and technologies that became popular and helped Europe grow and expand. Some examples of new technology that emerged during the 15th and 16 century are: the movable printing press created by Johann Gutenberg. Another example is that during this time the Europeans began to make and improve their maps. They also created the compass and made improvements to their boats which made for safer and faster travels. If it were not for this new technology Europe would not have been able to gain wealth and power
representing Exploration. Only one of the groups truly showed and supported the Renaissance worldviews. As a result, Reformation showed more of the Renaissance worldviews more than the Exploration group did. Reformation, the reforming of a religion for the better of it. The first document that showed Reformation was Document A. Document A showed the evolution of the printing press, and its effect on society. As a result of the printing press, shifts in who held the religious power were also made. The Pope's
1- The Hobo-Dyer map is a bit confusing; where the South and North are on opposite direction of the map I am used to. The compass used on the Hobo-Dyer map is different than the compass used in a normal map; the map is upside down. In terms of territories, the United States of America is located in North America between Canada and Mexico. China is located in Asia between Thailand, Mongolia, Nepal, and etc. According to my research, in terms of population, China has greater population than the United
was the Printing Press. (Background) The Printing Press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg in Germany during the year 1450. By 1500, more than 20 million books were printed. The Printing press made books cheaper and increased the literacy rate in Europe. More people started to take interest in other subjects such as science, geography and religion. The Printing Press also resulted in two consequences: The Protestant Reformation and the Age of Exploration. (Thesis) I believe that the Age of Exploration
Western Hemisphere and to convert and/or exploit the native population. French and Dutch colonial efforts involved relatively few Europeans and used trade alliances and intermarriage with American Indians to acquire furs and other products for export to Europe. Unlike their European competitors, the English eventually sought to establish colonies based on agriculture, sending relatively large numbers of men and women to acquire land and populate their settlements, while having relatively hostile relationships

The last is bomb where one team tries to defuse a bomb and the other tries to stop them. There are 14 different maps such as plane, Bank, House, etc. They have new content coming out every three months and major updates every month and a half. The community is very active.

During the 1400 to 1500s, Europe had new developments due to numerous reasons. First of all, there was a revival of classics from the Greco-Roman era. These texts were pre-Christianity, thus talking about human’s lives in the here and now verses talking about their lives in the afterlife. This eventually led to the development of humanism, where people appreciated their lives. The more texts, the better they felt and the more they wanted to learn. People wanted to become educated in various subjects
The Age of Exploration did not contribute to a more civilized world. In fact, from some perspectives, it made certain populations even more uncivilized. Geography was the main determinant of African slavery; it led to the Europeans discovering the Americas, and then travelling to Africa in search to find a source for cheap labor. The idea of slavery was considered uncivilized, or savage to the Europeans, so they forced Africans to go through a process of dehumanization in order to make their actions
Chapter Two: “Maps, Money, and Monopolies” In “Maps, Money, and Monopolies,” author Joseph P. Farrell argues that Columbus’ believed intentions of finding a new route to the spice islands is not only a false narrative, but a cover story. He argues what truly motivated Columbus and the Spanish was wealth in the west not discovery in the east. Farrell focuses on two main areas to support his claim: The hidden history of maps prior to New World “discovery”, and Columbus’ access to information regarding
and cheering. By sending troops into battle without a proper reason, not only were many lives in danger, but other countries jumped into war as well. A map and table compiled from different sources including Colin Nicolson’s The First World War, also demonstrates how militarism could have led to hard feelings, and then to war, (Doc. 11). On the map, almost every nation owned vast amounts of land, but Great Britain topped them all. Thus, feeling inadequate, the other European Nations all attempted
