Prior to the European age of exploration and conquest, the continent underwent many changes that lead to the desire and capability to begin exploration. The continent suffered a dark age of little innovation and great illness during the Middle Ages with the Black Death killing millions and spreading rapidly, and the Hundred Years’ War rampaging the continent increasing violence. By the 1350s, however, a new age of enlightenment descended upon the continent. The Renaissance spurred a new sense…

Walter Raleigh was born in England around 1552 and grew up in a farmhouse near east of Burleigh Devon England.

Marco polo was born 1254 in Venice Italy was perhaps the worlds greatest adventurer. He traveled across much of Europe and Asia between the years 1271-95.

Although most of his travels where in Asia before his death on January 8. 1325 Marco Polo was able to see a large portion of the world. Perhaps he was able to view the portrait of Madonna Enthroned…

wiped out. This was a major blow to earlier civilizations in the Americans as well as an opportunity for Europeans to forge a partially new population of their own citizens and slaves imported from Africa. The devastation occurred over a period of one hundred fifty years, although in some areas it was faster. The same dreadful patters played out, devastating vibrant cultures, when Europeans made contact with Polynesians and Pacific Coast peoples in the eighteenth century. New World crops were…

Columbus’s legacy is debated because some people regard him as explorer and discoverer who initiated the modern age while other people associate him with imperialism, colonialism,and conquest. The reason for the hate towards Columbus is the fact that Columbus caused the death of millions of native people through disease and the fact that he initiated the Atlantic slave trade. However, other people argue that the sacrifices were worth bringing the two worlds together. When the two hemispheres…

The sandglass was the primary source of timekeeping. Also known as an hourglass, this device consisted of two glass bulbs stacked upon each other, one filled with sand. An assigned sailor flips the sandglass on the top of every hour when the sand empties from one bulb to another.

The Columbian exchange is a critical aspect of the development of the Americas and the history that was going to be established.

be at stage 5, when you 're one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world, it is imperative that you strive to become an analytical competitor and make analytics your most precious competitive advantage. In my opinion, Pfizer is operating at a stage 5; not only do we have upper management involvement/sponsorship in analytics, but we have distinctive capabilities, use enterprise-wide analytics and have large scare ambition3. This has positioned Pfizer as one of the biggest…

to know in advance any of the negative outcomes that could or would form between the Old and New Worlds. I also think that the formation of the Columbian Exchange was a good thing for the world in general. Civilizations historically do not stay in one place. It is in our nature to explore and seek out new places and advance our knowledge. Traveling to the New World would have happened with or without Columbus. Furthermore, without the expansion to the New World, the advances in medicine and…
