Indirect Discoveries►Norse (Vikings)
985: Eric the Red, Greenland1000 AD: son, Leif Ericsson, Newfoundland; probably first European to reach N.A.
►Marco Polo1275-1292, ItalyExplored China, opened up trade in the Far East
![Page 11: Age of Exploration…or Age of Invasion?](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568162d0550346895dd35d78/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
►Norwegian legends say Leif was followed by another expedition that stayed in Newfoundland for 3 years until being driven out by Natives. The colonists didn’t return and for the next 4 ¾ centuries, there was no known contact between Europeans and North Americans, until the late 1400s-1500s when a series of voyages took place.
►Why was this accomplished in the late 15th century and not before?

Moves toward exploration►Renaissance: intellectual, artistic,
scientific, creativity, technological change, attitudes, religious zeal/conflict (1350-1600, height late 1400s, early 1500s)
►Technological growthgunpowder (Chinese)sailing compass (Chinese)improvements in shipbuilding, mapmakingprinting press-1450, Johannes Gutenberg

Reasons To Sail► Political power (centralized nation states: common
culture/loyalty)-provide means to finance/support exploration (Portugal, France, Spain, Netherlands, England), bring in revenue
► Urbanization► Economic (competition for trade: Africa, India,
China), greed, NW Passage?► Religious zeal (Catholic vs. Protestant) (Protestant
Reformation, Calvinism-1500s vs. Catholic Spain)► Curiosity► Advances in technology and knowledge
► BUT…Expensive, dangerous and time consuming

► Negatives:failure-didn’t find a new route, found a “New World”erroneously named “Indians”land discovered not even named after him, but rather another Italian, Amerigo Vespucciexchanges-germs/diseases
► Positives:skills as a navigatordaring/commitmentpermanent interaction between Europeans and Native Americansexchanges: new era of trade (Columbian Exchange)
