Causes of
• Life in Europe changed dramatically from 1450 to
1700.
• New inventions and ideas led to the Age of
Exploration.
• There are several major reasons for exploration
during this time period.
© Brain Wrinkles
© Brain Wrinkles
• Europeans desired access to natural resources (like silk
and spices) found in Asia.
• For centuries, European traders had to travel to ports
along the Mediterranean Sea in order to meet Asian
merchants and purchase their goods.
• Goods brought over land from China and India were
expensive, so Europeans decided to look for a new,
shorter route around Africa to get to Asia.
© Brain Wrinkles
© Brain Wrinkles
• Beginning in the 1400s, European nations competed
with each other to claim & explore new lands.
• While expanding their empires, these countries
improved their economic strength by finding valuable
natural resources in the new lands.
• European countries established colonies in these
places, which provided new markets for their goods.
© Brain Wrinkles
• During this time period, the predominant religion
in Europe was Christianity (in particular,
Catholicism).
• European rulers wanted to spread their religion to
other parts of the world.
• They sent explorers out to spread Christianity and
to diminish Muslim influence.
© Brain Wrinkles
© Brain Wrinkles
• Many of Europe’s explorations were for economic
reasons.
• Europeans knew that they could make a lot of
money as traders if they could get Asian goods for
a cheaper price.
• Explorers also desired to find gold and other
riches in the new lands.
© Brain Wrinkles
• Many explorers were driven by personal ambition
for glory and honor.
• They wanted the fame that came along with
discovering new lands because they knew their
monarchs would be very appreciative.
• These men desired to be national heroes.
© Brain Wrinkles
• Prince Henry the Navigator was a Portuguese prince and
naval commander who founded a navigation school for
sailors.
• Students learned navigation, astronomy, and
cartography (mapmaking); Henry’s efforts advanced
what Europeans knew about these topics.
• He paid for more than fifty expeditions to the west coast of
Africa.
• Henry wanted to establish Portuguese colonies and to
break the Muslim hold on trade routes.
© Brain Wrinkles

© Brain Wrinkles
• Prince Henry understood his country’s
dependence on the sea and eagerly financed
exploration ventures.
• He hired mapmakers to create detailed maps of
new explorations.
• Henry also employed shipbuilders who developed
a small, light sailing ship called the caravel.

Empires of
• Beginning in 1415, Portugal led the world in sea
exploration.
• For nearly 100 years, the Portuguese explored the west
coast of Africa and established trade in riches and labor.
• In 1497, Vasco da Gama sailed around the Cape of Good
Hope at the southern tip of Africa and continued on to
India.
• His crew was the first group of Europeans to reach
India by sea.
© Brain Wrinkles
© Brain Wrinkles
• Next, the Portuguese established settlements in
Brazil in South America.
• Brazil became Portugal’s most profitable colony
as it provided gold and sugar for the country.
• Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until 1822.
© Brain Wrinkles
© Brain Wrinkles
• Over the following decades, Portuguese sailors
continued to explore the coasts and islands of
east Asia and Africa.
• Portugal was more interested in trade than in
taking over a land and its people
• By 1571, a string of trading posts connected
Portugal with Africa, India, the south Pacific
islands, and Japan.
© Brain Wrinkles
• Spain’s exploration and colonization was led by the
voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492.
• Columbus, an Italian, was given ships and sailors by the
Spanish monarchy.
• His goal was to find a quick route to Asia through the
Atlantic Ocean.
• Columbus didn’t make it to Asia, but actually landed in
the Bahamas.
• Exploration of this New World brought great wealth to
Spain.© Brain Wrinkles
© Brain Wrinkles
• In 1519, Spain financed a voyage of Ferdinand
Magellan, a Portuguese explorer.
• Magellan sailed south and west around the tip of
South America and finally reached the Philippine
Islands after 18 months at sea.
• Magellan died there, but his crew returned to Spain
after sailing around the world and proved that the
earth was round.
© Brain Wrinkles
© Brain Wrinkles
• The Spanish empire was one of the largest in history.
• Spain claimed huge areas of North and South America and
established colonies there and ruled parts of them for three
hundred years.
• Spain also established a few small settlements along the
north African coast to protect its trade interests.
