Technology • The Renaissance looked to man’s potential • Technology took this potential to explore the world • New technology made navigation in the open ocean possible • Triangular sail (made it possible to sail against the wind) from Muslims • The astrolabe (from Muslims) and the magnetic compass (from the Chinese) made navigation easier • All of these were put to work on the Caravel (a new type of ship) Answer these questions on the same piece of notebook paper as 1-3. 4.

The Portuguese valued this new route to Asia. The Spanish Play Catch Up • In 1492, Christopher Columbus accidentally landed in the Caribbean and thought it was Asia. • Columbus was trying to find a sea route across the Atlantic directly to Asia. America was in the way. • Portugal and Spain started to argue about the land that was being explored and the Pope stepped in to settle the dispute. The Pope drew a line north to south that divided the world into two parts. In 1494, the Treaty of Tordesillas was signed by the two nations that would guide the settling of the Americas.
