  17. 1st European Explorer Leif Ericson – Around 1000 1st European to set foot on North America  Viking Explorer • Sailed from Greenland • Landed along the coast of Canada. • Settled Briefly, but Returned to Greenland

  18. Age of Discovery • For almost 3 centuries, European nations would challenge each other for rights to the Western Hemisphere.

  19. Europeans believed the world consisted of only 3 continents:

  20. Far East • Europeans were really interested in the Far East (a region of Southeastern Asia that included India, China, and Japan).

  21. Source of Goods • Silk • Spices • Tea • Gems

  22. Muslim traders in western Asia, however, controlled the land and sea routes over which these goods were supplied to the west. • The Age of Discovery began because European nations wanted their own direct access to the Far East.

  23. Portugal • Portugal took an early lead in this race. • Explored the western coast of Africa in search of an eastern route to the Indies. • In 1497, Vasco de Gama was the first European to journey to India by sea. 

  24. Spain • Christopher Columbus believed that only ocean separated Europe from the Indies... • King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella financed his great exploration. • Columbus was instructed to discover and conquer any islands or continents he should find on behalf of Spain.

  25. Columbus Sets Sail • Christopher Columbus and his crew set sail aboard the The Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria. • Journey Took 6 Weeks

  26. Columbus discovered San Salvador Island (part of today’s Bahamas) on October 12, 1492.

  27. Convinced that these were part of the Indies, Columbus called the dark-skinned natives – Indians (term Europeans came to apply to all natives in this newly discovered world.)

  28. Disappointed to find no silk, spices, or riches, except for native jewelry. • Returned to Spain with the great news that a westward route had been found.

  29. Columbus later explored the coasts of Central and South America and other Caribbean islands.

  30. Amerigo Vespucci • Italian • Businessman •  Mapmaker

  31. America  Convinced that a new continent had been found  Called the new region a New World named the new land “America.”  Soon other explorers discovered that “America” was not just one continent but two...

  32. Line of Demarcation All lands east of this line could be claimed by Portugal, while land to the west (including Georgia) went to Spain.

  33. England & France Other European nations refused to accept Spain and Portugal’s division of the Americas between themselves.  England and France prepared to make their own explorations.

  34. England In 1497, John Cabot sailed from England to the northeastern coast of North America.

  35. The Race Is On... Spain financed more than 80 voyages to the New World during the 12 years after Columbus’s first voyage.

  36. How much land could an explorer claim and for how long? Any first discovery claims had to be followed by actual occupation  It was not enough to plant a flag on the beach.  To enforce a claim, settlers and soldiers from the explorer’s country must follow and colonize (occupy and control) the land.  Did not require permission from Native Americans.  Felt a moral duty to convert the natives to Christianity.
