The Discovery Of The World

would be otherwise unavailable to us, and much can be learned about how they were constructed by past cultures to fit their needs. The Skuldelev ships are a group of five Viking ships that were excavated in the Roskilde Fjord from 1957 to1962. The discovery of the remains gives us a look at what had once been complex sailing ships, serving different working purposes, and representing a variety of social goals.

Since the arrival of Columbus to the New World in 1492, it began a new era for the Spanish Empire. During this time Spain successfully conducted the Reconquista back home and were power hungry for more land to conquer to keep the momentum going. The early explorations would lead to bigger conquest and fortunes for the Spaniards. After the reunification of Spain with Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, they financed the expedition for the Genoese explorer, Christopher Columbus, for trading routes

America, the third largest country in the world, is a place that most people desire to live in. It is filled with fifty states and each with plentiful opportunities spread amongst it. America is considered the "land of opportunity" because it gives opportunities to immigrants that their country cannot provide them with such as: economic stability and educational resources. America is also known today as the melting pot because so many cultures have mixed together in one country to enjoy the same

The discovery of the New World brought many irreversible changes not only for the European countries, but to the natives of the land that was being discovered. The sense of exploration began expanding more and more among the European powers. Every time the explorers invaded, they would be more avaricious and aggressive against the natives of the land. Along with diseases and inhumane treatments, the European powers also brought education to the “uneducated” crowds of areas such as India, Africa,

ship design that lead to the discovery of the New World and enabled the subsequent expansion in global trade? In this paper I will examine the changes and improvements in European ship design that allowed for the first transatlantic voyage to the New World. Though the Europeans were not the first to develop the concept of the ship, they were the first to take this concept and use it to cross the Atlantic. Even before Columbus sailed across the Atlantic to the New World, Europe had a long maritime

we really thank Columbus? He was not the first European to discover America, but he was the first to set voyage and sail across the fearful Atlantic to land in the New World. Soon the Spanish, Portuguese, British, Dutch and other European nations grew curious of this land on the other side of the world. The discovery of the New World was responsible for the transport of foods, domesticated plants, animals, diseases and most importantly human beings. The Atlantic Slave Trade became a thriving business

In all of history, there have been few situations that could affect a majority of the world at once. Through a series of events, one of these situations may be the discovery of the New World. This so-called discovery of the Americas had enriching effects for Europe, and catastrophic results for Indigenous Americans. While those from the Old World acquired wealth and curiosity, those in the New World were being conquered and forced into submission while dying of disease and losing crops. Those who

of America, recent World crops a bit like wheat, barley, rice, and turnips had not traveled west across the Atlantic, and New World crops a bit like maize, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and manioc had not traveled east to Europe. among land, there aren 't any horses, cattle, sheep, or goats, all animals of recent World origin. apart from the placental, alpaca, dog, a few fowl, and guinea pig, the New World had no equivalents to the domesticated animals about the recent World, nor did it have the

Franco woke up one special morning and jumped out of bed like a bullet fired from a gun. His head was whirring, heart pounding out of his feathery chest, and nerves on edge. Today was the day. He stepped out onto the porch of his igloo and took a deep breath as he stared off at the view around him. Even with everything happening, the arctic mountains never ceased to amaze. With the vast blanket of snow covering them and falling from the morning sky, and the brisk air that penetrated the sunrise,

The Discovery of Penicillin The discovery of penicillin was a huge milestone for the medical world and start of the antibiotic age. Penicillin was discovered by physician Alexander Fleming in 1928 and since then has been purified and used to treat many infectious diseases, saving millions of lives (Jacobs). Though the purification took a very long time, penicillin proved to be very helpful in treating common, but lethal infections (U.S. Library of Medicine). Since penicillin was discovered just
