Glory
Gold
God
It started out with humanism and focusing on individualism. When people started to want to find their own gold and new land. Gold and power is what drove them to find the new world. Another reason people went to the new world was to spread their religion with other people.

The Treaty of Tordesillas is a treaty that split the new world into different parts. It split by resources, land, and people. It was split between the two main powers in the world. Spain and Portugal. One of the ways they split the new world is by drawing a line across the atlantic ocean and saying half of it was Portugal and the other half was Spain's.

The Columbia Exchange is and exchange between the new and old world. They exchanged plants, food, animals, and ideas. They also increased their knowledge in warfare. The path it took was divided into two parts. The path from Spain and Portugal took colonists, animals, diseases. The path from the new world to Spain/Portugal brought food and slaves. Some of the causes were power, gold, and God. These are only a few of the things that drove explorers to the new world. The effects were lots of death and diseases were brought to the new world killing many native americans.

Mecantilism

Mercantilism means believing in the benefits of trading. At the time mercantilism was the only method of trade. The sole purpose was to gain wealth. Joint Stock Company means all participants must give a sum of money so they could each own a part of this land. Mercantilism helped the new world become what it is today. It helped the trade flow between countries and cities become a lot easier.

Transatlantic Slave Trade

-Cause: To expand slavery.
-People from Europe would bring young, and healthy slaves across the coast to Africa, on a boat, along with other goods that needed to be traded.
-The slave trade in America helped America to expand and grow a lot more.
-Africa is one of the main places where the slave trade took place. The slave trade also helped Africa expand and grow.

Positive Effects- A lot of new foods and animals were discovered. Gold was starting to become more common. And importantly, new trade routes were discovered.
Negative Effects- Many Native Americans were dying because of disease, and others were being sold off into slavery.

Did the Age of Exploration have a positive or negative impact?

I think that there was a more positive effect that came out of the Exploration because trade routes were helping countries expand. Because of this, it brought Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas together.
The age of exploration had more positive than negative things. More countries were found and able to be used, new food and resources were found, and new religions were found. With all of these great things that happen to America it definitely had a more positive impact.

Explorers from the Age of Exploration.

Christopher Columbus- His goal was to find a direct water route from Europe to Asia, to make trading easier. He went across the Atlantic Ocean four times trying to accomplish this. Instead of succeeding in this, he "accidentally" came upon the Americas.
