Unit 9: Exploration / The Americas Columbus in the New World The voyages of Christopher Columbus initiated the European exploration of the Americas. The following selections come from a letter written by Columbus upon his return from the New World. After landing in Lisbon in March 1493, Columbus sent a letter describing his discoveries to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. In the letter, Columbus describes the geography and people of the islands that he believed were in the "Indian Sea." The letter was first published in Barcelona and immediately went into multiple editions, becoming one of Europe's earliest "bestsellers." Eleven editions were published in 1493 alone. Columbus Discovers the New World Columbus's letter announcing his findings in the New World was printed along with images that illustrated his discoveries. This print depicts the inhabitants of the New World as Columbus saw them. Cortes Describes Aztec Sacrifices, 1521 Hernan Cortes (1485-1546) and his troops managed in a short time to invade Mexico and topple the Aztec civilization there, culminating in the 1523 destruction of the capital of Tenochtitlan. Cortes arrived on the mainland of Mexico as a rebel against both the governor of Cuba and the king of Spain, but he won back royal support after his conquests. In this selection taken from a letter to the Spanish king, Cortes described Aztec human sacrifices and suggested that he conquer the people in the name of Christianity. Fusing description, flattery, and a belief in the power of European civilization, this letter represents an ideal window into the mind of the Spanish conquistador.

Spanish Exploration after Columbus Columbus made four voyages in all to the New World, discovering the South American continent near the mouth of the Orinoco in the third, and reaching Honduras and the coast to the south of this region in the fourth. To the day of his death he continued under the delusion that the land he had reached was the eastern extremity of Asia. Other voyagers quickly followed. Ojeda, who had already visited Hispaniola with Columbus, sailed on his own account and explored four hundred leagues of the coast of South America in the region already discovered by Columbus. He was accompanied by Amerigo Vespucci, who made three subsequent voyages to America and wrote the first account of it that was published. This was in a Latin work printed in 1507 and prepared by a German scholar, Martin Waldseemuller, who proposed the name of America for the new continent. The suggestion was universally accepted, and Columbus lost the honor of giving his name to the New World. Other voyagers were Pedro Alonzo Nigno, who sailed to the same region of South America and passed from the Gulf of Paria to the shores of the present republic of Colombia, and Vincent Yanez Pinzon, who had commanded one of the vessels of Columbus on his first voyage, and who was the first Spaniard to cross the equinoctial line. He discovered the mouth of the Amazon River, and from there sailed north to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. About the same time (1499) Diego Lope reached the coast of South America at Cape St. Augustine, which he doubled and sailed to the southwest for a considerable distance. In 1500, Rodrigo Bastides touched South America at Cape Vela, and coasted to the present seaport of Nombre de Dios, a point which Columbus had reached in sailing south from Honduras.

History Books UK Departments Posters Calendars History Magazines Documentaries Best Sellers Posters Military Posters Browse Powell's Military Books Conquistadors by Michael Wood "Staggering brutality, heroism and endurance, and immeasurable greed", is the stuff of this 16th-century saga of the cultured Aztecs and Incas in their tribulation with the barbarous Spanish, as told by Michael Wood. He affirms these adventures were "Less of a journey more of a miracle", and certainly the Conquistadors battling through unexplored forests, paddling uncharted rivers, succumbing to altitude and starvation, and perpetrating torture and murder in the search for El Dorado is supernormal if not supernatural. Not satisfied by early finds of gold, these acquisitive prototype guerrillas drove ever on in their determination and desire for more, always at the cost of lives, even including their own relatives. Complementary to the recent television series in which Michael Wood travelled the routes taken through South and Central America by Cortes, Francisco and Gonzalo Pizzaro, and Amazon journey of Orellana, his concise visualisation and description of the destructive schemes, actions and violence of the Conquistadors, the suffering of their bearers, the impact of smallpox and the breathtakingly beautiful terrain of the Peruvian landscape...

Regents Prep Global History Movement Exploration Background The resurgence of trade following the Middle Ages in Europe resulted in a demand for goods from Asia. Trade routes were established across the Mediterranean and through the Middle East to handle this need. But, when the expansion of the Ottoman Empire caused disruption along these routes, Europeans were forced to seek alternative ways of importing these goods. This led to the exploration of water routes to Asia, and eventually the discovery of the Americas by the Europeans.

Explorer de Soto Discovered a Continent Instead of Riches By Gerry J. Gilmore American Forces Press Service Fate had other plans. De Soto found no New World wealth and his fame has dimmed with the passage of time. Ill and dispirited, he died in the wilderness and was secretly laid to rest within the waters of the great tributary he discovered. Spanish explorers in Florida a decade before de Soto were told by the inhabitants that cities of immense wealth lay just beyond the horizon, probably in the hopes of ridding themselves of the strange interlopers. The natives de Soto met in his travels offered him fish, furs and freshwater pearls, but no silver, gold and jewels. But, they also told him of lands of wealth. Besides riches, the great powers of the 16th century also believed the New World offered an ocean shortcut to the lucrative trade markets in India and China — the legendary "Northwest Passage." De Soto would come to realize to his chagrin that no such route existed. While historians agree de Soto found "Old Muddy," uncertainty exists regarding the exact path of his exploration some 230 years before the birth of the United States.

The Topic: Explorers If you are looking for information about a specific explorer, go to our Explorers - A to Z bonus page to access an indexed list of over 150 biography and information sites - - too many to fit on this page. Easier - There have always been explorers. Explorers are people who travel to or investigate unknown places. In traveling, they make or follow a route, path, or trail. Prehistoric men and women who ventured out across the continents were among the first explorers. Harder - Explorers are usually thought of as people who purposely visit and study an unknown geographic area. The golden age of exploration began in the fifteenth century as sailors from Europe ventured out and explored the world, locating routes across its oceans and continents and defining the earth's physical shape, size, and positions. Today however, explorers are persons who systematically search, examine, and investigate for the purpose of discovering unknowns in all aspects of our universe; making new discoveries and expanding frontiers in science, medicine, technology, and our environment.

HISTORY 100 WORLD HISTORY SPRING 1998 27 FEBRUARY CIVILIZATION IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE LEARNING OBJECTIVES During this assignment, you should learn to identify and discuss the following names and terms: Maize, Maya, Aztecs, Cortez, Montezuma, Inca, Francisco Pizarro. and you should have considered the following questions: When and from where did the first inhabitants of the Americas come? What was their level of culture at the advent of the Spanish? How can one account for the relatively slow development of the inhabitants of the New World? How were the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations organized? What were the bases of their economy? Why did they fall so easily to the small armies of Spanish? How did matters of health influence European discovery and exploration? TEXT European explorers were not surprised to find evidence of rich civilizations in what they came to call "the New World." There had been fabulous travel tales around for a long time, such as The Travels of Sir John Mandeville and variations of The Voyages of Sindbad , as well as tales of the immense wealth of lands beyond the seas. What they found in the Western Hemisphere was a peculiar mixture of wealth and poverty, sophistication and backwardness.
