Wait a second….Before we get started with this chapter we have to get something straight.
Who were the first people to discover America?
![Page 3: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
CORRECT!The paleo-Indians discovered America (unknowingly) when they crossed over the Bering Land Bridge during the last ice age.

Ok, so if a nomadic tribe
discovered America
somewhere between
38,000 and 10,000 BC,
who was next to step foot
on this continent?
THIS CONTINENT

CORRECT!
It was the……

VIKINGS!!
![Page 9: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Vikings were skilled sailors, and they were the first Europeans to reach North America.
![Page 10: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Vikings came from
Scandinavia.
![Page 12: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
They raided countries
throughout Europe and developed
large trading networks.
![Page 13: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In 1000 Leif Eriksson sailed from Norway to the North American coast after having been blown off course by a storm.
![Page 14: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
They explored present-day Canada, Newfoundland and maybe even as far
south as New England!
![Page 15: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
They created a North American settlement, but attacks by Native Americans and the area’s isolation prompted the Vikings to return to Europe

Meanwhile, back in Europe……

Motivations for Exploration
• To find sea routes to develop additional trade routes with Asia
• To spread Christianity and learn more about Asia and its culture.
![Page 19: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Technological Advances
• Better instruments made it possible for sailors to travel the open seas.
• The astrolabe enabled navigators to use the stars to chart location.
• The Portuguese began designing ships that were smaller, lighter, and easier to steer.
• Caravels used triangular sails that allowed ships to sail against the wind.

Eventually, these Portuguese learn so much at Prince Henry’s school that they:
Sailed around Africa and found a sea route to Asia.
![Page 23: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In 1488 Bartolomeu Dias led an exploration from
Portugal southward along African coast, discovering the southern tip of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope.
![Page 24: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

In 1497 Vasco da Gama sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and landed in India, winning the European race for a sea route to Asia.

Results of Exploration
• As Portuguese sailors explored the west coast of Africa, they negotiated for gold, ivory, and slaves.
• Slaves were sent to Europe and to islands in the Atlantic where they endured brutal living conditions.

![Page 32: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and reached a continent that was previously unknown to him.
• Christopher Columbus, a sailor from Genoa, Italy, heard stories of great wealth in Asia.
• He persuaded King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain to pay for an expedition across the Atlantic.
• On August 3, 1492, Columbus set sail across the Atlantic with three ships.
• On October 12, 1492, he reached the Americas.

Columbus in the Americas
Columbus and his crew landed in the Bahamas, on an island he named San Salvador.
![Page 35: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
He called the native people Indians because he thought he was in the Indies.
They were the tribe known as the Tiano.
Columbus was interested in gold, not the culture of the native people.
![Page 36: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
He made three more voyages to the Americas.The impact of Columbus’s voyages on the world was not realized until years after his death.
![Page 37: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Impact of Columbus–Changed view of the world
• Interaction with Native Americans–Conflict between Spain and Portugal over land
claims• Pope ordered Line of Demarcation divided the
Atlantic Ocean Spain claimed all the land west of the line–Treaty of Tordesillas – moved line 800 miles
further west
![Page 39: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Up to this time the two major powers exploring the world were Spain and Portugal.
• These nations worried that their new territories would be taken by each other, or by others.
• In order to protect their new empires, these nations looked to the Pope for help.
• In 1493, the Pope drew a line on the globe cutting the new world in half. This line was known as the line of demarcation.
• Any territory discovered on the east side of the line was to be controlled by Portugal, while any lands found on the west side of the line were to be ruled over by Spain.
So…why did the Pope create the Line of Demarcation?

The Columbian Exchange
•Explorers brought plants, animals, and diseases to the “New World” of the Americas and brought back plants and animals to the “Old World”—Europe, Asia, and Africa.•The Columbian Exchange is the name given to this transfer of plants, animals, and diseases between Europe and the Americas.
![Page 47: Europeans Claim America!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163ff550346895dd59d84/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
•Explorers brought horses, cattle, pigs, and grains such as barley and wheat to the Americas.

•Europeans took back such American plants as corn, tomatoes, tobacco, and cocoa.
