The crew of the Mars mission soon finds that the disease which wiped out the Martians was in fact Chicken Pox, brought to the planet by the Earthling missions before them.

What was the development of slavery in the European colonies and conditions of the middle passage like?

# data[].attributes.body
Europeans used slavery to help make money by using slaves to manufacture goods and farm in their plantations. The Middle Passage was a long horrible journey that included a crowded lower deck in which slaves were chained together (and sometimes chained to those who died in the night). They were fed little, forced to exercise, and slept and lived in their own waste and the waste and vomit of those "living" alongside them.

Chart the triangular trade and list the items listed traded and the countries involved. 

# data[].attributes.body
The three main points of the triangular trade included America, Great Britain, and the West Indies. Europeans gave America things like onions, olives, turnips, coffee beans, peaches, pears, grains, livestock, and disease. Smallpox, measles, and other such sicknesses affected native Americans more because they were not immune to them like the Europeans were. In return for these things, colonies in the Americas gave Europeans pumpkins, turkeys, pheasants, potatoes, tomatoes, corn, vanilla, cacao, beans, pineapples, tobacco, and sugar and spices. Europeans also gave textiles and wool to Africa in return for slaves that would be shipped to their colonies in the Americas.

# data[].attributes.body
Europe had better plants and animals and more of them that were more suitable for use and domestication. They were already fairly resistant to many of the European-based diseases and illnesses that when brought to foreign civilizations. They were established long before many other civilizations, giving them time to perfect technology such as swords and guns.

The Aztecs should be remembered for the civilization they were before the Spanish arrived. Before the Spanish they had accomplished amazing architectural feats with only manpower and little complicated technology. They had vast and impressive communication systems as well as stunningly precise calenders and predictions pertaining to such. Aztecs also had amazing art, everything from paintings to statues. They should be remembered for these accomplishments.

What was the state of the world prior to the Age of Exploration?

# data[].attributes.body
The world was a small place, people stayed in their countries and even more often within their villages for the entirety of their lives. Very little trade went on and the trade that did happen was within a country or between countries that shared a border if they happened not to be battling each other.
