Was the Age of Exploration a time of discovery or invasion? Respond below.

I think it is both. Because while we were finding new land, we were also invading other peoples homes. But I do think we were doing more bad than good. I say this because we could have been discovering new land without killing or taking over other peoples lands. I think we could have avoided doing this by giving peace offerings or helping them with resources. That way we could have good allies and find more land without killing others and losing our own people.

Land that they have not explored yet. They were going to go expand their empire and claim it, but did not know people were on the land.

This is one of the main things Hernan wanted to get. So it probably motivated him the most.

People who were already on the New world. These were the people that Hernan Enslaved, killed, and took from.

If someone higher up like a king or queen believed in god and wanted to find new things about him, Hernan would probably make this a motive but I do not know if he liked or disliked god.

Were the English and French any different from the Spanish when they reached the New World? Mostly no. It was rare for English or French explorers to be friends and have a peaceful time on the land. Most of the time they would do the same as the Spanish (which would be to kill, steal, and enslave them). But like I said on some special occasions, the English or French would be peaceful to them.

A well known Ruler of the Aztecs that Hernan took down. He got the citizens to kill him.

Gold was also another main motive. Because he wanted to build a big empire, he would need land, gold, and probably glory. So he would make these his main priority's.

The capital of the Aztecs. Basically the main city of the Aztecs.

# data[].attributes.body
Like I said Gold, Land, and Glory are his main priority's. With Glory people would follow him. So this was something that motivated him.

Did Cortes embody the human spirit of exploration and acquisition of knowledge? Even though Cortes was good at exploration and conquering lands, he would do it in a bad way. He would kill millions and take from them. So I think when no one knew that he killed a lot of people, they probably looked up to him. But after people found out he killed innocent people, he was probably called a monster.

Spices can make food taste better and you can make money by selling it so this is something good.

Hernan knew trade routes would be helpful for his empire so this would also be good.

Were these motives and causes for exploration harmless? No. Native Americans and other people already living on the land were enslaved and killed by the explorers. Even when some of the Natives were harmless and did not want to cause trouble, they were still killed and enslaved because the explorers such as the English men or french people.
