Something accomplished by the voyage was valuable information gained to create maps of the American coastline. The highlights of this voyage were that two ship sank by…

how successful Columbus had been during his first voyage. Without explicitly saying it, Columbus was dictating to the world how magnificent his findings were and stetting the stage for the narrative that he was a great explorer. This letter became one of the principal reasons that many of his contemporaries hailed him as an exemplary explorer. To the King and queen of Spain, it was intended to substantiate and influence them to believe that Columbus’ explorations had distinction and would…

Though Columbus did not discover the New World; the European exploration of the Americas began with his search for a new ocean route to the East Indies. Instead of discovering this route, he found a place entirely new to Europeans; this is why they referred to it as the New World. This, of course, lead to the Europeans settling in these areas and conquering the native peoples in order to pursue their three main incentives; god, gold, and glory. Different historians have varying takes on exactly…

describe the landscape. My explorers are different and similar in many ways. The difference between the two is that John Cabot traveled for fame, money, and knowledge and Charles Lindbergh traveled to have that achievement of doing something that no one thought was possible. They’re also similar in many ways such as where they explored and both of the men sailed across the Atlantic. Another way they different is that John Cabot sailed across the Atlantic ocean with hundred of people and boats…

There were many consequences of the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus both good and bad but in the end the evidence leans toward the good outweighing the bad overall in the effects that Columbus’ journey and discovery had on the world both old and new. Some of the beneficial consequences, which were mostly one sided in the direction of the Europeans, that happened because of the discovery were the “Columbian exchange” of agricultural produce and animal stocks, the massive…

It is never too late to take an adventure and chase your dreams. One talented mid-aged explorer had many contributions to the Renaissance period. Some of them being his map making and navigational skills. Many know his name, but few truly know who he was. He was a “navigator and explorer who played a prominent role in exploring the new world” (Bio. Web.). So little was written on this man, but so much can be found on who inspired him to begin exploring, Christopher Columbus. Amerigo Vespucci is…

15th century made many voyages to discover North and South America. The discovery of gold in Yukon in 1896 caused what was known as the gold rush; a stampede of people in search of gold. Gold is a very valuable mineral. This discovery of gold in the Yukon led to the establishment of Dawson City in 1896, and in 1898 the Yukon Territories. Tens of thousands of men and women rushed to the Klondike gold fields in search of wealth. One of the famous writers from this time is Robert Service. Service…

travel to Asia so they could convert people to Christianity and to increase economic and political power. A water route lessened the chance of a robbery. It was important for Spain and Portugal to find a sea route to Asia because of these reasons. One of the reasons Spain specifically wanted a sea route is that their land routes to Asia crosses a lot of Muslim territory and they considered those areas unsafe. Of course, just like any other country, they wanted power and money, so in 1492 King…

(Iconn). Their first stop was at the Canary Islands (Iconn). From September 6th through October 7, 1492, Columbus sailed west over the open waters before he had them change their course to instead head south west (Iconn). There was a mutiny on board on one of the ships on Oct 10, 1492 when the crew members began to panic about not finding land and fearing they would run out of food. On Oct. 12. 1492, Columbus and his ships landed on the Watling Island in the Bahamas and claimed it for Spain.…

The “discovery” also leads to the Columbian Exchange, which was the trading of produce, animals, and diseases. Despite the death of innocent Natives, Europeans saw it as a grand opportunity: the English with their first colony being Jamestown and the French coming…
