already know about exploration.

The Age of Exploration
Europe Encounters the World
What are we learning today
8.2A Identify reasons for
European exploration and
colonization of North America.
8.2 B Compare economic, religious, and social
reasons for the establishment of the 13 English
colonies.
Why did explorations happen when
they did?
►A
variety of factors all came together
to make the time period (1450-1700)
the “age of exploration”
►Some of these factors were pushes,
external forces acting on Europe
►Some were pulls, motivations and
things that attracted the Europeans
How did these explorations begin?
The first to encourage new
ship explorations was
Prince Henry of Portugal,
known as “Prince Henry
the Navigator”
► Started an institute for
seafaring and exploring
► Combined ship technology
learned from Islam with
new European innovations
► By the time of his death in
1460, Portuguese had
sailed as far south as the
Gold Coast of West Africa
►
What are we learning today?
8.2A Identify reasons for European
exploration and colonization of North
America.
What were the new technologies that
enabled explorations?
► The
caravel was a new, faster,
more maneuverable ship
► Older
ships had square sails,
caravels had triangular sails
(easier to change direction)
► Bilge
pump system enabled ship
to float higher (less likely to
run aground, easier to explore
coasts and rivers)
► Compass,
astrolabe, maps and
other technologies from Islamic
culture all helped make
explorations possible
Growth in Trade
► In
the Middle Ages
Marco Polo (1254-1324)
returned from China and
encourage an increase in
trade.
► Emergence
of Powerful
European Rulers
Wanted to extend their influence
through exploration.
► Desire
for Profits
Capitalist economy was just
emerging and people were seeing
new wealth from investment and
trade.
►
Religious Enthusiasm
Missionaries from Spain and
Portugal sought to spread Christian
religion.
What is the easiest way to
remember it all?
► The
Three G’s:
 Gold
 Glory
 God
► Although
a little simplistic, this
mnemonic is a great way to
remember the main motivations
of the European explorers.
► Gold
The First G: Gold
was a hot item that explorers were looking
for, but remember that it is really wealth ($$$),
not just literal gold that explorers were after.
► Europe needed gold (and silver) to fuel the rising
banking system
► Europeans also desired spices
► Other natural resources would come to be sold for
profit as well (timber, sugar, tobacco, ivory, etc.)
► This competition will be enhanced by the idea of
mercantilism, the idea that there is only so
much wealth in the world, and that to make your
kingdom strong you must have more gold and
wealth than the other kingdoms
Exploration--Mercantilism
Financial Reasons for
Exploration--Mercantilism
Principles of mercantilism:
Nation’s wealth depends
on capital.
Labor
Land
capital= one of the factors
of production
bullion (gold or silver). A
nation needed as much as
possible.
Capital
mercantilism
tenets of mercantilism
► 1.Mercantilism is : Trade=money= power
for the mother country
► converted into other forms of power: such
as military instruments, influence, and territory
The New territory exist for the Mother Country.
► Fundamental
mercantilism
1.Mercantilism is : Trade=money= power
For Whom?????

►
Governments need raw materials for products
produced in the nation. They get the raw materials from the
colonies at a low price that they use to make a product
that they sell back to the colonies at a high price.
Governments controlled corporations and trading
companies.
Governments regulated production so nation
could be exporting more than it imported.
Sought exclusive trading rights with foreign
powers and “new world,” which led to rivalries with
other European powers.
Established in the colonies for purpose of bring wealth
back to the mother country.

tapestry from 1502.
Just like the first G, Gold,
Glory was a relatively new
idea in Europe
Came out of the
Renaissance ideal of
Humanism, and the focus
on individual achievement
With the rise of the
printing press, the idea of
gaining fame for one’s
actions was more possible
Also, individual kings
wanted glory for their
kingdoms, competition

The third G: God
► Europeans
have always felt it was their godly duty to
spread Christianity and convert non-believers to their
form of Christianity.
► After the Protestant Reformation, competition will
spring up to convert people to their form of
Christianity
► Colonization of the new world will become a race to
convert native peoples to a particular brand of
Christianity
► Jesuits (Catholics) are some of the most active
► People came to the New World to be able to practice
their religion without fear of persecution

Effects of European Exploration
► Spanish
Explorers claimed “New Spain” which is
present day Mexico.
► France set up Fur trade with the Native American in
“New France which was Ohio River valley to the
Mississippi River and up into Canada.
► England (Great Britain) claimed the land along the
Atlantic Ocean called it the thirteen colonies.

Exploration led to colonization of the new
world which shifted wealth and power away
from Mediterranean region to the countries
of Western Europe toward Spain, England
and France.
Spain was enriched by American gold and silver.
Spanish colonies were very successful in bringing
wealth and pride to Spain. This led to England and
France to start Exploration and colonization.
Effects of Exploration
• England rulers desired to stake a claim for lands and
riches to match Spain’s wealth.
• France set up a fur trade with Native American to
gain wealth.
