  • 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.

He also gave a brief description of the native Arawaks whom he called " Indians " , emphasizing their docility and amenability, and the prospects of their conversion to Catholicism. He and his brothers ruled the settlement like kings, taking most of the profits for themselves and antagonizing the other settlers. It is believed that he was ashamed to have come from such a mundane background. New York: Oxford University Press. The librarians fished the pieces out of the wastepaper basket and put it back together; it is currently held as a curiosity by the New York Public Library. Some people think that Columbus is in both places. In particular, the Latin edition omits the postscript and codicil pertaining to the Escribano , and adds a prologue and epilogue not present in the Spanish editions, which give some clues as to its assumed provenance. Historians have traditionally argued that Columbus remained convinced until his death that his journeys had been along the east coast of Asia as he originally intended, [] [] but writer Kirkpatrick Sale argues that a document in the Book of Privileges indicates Columbus knew he found a new continent.
