  1. Columbian Exchange Click when ready to advance each slide DISCLAIMER: although based on facts, the ending of this presentation is not entirely historically accurate. It is intended to teach a concept…

  2. Christopher Columbus Ferdinand and Isabella Hey, Chris. We guess we could loan you some money to get around the Moors taxes. If you find a way to Asia, Spain has to own the rights to whatever you find.

  3. Christopher Columbus Ferdinand and Isabella Thanks for the dough Ferdinand and Isabella. I’m off to find a cheaper way to get stuff from Asia.

  4. CHRIS GOES TO SAN SALVADOR

  5. Christopher Columbus Arawaks Hi, my name is Chris, and these are my friends from Spain. We’re looking for Asia, but I don’t think this is it. We’re very tired and hungry from our long voyage.

  6. Christopher Columbus Arawaks Hi Chris, we call ourselves the Arawaks. Please accept our hospitality and stay here and eat our food.

  7. Christopher Columbus Arawaks Thanks for the hospitality. We’re going to leave a few guys here and return to Spain now. We’ll be back to see you again soon.

  8. CHRIS GOES BACK TO SPAIN—LEAVES A SHIP AND SOLDIERSBEHIND

  9. Christopher Columbus Ferdinand and Isabella Ferdinand and Isabella, we didn’t get to Asia, but we found something else…GOLD! And also, try this sugar stuff—it’s awesome! Plus, those Arawaks are pushovers. We could force them to mine all of the gold and farm all of the sugar for us. Can I go back?

  10. Christopher Columbus Ferdinand and Isabella Sure you can. Here’s more money and lotsa troops to start a Spanish colony. Bring us lotsa gold and sugar. Off you go!

  11. CHRIS GOES BACK TO SAN SALVADOR WITH SOLDIERS AND MORE SHIPS

  12. Christopher Columbus Arawaks X Hi Arawaks, we’re back. We’ve decided to create plantations to harvest the sugar cane and mines to mine the gold we found here last trip. Your going to do the work for us because we’ve got these big guns and you don’t. Lets get to it.

  13. Christopher Columbus Arawaks X OK, Chris, whatever you say, but you should know something first. The guys you left behind tried to push us around, so we killed them. Then, we got all of these red sores all over our body and most of us died. Those of us left are very weak and can’t work very hard.

  14. CHRIS GOES BACK TO SPAIN

  15. Christopher Columbus Ferdinand and Isabella Ferdinand and Isabella, we’ve got a problem with the Arawaks. They’re all dead. We’ve got no one left to harvest the sugar and mine the gold. We’re looking for more workers over there, but they keep dying off too. What should we do?

  16. Christopher Columbus Ferdinand and Isabella Chris, we’ve heard that West Africans are easy to push around. Maybe we could grab some of them and take them with us to the New World to mine the gold and farm the sugar…
