    Dbq on Exploration

    Technology in Europe advanced the causes of exploration, while the desire for goods in Asia and Africa gave Europeans the determination to explore. A special type of ship called a Caravel was used in many European explorations. They were small, sturdy, and used triangular sails which allowed them to sail against the wind. Rudders at the back of the ship improved the ship’s steering. With an improved ship design, sailors were able to sail longer distances with ease. Astrolabes also improved explorations. As stated in document 2, “The Mariner’s Astrolabe was used to determine the latitude of a ship at sea by measuring the noon altitude of the Sun or the meridian altitude of a star of known declination.” Astrolabes improved explorations by charting the position of the stars, so sailors could measure how much longer they needed to travel by sea. Caravels and Astrolabes allowed sailors to travel to Asia and Africa. Europeans wanted Asian spices and they were interested in Asian culture. When Europeans sailed to Africa, they negotiated for gold, ivory, and slaves. European explorers could not have used these goods for trade without finding new trade routes.…

    Colonizers and Explorers: Christopher Columbus

    I believe that in his quote, McCullough covered almost everything that history is: He said that it is all about interpretation. He told us that we are the ones that have influence on the future, because we created the past. He also basically said that we study history so that the knowledge gained by previous generations is preserved, along with their culture. We can also improve upon what we have learned from our studies and become better citizens. For example, by closely examining past events, and flaws in past civilizations and societies, we can use the knowledge we gain to discern similar problems in today’s society, and fix them. In addition to this, by preserving the culture of past generations we are ensuring that we pass on only the most valuable and relevant traditions, while sorting out the unnecessary or irrelevant ones.…
