Clue # 1 Did You Know? Amerigo Vespucci Was the First to Recognize the Americas As Distinct Clue # 1 Did you know? Amerigo Vespucci was the first to recognize the Americas as distinct . continents.in 1587 • Amerigo Vespucci was born in Florence, Italy in 1454. Amerigo’s parents were friends with the powerful Medici family who ruled Italy from the 1400s to 1737. As a child, Amerigo became fluent in several languages. He was taught astronomy, cartography, and navigation techniques by his uncle, Giorgio Antonio. • In 1492, Amerigo moved to Spain and worked as a banking clerk for the Medicis. He became friends with a man named Giannetto Berardi. Berardi took Vespucci to see ships being prepared for exploration. Berardi was an investor in Columbus’ journey. He helped get Columbus ships, supplies and food for the journey. Vespucci met Columbus through Berardi. It is believed that Vespucci had the opportunity to prepare Christopher Columbus' ships for the voyage to the New World. Amerigo decided to work with merchants to provide supplies for voyages. Berardi died in late 1495 and Amerigo was left in charge of gathering supplies for the Spanish ships. • When his business started to fail, Amerigo decided to become an explorer and traveled to the New World at least twice. Vespucci set sail on his very first expedition with other Spanish ships. Question Who taught Amerigo cartography and astronomy? A. Christopher Columbus B. Giorgio Antonio C. The Medici family Question D. Giannetto Berardi Before he started… , Think Tank Copyright 2019 Copyright Tank Think Clue # 2 Did you know? Amerigo did very little exploring in North America. • Some of the voyages, which Amerigo Vespucci is thought to have made, are controversial. Some people believe the letters documenting his journeys are true. Others believe the letters are either exaggerated or not real. • During his first disputed voyage, it took weeks for Vespucci’s fleet to reach South America. Some historians believe Vespucci discovered Venezuela before Christopher Columbus due to a letter that is dated 1497. Vespucci wrote two letters documenting new discoveries, native people, new animals and new constellations. Vespucci returned to Spain in 1498. At the time, Amerigo’s explorations were funded by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. • On the second voyage to South America, Vespucci joined Alonso de Ojeda. Vespucci separated from Ojeda and sailed to the northeastern portion of South America. There, Vespucci discovered the Amazon River, Cape St. Augustine and Brazil. Some historians believe Vespucci’s first voyage did not happen and his second voyage was actually his first. • In 1501, Vespucci left on his third expedition to the Americas. The ships sailed along the coast of South America to Patagonia (present day southern Argentina). On this expedition, Vespucci discovered Rio de Janeiro and Rio de la Plata.

Cuando Cristóbal Colón presentó en la Península Ibérica las producciones del recién descubierto Nuevo Mundo, y con su entusiasmada y poética imaginación describió los ricos y encantadores países encontrados al medio del Océano, las ima- ginaciones no menos vivas y pintorescas de los españoles se exaltaron, y el ardor nacional tomó el rumbo de las acciones arriesgadas y de las empresas de todo género. Multitud pro- digiosa de hombres dejó su patria, para ir allá muy lejos, en busca de nuevas comarcas, de reinos poderosos, de tesoros in- mensos, y allí enriquecer pronto, ganar fama, y destruyendo a los idólatras, hacer triunfar el culto de la Santa Cruz. Nobles y pecheros siguieron el impulso general, si bien aquellos fueron respectivamente en corto número. La turba de aventureros abandonaba su país confiada y satisfecha, con- tando sólo con su corazón y con su espada. Terminaban en España las porfiadas y sangrientas guerras contra los moros; estaban frescas aún las memorias de las hazañas prodigiosas re- matadas en la Vega de Granada por los cumplidos caballeros cristianos; se admiraban todavía las proezas de los zegries y de los abencerrajes; se enardecía el pueblo con la relación de los sitios y de los combates, abultados y revestidos de formas fantásticas en las tradiciones populares; y el orgullo de la victoria, largo tiempo disputada y por heroicos esfuerzos con- seguida, infundía seguridad en los ánimos y les daba suficien- ' cia.

  • Comparing and Contrasting Views of Christopher Columbus, European Explorers and Native Americans
    I. Reaction Paper Assignment Comparing and contrasting views of Christopher Columbus, European Explorers and Native Americans. o Columbus, the Indians and Human Progress. Howard Zinn, A People’s History of the United States (2003), Chapter 1. o The Age of European Discovery. Schweikart and Allen, A Patriot’s History of the United States (2004), Chapter 1 What do you know about Columbus? Odds are, your ideas may not reflect the latest in historical research, or may be incomplete. (With thanks to Professor McKay.) In any discussion of the value of history, it's important to include this important objective: "to build that bridge that links past and present history together." History informs the present, helps us to put order into the chaos going on around us, and to recognize that people who have come before us experienced and overcame many of the same challenges we are experiencing today. Today we have a particularly pressing need to understand war. Before 9/11, few students had an interest in war. But now there seems to be a pervasive need to understand what causes war, what effects war has on society, what can be done to avoid war, or what can be used to justify our current foreign policy. That students are interested in this topic shows that our present needs determine, in fact dictate, what we consider to be important in the past. And the needs of society at a given time play an important role in how historians interpret the past. During the 1950's, when the Cold War was just beginning, we as a society had the need to prove how superior our democratic institutions were to the Soviet's.

  • Columbus Reports on His First Voyage, 1493 Introduction
    1 Columbus reports on his first voyage, 1493 Introduction On August 3, 1492, Columbus set sail from Spain to find an all-water route to Asia. On October 12, more than two months later, Columbus landed on an island in the Bahamas that he called San Salvador; the natives called it Guanahani. For nearly five months, Columbus explored the Caribbean, particularly the islands of Juana (Cuba) and Hispaniola (San Domingo), before returning to Spain. He left thirty-nine men to build a settlement called La Navidad in present-day Haiti. He also kidnapped several Native Americans (between ten and twenty-five) to take back to Spain—only eight survived. Columbus brought back small amounts of gold as well as native birds and plants to show the richness of the continent he believed to be India. When Columbus arrived back in Spain on March 15, 1493, he immediately wrote a letter announcing his discoveries to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, who had helped finance his trip. The letter was written in Spanish and sent to Rome, where it was printed in Latin by Stephan Plannck. Plannck mistakenly left Queen Isabella’s name out of the pamphlet’s introduction but quickly realized his error and reprinted the pamphlet a few days later. The copy shown here is the second, corrected edition of the pamphlet. The Latin printing of this letter announced the existence of the American continent throughout Europe. “I discovered many islands inhabited by numerous people. I took possession of all of them for our most fortunate King by making public proclamation and unfurling his standard, no one making any resistance,” Columbus wrote.

  • European Voyages of Exploration: Christopher Columbus and the Spanish Empire
    European Voyages of Exploration: Christopher Columbus and the Spanish Empire The Spanish Empire During the period from the late fifteenth through the seventeenth century, the Spanish empire expanded the extent of its power, influence, and wealth throughout the world. In particular the Spanish were responsible for exploring, conquering, and colonizing significant portions of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. The Spanish Empire, along with neighboring Portugal, launched the period known in European history as the Age of Discovery or the Age of Exploration. Compared to Portugal, Spain succeeded in establishing more permanent and complex settlements in the New World, largely through centralized colonial governments. During the Age of Discovery several other burgeoning European empires such as England and France followed the lead of the Spanish Crown and increasingly extended their power and influence throughout the New World. Starting in 1492, Queen Isabella of Castile and King Ferdinand of Aragon largely spearheaded the Age of Exploration under the newly unified kingdom of Spain. Before 1492, the Canary Islands were Spain’s only substantial territorial possession outside of Europe. By the end of the first half of the sixteenth century the Spanish Empire controlled territories in Africa, the Caribbean, and significant portions of Central and South America. During the reign of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, Spain’s empire grew and developed exponentially, as overseas exploration and colonization became one of the most important priorities for the Crown. The Spanish monarchy had the financial and political freedom to devote their resources to oceanic voyages because of the relative peace in Europe during this period that resulted from several marriages between other European royal households.

  • Christopher Columbus Was Not the Only Explorer to Sail for Spain
    October 01, 2018 Spanish Explorers Christopher Columbus was not the only explorer to sail for Spain. Some of the most famous explorers are Juan Ponce de León, Ferdinand Magellan, Hernando Cortés, Francisco Vásquez de Coronado, and Hernando de Soto. Each one of these explorers played and important role in the colonizing and exploration of the Americas. October 01, 2018 Spanish Exploration One of the most influential countries during the age of exploration would be the Spanish. Spain with the help of Christopher Columbus was the first country to reach the Americas. Exploration to Spain was not to find treasures or claim land, those would be nice to have, but it's original goal was to spread their religion. Upon Columbus' return Spain turned it's focus to claiming land and finding riches. NOTES: *Spain was the 1st country to sail west to find Asia *Reason for Exploring: ~Spreading religion ~Claiming Land ~Finding Riches October 01, 2018 Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus was the first Spanish explorer to reach the Americas, in 1492. He landed on an island and named it San Salvador and claimed the land for Spain. He believed that he had reached India so he called the native people Indians. Columbus finding a "new world" is extremely important his biggest impact might have been the excitement he stirred in other countries to explore. Columbus made 3 more voyages to the "new world" after his first. NOTES: *1st Voyage in 1492 *Claimed San Salvador for Spain *1st explorer to sail west Ferdinand Magellan Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer who set sail in 1519.
