Resumo de Recurso
Age of Exploration
Portugal's Motivation
find a sea route to Asia that bypasses the Arabs in the Middle East
found a route around Africa to Asia, with established harbors along the African coast
Arabs were tolling the traders - the Middle East was a crossroads
Spain's Motivation
to have something to do and invest in; to find a Western sea route to Asia
Spain had just finished ending Muslim occupation in 1492
Portugal had taken the South/East sea route
commissions Christopher Columbus in 1492
mistakenly found N. and S. America
stayed in S. America for gold, silver, and native labor
England's Motivation
desire for a "northwest passage" to the Pacific Ocean through N. America
N. American was untouched by Spain because it had less gold and silver
found land fit for colonies instead
Spain's Exploration
found gold, silver, and slave labor in S. America
Spain was not interested in colonies, only in making a profit
stayed on the Caribbean Islands until the gold ran out, then used as a base of exploration
Vasco de Gama, 1513 - overland to Pacific
Ponce de Leon, 1513 - explored Florida
Ferdinand Magellan, 1519-1522 - circumnavigation
Hernando Cortes, 1519-1521 - conquered Aztecs
Francisco Pizarro, 1531 - began conquering Incas
nearly 175,000 Spaniards came to the New World and found success
this attracted threats
The Dutch, English, and French attacked Spanish silver ships; rebellions in colonies
Spain forced to spend more and more money on defense
had no more profits by 1640, came out of AoE as a second-rate country
Dutch Exploration
originally trading with Spain
Dutch were Protestant, Spanish were Catholic - Spain cut off ports when the Dutch refused to convert
Dutch go to New World to undercut Spanish
found New Netherland on Hudson River
found New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island
Dutch government was not interested, too busy fighting Spain
opened N. America for English and Canada for French
