Questions Archive True History of the Conquest of New Spain " ("Hispaniola is a marvel"), testifies to the value of what he found and disarms skeptics who might try to detract from his accomplishments. Sometimes, the impulse to promote their discoveries in the New World led narrators to attempt to translate their experiences of wonder into terms of non-wonderthat is, to graft the familiar onto the unfamiliar in order to sell their audiences on the worth of what they found. When Columbus talks about the birds, animals, plants, and resources he found on the islands, he often compares them to their corresponding objects in Europe in order to make his experiences intelligible to his audience. When he writes of hearing nightingales singing on Hispaniola, for instance, he attempts to create a sense of comforting familiarity within the strangeness of the New World: in fact, nightingales are not native to the West Indies, and Columbus could not have heard any singing.

EUROPEAN AGE OF EXPLORATION AND EARLY EMPIRES (outline) Before the 15 th century (the 1400s) Western Europe was still lagging far behind the rest of the world in terms of ship technology and exploration. The main impetus for the boom, which started in the 1400s, and continued for the next several centuries, was financial. PORTUGUESE EXPLORATION AND INNOVATIONS Portugal led Western Europe in exploration due to several factors. As a longtime naval and trading power in the Mediterranean area, they were already oriented toward the east, and had extensive contact with Islamic cultures. From these Islamic cultures, they had learned better ship design, cartography, sailing and navigation and math skills. The Portuguese had been relatively unhurt by the plague, due to their physical isolation during the 14 th century from the rest of Europe, and they were one of the stronger European powers early on. The strong national identity, strengthened by the significant physical borders protecting the country, led to a national pooling of resources. The Portuguese explored the African coast in the period 1415-1600. They were looking mainly for gold, salt and pepper, but about 175,000 slaves were taken as well. After 1600, when the English and Dutch also got involved in the African trade, this number would increase dramatically. PRINCE HENRY THE NAVIGATOR : (1394-1460) a Portuguese ruler, he was looking looking for new routes to trade with Asia. Prince Henry, who had a fervent interest in maritime arts, concentrated the wealth of his government on improving cartography and ship design.

In the summer of 1519, Alonso Alvarez de Piñeda, sailing for Francisco de Garay, Governor of Jamaica, took a fleet of four ships east to west around the Gulf Coast. Limits to the New World, limits to exploration, were already realized, and Spanish conquistadors and governors scrambled for claims amid a cloud of royal documents of permission and military moves. the land in the way might be valuable. One could hope for silver and gold as Mexico had provided, and the land might be good for successful cattle raising such as Garay had done.

var TlxPgNm='id62'; BACK THE AGE OF EXPLORATION Why do people explore anyway? Because humans are curious. We always wanted to know what lays behind that mountain or across the river. The first "discoveries" were probably accidents, such as Vikings missing Greenland and ending up in Americas. Organized explorations were also a part of our history since the earliest civilization. These organized explorations were usually done to claim new land, find new resources like mines and hunting, or to spread religion. One of the greatest time for the organized explorations came at the end of Renaissance and we call it the Age of Exploration. Renaissance changed the Europe - after the centuries of Dark Ages, people wanted to explore. They wanted to know more about everything. They had new ideas for politics, arts, and economy. There were also more and more people in Europe and they needed food and place to live. European land was divided already and common and poor people had very little chance of owning a land. Also, religion started playing a big role in societies and they tried to spread Christianity everywhere. Let's not forget the glory! Rich and powerful countries such as British Empire, France, Portugal and Spain wanted fame and glory. They wanted to claim new lands and riches. So, they backed the adventures and provided them with ships, crews, and supplies. In return , the lands they"discover" would be theirs with all of their riches. Never mind the Native People!

EXPLORATION, ENLIGHTENMENT AND ENTERPRISE: THE MOTIVES FOR PACIFIC EXPLORATION IN THE LATE EIGHTEENTH AND EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURIES John Gascoigne School of History University of New South Wales What was it that prompted Europeans of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to condemn themselves to long and dangerous voyages in wooden ships which, as Cook found on the Barrier Reef, were all too vulnerable to the vagaries of unknown lands? The perennial motives of a quest for strategic and economic advantage played a large part in this as in most ages but what is interesting is the extent to which such motives were combined or, at least to some extent, masked by the quest for knowledge of both the natural and human world. Consequently, exploration could be regarded as consistent with the goals of the Enlightenment and the motto that Kant attributed to it: ‘ Aude sapere ’, ‘Dare to know’. The Pacific voyages of the late eighteenth century had, of course, been preceded by the extraordinary explosion outwards of the Spanish and Portuguese in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Their motives were evident enough and often stated: the quest for gold, God and glory as the crusading spirit which had led to the reconquest of Spain from the Muslims then spilt out onto the larger global arena with the burning ambition to claim new souls for the Holy Catholic Church and new wealth and territory for the King of Spain. In this period, then, idealism of another sort combined with and, to some extent, coloured the quest for direct economic or national advantage as religion justified action. Nor did religious idealism always suit national needs, as the King of Spain found when his nation’s reputation was blackened by the impassioned denunciation of the behaviour of the conquistadors by the missionary, Las Casas.

Conquest of North America Hernando de Soto, Coronado and Cabeza de Vaca by Donald E. Sheppard THE NATIVES by STATE Translations This Site describes the 15 year Conquest of Native America. Hernando de Soto , Spain's foremost American explorer, spent years searching for a seaway to China in order to trade Spain's New World gold. He followed trails that we use as highways. His records describe villages along those trails at places that are cities again today. His effect on this continent would be enduring. Cabeza de Vaca 's eight years in North America, starting in 1528, set the stage for Hernando de Soto, and Coronado, to lead armies deep into America in 1540: Coronado from Mexico City, DeSoto from Cuba, Spain's New World "Ellis Island." Vaca was the first European to describe this continent, but only near its southern shoreline. DeSoto, at age 39, was rich from Incan gold and wanted to colonize North America. To do so, he planned to open a passage to trade Spain's New World fortunes with China, the finest market in the world. Intelligent Indians had told Vaca of a " Northern Sea " which DeSoto believed was the Pacific Ocean, the sea Balboa discovered beyond Panama, DeSoto's boyhood home.
