The left map is the first map made of the New World and it was made by Juan De La Cosa. The second map was one of the firsts maps ever created in 150 AD by the Greeks. They are both similar by pioneering the path in more accurate maps, and being able to navigate easier.

The left portrait is of Juan and the right is of Christopher Columbus. They both worked together on multiple voyages.  Portraits were very common back in the Age of Exploration, because there were no cameras, and great explorers and important people like Kings and Queens would all get portraits of themselves.

GOLD- When Juan first started his voyage to India with Christopher Columbus, he didn't expect to find a new undiscovered world, but he was looking for wealth in India.

India was a big target for many countries because it wasn't as developed as European countries, therefore couldn't defend itself, and it was rich with ores, gems, and other goods. Christopher Columbus and Juan were looking for an easier way to get to India without having to go all around Africa. This is similar with the Age of Imperialism. Great Britain wanted to find an easier passage to Asia, because at the time Asia’s economy was booming because of the riches it had.

GLORY- Juan De La Cosa travelled with Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci to the now named Americas.

This can be compared with moon landings. Juan De La Cosa went multiple times to the Americas to discover new things he hadn’t seen the first time, or to visit different regions . This connects with NASA and other space agencies around the world. They have sent people to the moon, which was a never before explored place, multiple times. They sent multiple trips because they wanted to learn about the new place, see if it was safe, and see if it was habitable. All first time explorations have resulted in instant fame that lasts generations. For example hundreds of years later everyone knows of Christopher Columbus, and hundred of years from now, the world will remember both Christopher and Neil Armstrong as brave explorers.

He helped in the discovery of the Americas.

Juan de la Cosa was the captain of one of the three ships on Christopher Columbus’s voyage. On the voyage Juan’s ship sunk and Christopher Columbus was mad at Juan. Once they discovered the New World, they changed the world. All maps were redone, trade routes were changed, and new foods, products, animals, and people were discovered. This created the Colombian Exchange and revolutionized the world. Christopher is the one everyone remembers that discovered the Americas. I never knew about Juan until this project, and from what I’ve read he’s been a big contributor to Christopher. This is similar with Neil Armstrong and his crew. Everyone remembers Neil, but no one really remembers Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.

De La Cosa led an expedition to conquer and settle in present day Columbia.

During the expedition he was killed by a poisoned arrow.This affected the explorers that knew him, because he was a great explorer who paved the way for future voyages. Also he helped the push to colonize the New World. Similar to the Cortes when he fought against the Aztec empire in order to conquer them, and in result destroyed their culture and people.

The colonization of the New World was the beginning of a new era. But with the new colonies along the East coast, there came problems. Settlers would take Native Americans land, leaving Native Americans with almost nothing. This made them furious and caused a few small battles between tribes and the settlers. This is similar with the colonization of Africa in the 1900s. Many European countries began to colonize African countries because of the great amounts of gold, riches, and oil. With the introduction of guns to Africa, this made it much more dangerous.

The colonization of the New World was also dangerous. There were unexplored lands, and unknown things/ animals. Some people didn’t stay because they didn’t believe it was habitual. Not saying that the now U.S. is uninhabited, but at the time we didn’t know as much as we do now.This is similar with the explorers that ventured to the Arctics. They explored the Arctic in the 1920s and 1930s and didn’t stay. The weather and icy terrain there just made it uninhabitable.

Finally an effect of colonization is exploitation of that new place resources. For example once the Europeans colonized the East coast, they began to ship things over to the Europe, such as new foods the settlers discovered, and jewels and gems they found. This is similar with the Gold Rush of 1949 in California. Once people began to move to California, they realised that

Left Behind- Juan De La Cosa sailed to America and helped in the discovery of the Americas, and when he discovered it, he introduced horses, pigs, cows, and plants such as sugar cane. This changes the way Native Americans traveled and farmed. They now have horses to ride on and pigs and cows to eat. Today,  you’ll see cows, horses, and pigs on every farm in the country, used for food, milk, and transportation.

Took- Columbus took ideas from the Native American cultures, like how to farm more efficiently. Native Americans lived mostly on plants because they thought that it was bad to harm animals, so the result of this was really efficient farming. Columbus also took aninterest in their foods, and brought back many samples, and dishes to Europe. This connects to today because now whenever people travel around the world, they will always have a wide selection of foods from different cultures and countries.
