1. Religious Rivalries
Chapter 2- Section 3

2. Guided Reading Question?
What were the motives behind the Age of Exploration?

3. Religious Rivalries
The Europeans who explored and settled in North America in the 1500s sought wealth. (GOLD)
They also wanted to spread their Christian faith. The first to arrive were Roman Catholic. (GOD)
They also wanted to have the biggest empires with the most land and to spread their culture to other areas of the world because they believed their cultures were superior (GLORY)

4. Luther and the Reformation
In 1517 a German priest named Martin Luther nailed 95 theses- a list of complaints on the door of a local Catholic church, questioning the power and authority of Catholic leaders—including the pope, the head of the Catholic Church. 
Luther hoped to spark reform (movement) within the Church, but Pope Leo X rejected his ideas. Others agreed with Luther. His ideas helped launch a movement called the Reformation.
The movement led to a new form of Christianity called Protestantism.
The Reformation led to widespread conflict within and between the nations of Europe.

6. Fall of the Spanish Armada
1. Religious and economic rivalry led Spain and England to go to war in the 1580s.
2. Spain built a huge naval fleet known as the Spanish Armada
3. In 1588, England destroyed the Spanish Armada
Consequences:
Spain could no longer use its military to keep England from creating colonies the “New World”
England began to colonize in America

7. Religious Rivalries in the Americas
Catholics from Spain and France worked to spread their faith among the Native Americans.
Religious differences contributed to the rivalries between these settlements.
Spain/France = Catholic
Holland (Dutch)/English = Protestant

8. Search for a Northwest Passage
Something else that contributed to competition among these colonies was the race to discover a Northwest Passage.
Explorers also hoped to discover a northwest passage to Asia, a direct water route through the Americas.

10. Exploring the Mississippi River
In 1682 Robert Cavelier de La Salle followed the Mississippi all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
He claimed the region for France, calling it Louisiana in honor of Louis XIV.
In 1718 the French founded New Orleans.

11. French and Dutch Settlements
In 1663 New France became a royal colony.
French settlement in North America advanced slowly. New France was made up of estates along the St. Lawrence River.
The French got along well with the Native Americans. French trappers and missionaries lived among them, learned their languages, and respected their ways.
The missionaries had come to convert Native Americans to Catholicism, but they did not try to change their customs.
After Hudson’s voyage, the Dutch began to explore the Americas.

12. Recap Martin Luther – German Priest (Protestant Reformation)
John Cabot – Italian but represented England. (Northwest Passage)
