Exploration RacePORTUGAL VS. SPAIN

• Henry gathered cartographers, scientists, and other experts.

• They redesigned ships, trained sea captains, and prepared more accurate maps.

• Henry inspired explorers and sponsored voyages.

Portugal led the way in exploration. Under Prince Henry “The Navigator,” Portuguese expeditions sailed eastward along the coast of Africa.

Vasco de Gama later helped Portugal builda vast trading network around the Indian Ocean.

1497 – Vasco de Gama sailed around Africa and after 10 months reached India.

1488 – Bartholomeu Dias rounded the southern tip of Africa.

Henry died in 1460, but Portuguese navigators continued his quest.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed westward across the Atlantic with three ships.

Columbus explored the islands of the Caribbean, which he believed to be the East Indies. Underestimated the size of the earth.

The pope set a Line of Demarcation dividing all non-European land between Portugal and Spain.

Land to the west of the line went to Spain.

Land to the east of the line went to Portugal.

In 1493, Ferdinand and Isabella (SPAIN) appealed to the pope to support their claim to all land in what Europeans referred to as the “New World.”

By the 1400s, Europe’s demand for trade goods, especially valuable spices, was growing. The chief source of spices was the Moluccas, an island chain in present-day Indonesia. Arab and Italian merchants controlled most trade between Asia and Europe. Europeans outside Italy wanted their own access to Asia’s trade goods.

Prince Henry encouraged Portuguese sea exploration. He believed that Africa was the source of the riches the Muslim traders controlled. He also hoped to reach Asia by going along the African coast. Cartographers prepared maps for the voy- ages. In 1497, Vasco da Gama led four Portuguese ships around the southern tip of Africa. Evenually, they reached the great spice port of Calicut on the west coast of India. Soon, the Portuguese seized ports around the Indian Ocean and created a vast trading empire.

Now others looked for a sea route to Asia. The Italian navi- gator Christopher Columbus persuaded Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain to pay for his voyage. In 1492, Columbus sailed west with three small ships. When the crew finally spotted land, they thought they had reached the Indies, or Southeast Asia. What Columbus had actually found were previously unknown lands.

The Spanish rulers asked Spanish-born Pope Alexander VI to support their authority, or power, to claim the lands of this “new world.” The pope set the Line of Demarcation. This gave Spain rights to lands west of the line; Portugal had rights to lands east of the line. Both countries agreed to these terms in the Treaty of Tordesillas.

Europeans still had not found a quick sea route to Asia, however. In 1519, a Portuguese nobleman named Ferdinand Magellan sailed west from Spain to find a way to the Pacific Ocean. In 1520, he found a passageway at the southern tip of South America. Magellan was killed along the way, but the survivors of this voyage were the first to circumnavigate, or sail around, the world.
