EQ: Why did nations desire to explore and how
were they able to?
Brainstorm: from what you currently know about the time period of 1300-1600, think of
reasons why a European country would want to explore and what they would need to
explore
1. The Renaissance
• New spirit of adventure and curiosity• Marco Polo’s adventure to China
– People were fascinated by other cultures• Ask the question: what else is out there?
2. Religion
• Catholic Church – Missionaries - Jesuits–Need to get new converts
since Protestant Reformation
–Spread its power–Compete with the
Protestant nations
3. Monarchies - Power• After Renaissance/Reformation,
monarchies have more power in their country
• Goal: to expand their nation’s power
4. Wealth/Trade• Trade from Asia had shown what
resources were out there–Nutmeg, ginger, silk, fabrics, sugar,
pepper, etc…– http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtpuBsLHMd8&feature=youtu
