    The document discusses the Age of Exploration beginning in the 1400s. It describes how Europeans originally thought the world was flat but began exploring by ship at the end of the 1400s. The Renaissance period saw renewed interest in geography, inventions, and trade. Europeans wanted to trade with Asia but had to go through Muslim nations, so explorers like Henry the Navigator sought new trade routes by sea. Christopher Columbus' voyage in 1492 discovered the Bahamas islands, proving the world was round rather than flat. Other explorers like Vespucci and Magellan made discoveries across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in the early 1500s, expanding European knowledge of geography and trade routes.

    Some of the key takeaways are that in the 1400s many people thought the world was flat, exploration increased in this time period, and new trade routes were sought after.

    The Europeans wanted to become rich so they decided to have trade with Asia, trading goods like silk, porcelain, spices and jewels. However, they had to go through Muslim nations to do so.

    Henry the Navigator built a school in Portugal to teach sailors about finding new routes to Asia.

    Reflection

    I really enjoyed doing this project this project was super


    interesting and I learned a lot from this unit and how they
    traded.Now I understand how the Europeans got rich they got
    rich by trading with the Fareast but it took some time for them to
    reach the Fareast.I learned different peoples perspectives and
    what they thought.

    Christopher Columbus found that the world was round not


    flat.This topic was so fun and I enjoyed doing the Power Point and
    making the timeline.
