Impact of Exploration and Colonization

The effects of Advance in Techology

The compass is a very beneficial tool in travel for land, sea and air to aid in directions. The Astrolabe helped advance the study of the universe and the caravel gave way to allowing not only our modern day cruise ships to be able to travel faster and smoother but also aids in the improvement of defense by naval ships.

Advances in Technology

Astrolabe to determine the position of heavenly bodies. Compass to determine directions Caravel allowed for sleeker and faster ships

Plantation colonies

The long term effects of plantation colonies led to the organizing of states and towns. Plantation colonies also could have been what started farming because the people on this land planted crops to make a living so we think farming and agriculture communities came from this concept.

Plantations were early methods of colonization where settlers established permanent or semi-permanent colonial bases. These bases where frequently used to spread western culture and Christianity to the indigenous people.

Trading Outpost

France started the trading outposts and since everyone would meet there they decided that they wanted these trading outposts in their countries too (Europe and America). We think these trading outposts are what started the ones we still have in America and all over the today.

In our opinion this was the basis for food markets and grocery stores. It gave us the idea to share and sell our goods with the civilization.

Commercial Revolution

Merchantilsim-colonies provided raw materials and then bought finished product. This provided more opportunities for people and broke down classes.

Capitalism - private ownership where owners risk their own money to start business.  Supply/demand

The effects of the Explorers

All of the explorers were seeking to find new lands, inventions and products that could use and/or sell.

With the discovery of new lands this allowed for new countries to be founded and colonized.

The importing of spices, silk and other products have allowed us to have flavors to foods that otherwise would have been bland in comparison. The discovery of silk and other products have allowed the luxury of clothes that would have otherwise be rough and uncomfortable

Global trade impacted the interactions between nations in Europe, America, Spain and Africa.

England also wanted the gold that Spain was looking for. When they could not find it they bombarded their ships. This act was lead by Sir Walter Raleigh who was a pirate employed by the Throne of England.

Spain found gold and other countries became envious.

The gold they had found from America was being used to trade back in Spain to other countries.

Africa sold the slaves to England and Spain.

The slaves were promised profit of their work.

Countries began to explore in search of the new world in seek of new merchandise and products.
