuguese, and British merchants to establish direct contacts with the Far East, Southern Asia, and Russia. Although these Europeans brought back many accounts of the peoples of Asia, they were a mixture of fact and fantasy that would characterize Western views of the East long after the Age of Discovery.

Extractions: A NCIENT TIMES - TH C ENTURY ravelers of the ancient world explored distant regions not only out of necessity for such things as food and shelter but also out of sheer curiosity. A wide range of water craft designs were used by ancient travelers, enabling peoples from different lands to meet and communicate. With the growth of populations in areas defined today as countries, and the formation of systems to govern these populations, it became necessary to acquire more land and resources in order to gain power and compete in the world market. Trade soon became the key motivating factor for exploration while the advancement of shipbuilding techniques allowed for exploration at farther distances and for longer duration. Arab dhow By the 8th century, Arab language, knowledge and the religion of Islam had spread across vast distances. Muslim scholars (those who followed Islam) sought out scientific knowledge when exploring other lands. These scholars were first to calculate that the earth was round. Excelling in navigation, they are credited with the invention of the astrolabe . The best known Muslim traveler is Ibn Battuta who wrote about his adventurous 14th century journeys by sea and land in a book titled "Travels". The Vikings, namely Norse explorers Bjarni Herjulfsson, Eric the Red, and son Leif Erikson, discovered Iceland, Greenland, and the coastline as far south as the northeastern American states in the late tenth century. It would be several centuries before other European peoples explored the Americas.

Extractions: Francisco Pizarro Francisco Pizarro, c.1475-1541, was the Spanish conquistador who secured Peru for Spain. The illegitimate son of a Spanish hidalgo born near Trujillo in Extremadura, Pizarro was uneducated and served as a swineherd during his youth. Shortly after the discovery of the New World, Pizarro went to Hispaniola with on of his relatives, Hernan Cortes . In 1510, Pizarro participated in an expedition to the Gulf of Uraba in north Colombia, and he was second in command when Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean in 1513. Nine years later Pizarro formed a partnership with fellow adventurer Diego de Almagro and cleric Hernan de Luque to explore lands to the south. Their first expedition reached the San Juan River in Colombia before turning back; the second expedition (1526-28), after experiencing famine, disease, and a rebellious crew, reached the Santa River in Peru and returned to Panama with gold, cloth, and llamas. When the governor of Panama refused permission for further exploration, Pizarro went to Spain (1528) to appeal directly to the king. The agreement reached gave the king of Spain all of Peru, its subjects, and its wealth. Pizarro was made a knight of Santiago (1529) and governor and captain general of the conquered lands. His partners, who received much smaller favors, felt that they had been cheated.

Extractions: Vasco Nunez de Balboa, born in 1475 in Jerez de los Caballeros, the son of a poor nobleman, was a Spanish conquistador and explorer. The first European to sight the eastern shore of the Pacific Ocean, he opened the way for Spanish exploration and settlement of South America's western coast. He set sail for the New World in 1500 as part of an expedition to the north coast of Colombia. He settled on the island of Hispaniola and tried his hand unsuccessfully at farming. In 1510, to escape his creditors, he stowed away on a ship heading for the mainland, where he founded the colony of Darien on the Isthmus of Panama. Ferdinand II, King of Aragon (Ferdinand the Catholic) appointed Pedrarias Davila as governor of Darien and named Balboa to serve under Pedrarias as governor of an area on the Pacific coast, where Balboa founded the settlement of Acla. In January 1519, Pedrarias had Balboa beheaded in Acla on false charges of treason.

Extractions: Legendary places in America Magellan goes around the globe During the early 1500's, Spanish explorers pushed across most of Central and South America. They unintentionally brought with them smallpox and other diseases that were unknown in the Americas. As a result, thousands of Native Americans, who had no resistance to these diseases, sickened and died from them. The Spanish explorers established colonies in the new lands. Royal officials, Roman Catholic priests, and settlers arrived soon after the explorers. The Indians typically were forced to work for the Spaniards. The Spaniards also brought sugar cane, wheat, and other new plants to the Americas, as well as horses, cattle, sheep, and other domestic animals. The Spaniards took back to Europe many plants that were unknown there, such as corn and potatoes. One of the most important Spanish expeditions in the New World was commanded by Hernando Cortes (kawr TEHZ), who left Cuba in 1519 with more than 600 men. He sailed to what is now the Mexican state of Yucatan, which was a center of Maya civilization. Cortes moved along the coast of Mexico and then inland to Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City), the capital of the Aztec empire. Along the way, he met an Indian woman named Malinche, whom the Spaniards called Dona Marina. Malinche, who knew both the Maya and the Aztec languages, served as an interpreter for Cortes.

Extractions: Pizarro was born in Trujillo, Spain. His father was a royal captain of infantry. Francisco's parents never married each other. Poor relatives of his mother raised the boy, who never learned to read. In 1502, Pizarro left for the West Indies. He lived for a while in Hispaniola, the main Spanish base in the New World. He may have been aided by a brother of his father's who was already in the West Indies. In 1509, Pizarro left Hispaniola to take part in exploration of the Caribbean coast of northern South America and southern Central America. He served as Vasco Nunez de Balboa's chief lieutenant when Balboa marched across the Isthmus of Panama to the Pacific Ocean in 1513. Six years later, the Spaniards founded Panama City on the Pacific coast. Pizarro was one of its wealthiest and most powerful citizens.

Small bands of Inca continued to resist the conquest but they were eventually defeated as well. With time Spanish missionaries and settlers came to colonize Peru, Equador, and Chile and the Inca culture was largely wiped out. The ancestors of the Inca still live there, the ancient Inca language "Quecha" is still spoken, and they still raise llamas. This picture showing Pizarro's arrival in South America came from

Extractions: Francisco Pizarro Biographical Facts: Pizarro was born in Trujillo, Spain in 1478. Nobody knows the exact date. His parents never married and he was brought up by his mother's parents. His father was the Royal Infantry Captain of Spain, so he was an important guy. His mother was just a regular person. During his childhood he never went to school and thus never learned to read. So he couldn't do a chore or small job that needed education. He herded pigs. After about 15 years of pig herding in 1502 he moved to the West Indies or what is now Haiti. There he lived with his father's brother. And it is said that maybe his father's brother helped Pizarro on his expeditions. Major Achievements: Pizarro's first expedition was in 1509 and he was the first mate. The captain was Balboa, another famous explorer. The expeditions purpose was to explore the land that is now Panama. The crew founded Panama City and Pizarro was an important townsperson there. Then in 1527 he made his first expedition on his own to find a rumored civilization called the Incas. Pizarro's first mate was a good friend, his name was Diego de Almagro. They sailed down the coast of western South America. There they went inland a little ways and found evidence of the Incas and gold. Then he returned to Panama with the news. The whole expedition took one year. Then when he was back in Panama he made plans to sail back to Spain and tell the King and Queen the news and get more men and provisions for crops and other foods that were not abundant in Panama. With this news, the King appointed him the governor of Peru, the name of this land that he had found. Then he sailed back to Panama, where he made plans for a long expedition and war on the Incas that would make him the ruler of Peru.
