Name who is the most important explorer and tell me two reasons why.
2. Defend your choice of the most important technological improvement to facilitate world exploration and expansion.

It helped steer explorers in the right direction. They were able to go in the direction they wanted, and it was an accurate way to show what land they would in counter. Also, they could find their way home if they were lost, and using a map in the past wasn't as accurate. The compass, was needed a lot to be able to navigate. ]]> 2018-10-29 13:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297993955 https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994074 1.

It allowed navigators to know where they were in accordance to the North and South Poles. This meant that the sailors had a lesser chance of getting lost at sea. When paired with the portolan map, the compass also allowed to know routes to well-known ports.]]> 2018-10-29 13:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994251 tyreea306 https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994298 1)He was the first Italian explorer to circumnavigate the globe and find the Americas. Another reason I think he is the most important is because the way he changed the world after finding the Americas.

I think Christopher Columbus is the most important explorer. Columbus voyage inspired more explorers to explore. He started an interest in exploration. Also his exploration led to global trade. ]]> 2018-10-29 13:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994375 https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994381 The triangular trade route is where people trade slaves from Africa and go to America.

This cycle kept going on for a long time.

First of all, he was the explorer who discovered that America is a new world. Also, since he had a lot of maps made of the new world with his name on them, America was even named after him.]]> 2018-10-29 13:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994396 https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994439 3.

I believe that Magellan was the most important explorer. I believe this because he was the first explorer to circumnavigate the world. He showed us that it is possible to go all the way around the world. He also proved that the world is round. Those are just a couple of the many reasons why I believe that Magellan was the most important explorer. ]]> 2018-10-29 13:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994544 https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994612 when one country gets goods from another and pays for them by giving goods to another country who then gives goods to the first country crating a system of constant trading.]]> 2018-10-29 13:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994612 https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994718 I think Christopher Columbus is the most important explorer because he was the first european explorer to find the new world and he ]]> 2018-10-29 13:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994718 https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297994833 2.)

I think this because, the compass is a basic instrument of navigation everyone uses it to navigate. Without a compass you can't even use some of the other items used in navigation. These could be things like more current world maps and portolan maps.]]> 2018-10-29 13:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kotto1/worldstudies5/wish/297995639
