Extractions: 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. A strong national identity early on, 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; mainly looking for gold, salt and pepper, but about 175,000 slaves were taken as well. After 1600, when the English and Dutch got involved in the African trade as well, this number increased 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.

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.

Extractions: Licentiate Cepada, Spanish Provincial Judge After waiting for years to fulfill his dream of leaving Spain to see the New World, a man named President La Gasca finally received his opportunity. Prior to his departure however, he received a letter from Licentiate Cepeda, a judge in one of the Spanish provinces in the New World. In his letter Cepeda cautioned his friend that, despite his eagerness to see the wonders of this hemisphere, the conditions of settlement were not what he perhaps expected. Cepeda warned, "They live not like kings(Cepeda 13)." The idea that the Spanish Conquistadors lived lavishly upon the labor and exploitation of the indigenous population has long been the typical conception of life in the New World. This perception is not entirely accurate. While the Spanish did indeed live off the exploitation of the Indians, it was not always a lavish lifestyle and certainly not at first. The conditions initially faced by the conquistadors were filled with struggle against the natural elements, financial difficulty, threat of violence and the necessity to adapt to the conditions of this "New World." These factors, along with the conquistadors close interaction with the indigenous people created a new type of culture, and a new class of elite, far different from that which they left behind in Europe. The Conquistadors first arrived in the Andean region in early decades of the 16th century. In the Spanish push across Central America to the Pacific coast in 1513, a young captain named Francisco Pizarro gained invaluable experience that would eventually help him earn the infamous reputation as the Conquistador of the Inca. In 1526, these Conquistadors led their own exploration from Panama to the Andes and into contact with the Inca Realm(Gabai 15). By 1532, Inca Atahuaplla had been captured and the Spanish presence was entrenched enough to bring the first wave of settlement to populate their expanding empire.

A WebQuest for 5th Grade Question l Background Information l Tasks l Resources l Activities l Assessment Question Why did the Spanish explorers risk their lives to explore new lands? Background Information The age of exploration was driven by a combination of many forces. European countries had a variety of political, religious, and economic reasons to explore new lands. Individual explorers often shared some of the same motives as the nations they represented but often they had their own reasons for exploring. The Spanish conquistadors were one group of explorers who sailed for Spain. They explored the Americas during the first half of the 1500's. It was during this time that the Spanish dominated the settlement of the Americas. Task Imagine you are a conquistador on a ship sailing to the New World during the 16th century. You have decided to tell the members of your crew all about your hopes and dreams for the upcoming seafaring adventure. You must choose one of the explorers in the table below to research.

Extractions: Captain Juan Bautista de Anza (1736-1788) was a Mexican-born trailblazer and explorer. He was the first person of European descent to establish an overland trail from Mexico to the northern Pacific coast of California (then called New Albion). He found a corridor through the desolate Sonoran Desert. His expeditions brought hundreds of settlers to California. He founded the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose. De Anza was the commander of the presidio at Tubac. CABEZA DE VACA, ALVAR NUNEZ Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca [Cabeza de Vaca means "head of a cow"] (1490?-1557?) was a Spanish explorer who sailed to North America from Spain, leaving in 1527. He traveled from Florida to Texas on a raft, then walked from Texas to Mexico City. He also explored the Paraguay River in South America. De Vaca and his fellow travelers were the first Europeans to see the bison, or American buffalo

Extractions: Laying the Foundations: Pre-Columbian Exploration and Colonization of the New World W. Robert Hagen A special edition of Life magazine recently ranked the top one hundred people and events of the past millennia. Christopher Columbus and his faithful voyage were ranked second in both categories. This list of course is arbitrary at best, however there is no disputing the change that took place on a global scale, effecting the economies, politics and the lives of ordinary people throughout the world, as result of his efforts. Although this Genoese sailor is given credit (or blame depending on your viewpoint) for this change, I believe that there is more than enough historical and archeological evidence to support the claim that Christopher Columbus was not the first non-native North American to land in the New World. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that people as diverse as the Phoenicians, the Vikings, the Irish, the Welsh, the Chinese, the Japanese and English fisherman were actually in the New World, in some cases, millennia before 1492. All totaled there are at least nineteen different groups of explorers that may have arrived in the Western Hemisphere prior to Columbus (Boland, xiv). Although some of these visitations are no more than myths, this paper will focus on the archeological evidence that exists to prove the point that Columbus was not the first visitor to the shores of the New World. Further evidence will be given by presenting written accounts of historians ranging from the ancient Greeks to modern times that seems to support this claim and accounts that were written has close to the events themselves.

Extractions: Exploration and Conquest Colombia Table of Contents The group of Spaniards that first came to the New World consisted of conquistadors, administrators, and Roman Catholic clergy. The adventurous conquistadors were risk-taking entrepreneurs, financing their own expeditions in the expectation of being able to get rich quick. The administrators were appointed by and represented the crown in the colonies and sought to maintain the New World colonies as a source of wealth and prestige for the Spanish Empire. The clergy sought to save the souls of the native Indians, and in the process they acquired land and wealth for the church. The conquistadors, who felt they owed nothing to the crown, often came into conflict with the latter's attempts to centralize and strengthen its authority over the colonies. In what became present-day Colombia, the conquistadors explored and began to settle the coastal areas. The first explorers to round the coast of the Guajira Peninsula and enter Colombian territory were Alonso de Ojeda in 1499 and Rodrigo de Bastidas in 1500. In 1510 Ojeda founded Santa María la Antigua de Darién (present-day Acandí) on the western side of the Golfo de Urabá. Bastidas established Santa Marta in 1525. In 1533 another explorer, Pedro de Heredia, organized Cartagena after pacifying the Indians in the area. These coastal cities served as havens from Indian attacks and as bases for exploratory expeditions into the interior. In addition, Cartagena linked the colonies with the motherland and became a focal point of intercontinental travel.

Extractions: References DeSoto Lunar Activity "We had news that we were going in search of a land that an Indian boy had told us was on another sea... He said that he was from another land... and that a woman ruled it. Her town was of wonderful size... and she collected gold in abundance from her Chiefs..." The DeSoto Chronicles The King of Spain had given "Governor" Hernando DeSoto only four years to colonize and hold America from the Port of Havana, Cuba. DeSoto's long journey through America, searching for riches in order to entice more Spanish settlers to his new colony, was well documented in candid, personal diaries by members of his all volunteer "army." These first-hand accounts of Native America (as in the above quotation) were written by people caught up in something they had little understanding of and no control over. Their works , misunderstood for centuries, are the only spoils of Spain's "Conquest of America." Our land and Indians would never be the same again; theirs is the only account of what it was like when Europeans first sighted America's Indians. What follows is their story, sketchy in places, incredible in others. It's the story of Spain's failed conquest of our continent.

Both Coronado's and DeSoto's Trails would lead to places north of Houston. Both reversed direction there. Spain would never return for another search for whatever Vaca privately told the two Conquistadors was located there; nor did Vaca publish whatever he told them. England and France would continue searching for a Northern Passage for the rest of that Century, allowing the Spanish leeway elsewhere.
