Why did Europeans search for new land? The 3 G’s: Causes of Exploration

European nations were making lots of money trading with China. –Began competing with each other. –Mercantilism – economic theory that nations power depends on wealth. Portugal led exploration Spain wanted to compete! Luckily…

Christopher Columbus came along! Christopher Columbus –Wanted to find better route to Asia but needed money –Asked Spain for money and ships! –So he took off and landed…

Didn’t quite make it! Thought he made it to islands south of China. –Called them “West Indies” Spain sent a ton more ships and people to colonize the new world.

Many priests would go on voyages to spread Christianity. Tried and even forced the native people to convert.

Explorers who returned to their home country successfully were met with honor. Climbed the “social ladder” and were considered heroes.

CAUSES EFFECTS 1) Europeans wanted to find new trade route to India 2) Columbus went to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, and asked them to fund a voyage 4) America later becomes colonized by Spain first, and later by England and France 3) In 1492, he calculated the distance to India. He “discovered” the Americas Vikings discovered America 1st Gold-in search of unclaimed money God- wanting to convert people to the “right” religion In May of 1492, Columbus sailed the Ocean blue. All that were sent were very bold, They sought 3 things: Glory, God, or Gold Glory- hopes of fame for self and country

Columbian Exchange: The exchange of goods, animals, money, DISEASE, etc between the Americas and Europe. A look ahead: Why did England want to send people to the Americas? Answer: To compete with Spain!
