They have no iron or steel, nor any weapons....They have no other weapons than the stems of reeds...on the end of which they fix little sharpened stakes. Even these they dare not use....they are incurably timid.... They brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells. They willingly traded everything they owned. They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want. 1. How accurate do you consider Columbus's description of the New World?

He was an illegitimate son of Gonzalo Pizarro, who as colonel of infantry afterwards served in Italy under Gonsalvo de Cordova, and in Navarre , with some distinction. Of Pizarros early years hardly anything is known; but he appears to have been poorly cared for, and his education was neglected. Shortly after the news of the discovery of the New World had reached Spain he was in Seville, he sailed to the New World in and took part in various Spanish missions of exploration and conquest. He is heard of in as having taken part in an expedition from Hispaniola to Urab under Alonzo de Ojeda, by whom he was entrusted with the charge of the unfortunate settlement at San Sebastian He accompanied Vasco Nu±ez de Balboa (whom he afterwards helped to bring to the block) in the discovery of the Pacific; and under Pedrarias d'Avila he received a repartimento, and became a cattle-farmer at

Extractions: Francisco Pizarro Francisco Pizarro, c.1475-1541, was the Spanish conquistador who secured Peru for Spain. The illegitimate son of a Spanish hidalgo born near Trujillo in Extremadura, Pizarro was uneducated and served as a swineherd during his youth. Shortly after the discovery of the New World, Pizarro went to Hispaniola with on of his relatives, Hernan Cortes . In 1510, Pizarro participated in an expedition to the Gulf of Uraba in north Colombia, and he was second in command when Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean in 1513. Nine years later Pizarro formed a partnership with fellow adventurer Diego de Almagro and cleric Hernan de Luque to explore lands to the south. Their first expedition reached the San Juan River in Colombia before turning back; the second expedition (1526-28), after experiencing famine, disease, and a rebellious crew, reached the Santa River in Peru and returned to Panama with gold, cloth, and llamas. When the governor of Panama refused permission for further exploration, Pizarro went to Spain (1528) to appeal directly to the king. The agreement reached gave the king of Spain all of Peru, its subjects, and its wealth. Pizarro was made a knight of Santiago (1529) and governor and captain general of the conquered lands. His partners, who received much smaller favors, felt that they had been cheated.

Small bands of Inca continued to resist the conquest but they were eventually defeated as well.

Extractions: After Christopher Columbus discovered the New World in 1492, many explorers sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in search of fame and fortune. The Conquistadors were a select group of explorers and adventurers, who conquered and colonized most of Central and South America in the name of the Spanish crown. Two of the most famous, and infamous, of the conquistadors were Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro. The campaigns of Cortes and Pizarro brought much wealth and prestige to the Spanish empire, while also destroying two of the largest and most powerful kingdoms in the New World, the Inca and the Aztecs. Cortes and Pizarro were both great leaders, but their personalities, backgrounds and leadership techniques could not have been more different. After he conquered the Aztecs, the Spanish sent more expeditions to Mexico and began to colonize the area, assimilating the native population to Spanish culture and converting the Aztecs to Christianity. An unforeseen result of this colonization was the deaths of many people because of new diseases being passed between the Aztecs and the Spanish. Because of his exploits in the New World, Cortes was a hero in Spain and an inspiration to many other Conquistadors including our next subject, Francisco Pizarro.

Extractions: T he G reat W eb of P ercy H arrison F awcett Diego de Almagro Diego de Almagro became an explorer and conquistador when he reached his fifty. He then spent several years taking part in one of the greatest adventures in the history of exploration-which was also one of the most infamous and brutal subjugations of a native population. From 1524 to 1534, in partnership with Francisco Pizarro Almagro explored what is now Peru and discovered and conquered its great Inca civilization. After that he led the first European exploration of present-day Chile by land, enduring great hardships in his futile quest for more gold. An illegitimate child, Diego de Almagro was probably born in the town of Almagro in the Estremadura region of Spain in about 1474. He spent the first forty years of his life in relative obscurity. Primarily a wandering adventurer during his years in Spain, he once murdered a man in a brawl. He traveled to the New World in 1514 with Pedro Arias de Avila , who was the new governor of Darien (in present-day Columbia). In 1524 he became a business partner with Francisco Pizarro and a wealthy priest

Editor's note: For additional "explorer" resources, be sure to check out this week's CURRICULUM story, Across the Sea: Europeans Explore the New World Students, perhaps distracted by the October 12 school holiday, often forget that Christopher Columbus wasn't the only explorer who sailed into uncharted seas to find an unknown land. They may not even realize that he wasn't even the first of those adventurers to set foot in the New World. Historians believe Leif Erikson, an Icelander, was the first European to arrive in North America, landing in what is now Canada in 1001. Then why is Columbus so widely-known and celebrated and Erikson so often ignored or forgotten? Pose the question before you begin exploring "Explorer" Web sites. Students should be able to answer that question and many more at the end of their online voyages.

Extractions: The Portugese all throughout the sixteenth century ruthlessly and aggressively built a monopoly in the spice trade from the east by dominating the trade routes around the continent of Africa. Spain, on the other hand, began thinking of ways to get around this monopoly by developing a western route to the eastern countries. The problem was that this route was infinitely longer than the trip around Africa and it lay across an ocean so vast that it staggered the imagination and chilled the heart. It was Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), a Genoese navigator, who convinced the Spanish to underwrite a western expedition to the eastern countries. Contrary to what you might have heard, educated Europeans knew that the world was round and had known this for millenia. Then as now, people who thought the world was flat were regarded as crackpots. Europeans also had a good idea as to the circumference of the earth; this circumference, in fact, had been accurately calculated in the second century BC. The general view, then, was that a western voyage to India would be a disaster, for the ship would have to travel thousands of miles over open ocean. The ship's crew would starve or die of dehydration long before the journey was complete.

Extractions: A NCIENT TIMES - TH C ENTURY ravelers of the ancient world explored distant regions not only out of necessity for such things as food and shelter but also out of sheer curiosity. A wide range of water craft designs were used by ancient travelers, enabling peoples from different lands to meet and communicate. With the growth of populations in areas defined today as countries, and the formation of systems to govern these populations, it became necessary to acquire more land and resources in order to gain power and compete in the world market. Trade soon became the key motivating factor for exploration while the advancement of shipbuilding techniques allowed for exploration at farther distances and for longer duration. Arab dhow By the 8th century, Arab language, knowledge and the religion of Islam had spread across vast distances. Muslim scholars (those who followed Islam) sought out scientific knowledge when exploring other lands. These scholars were first to calculate that the earth was round. Excelling in navigation, they are credited with the invention of the astrolabe . The best known Muslim traveler is Ibn Battuta who wrote about his adventurous 14th century journeys by sea and land in a book titled "Travels". The Vikings, namely Norse explorers Bjarni Herjulfsson, Eric the Red, and son Leif Erikson, discovered Iceland, Greenland, and the coastline as far south as the northeastern American states in the late tenth century. It would be several centuries before other European peoples explored the Americas.
