GOLD-  George Bass and his mate Flinders wanted to prove that Tasmania was an island. Just like Bass, Ferdinand Magellan wanted to prove something to the world. Unlike Bass who wanted to prove land, Magellan wanted to prove that the world was round.

GLORY- In 1789, George Bass was training to be a surgeon and was accepted into the Company of Surgeons. He later joined the Royal Navy, in which his proficiency was navigation and seamanship. Unlike Bass who was a surgeon, Magellan was just known as a sailor and a explorer.

2. Bass left Sydney in a whaleboat on his way to Western Port when he came across a part of 7 escaped convicts and promised to rescue them. He suspected there was a strait of water that separates the mainland and from Tasmania. He rescued the convicts on his way back and sailed back to Port Jackson, after exploring 300 miles of previously unknown coastline. Like Bass, Samuel de Champlain who was a French navigator and explorer, founded and discovered new land, in which his case it was New France and Quebec City.

3. Bass and Flinders discovered and explored the Tamar River. Unlike Bass who discovered the Tamar River, René Caillié was the first to return alive from the town of Timbuktu.

Bring back: Bass discovered the Kiama area and made many notes on its botanical complexity and the amazing natural phenomenon, the Kiama Blowhole, noting the volcanic geology around the Blowhole and contributed much to its understanding. Back then, people had to actually travel and discover information on their own, nowadays we use things like the Mars Rover which is an automatic motor vehicles that propels itself across the surface of the planet Mars upon arrival. They are used to examine territory, be directed to interesting features, and can advance the knowledge of what we had previously known.

2. When Europeans came over and colonized Africa, they introduced Christianity which brought about more religious mission opportunities. Everywhere in the American colonies, a large demand for labor existed to grow New World cash crops, especially sugar and tobacco. This need led Europeans to rely on Africans, and after 1600, the movement of Africans across the Atlantic accelerated. 

3.In the 1880s, Italian traders brought over the cattle disease, Rinderpest which devastated many countries in Africa during the early 1890s. Up to 90 percent of the cattle in parts of central and eastern Africa were killed by this disease. This devastation occurred at the same time that Europeans were colonizing Africa leaving them weak and unable to resist the early jobs by white settlers. Just like Africa where disease were spread, America had the same problem. When the Natives came over they brought with them,  bubonic plague, chickenpox, the common cold, diphtheria, influenza, scarlet fever, sexually transmitted diseases, typhoid, typhus, tuberculosis, and many more.
