Material type:
TextSeries: Just the Fact Learning SeriesPublisher: San Francisco, CA : Cerebellum Corp., c2003Description: 1 videodisc (30 mins.)ISBN: 1594432791Subject(s): Voyages and travel | Discoveries and explorationSummary: The earliest voyagers to neighboring lands included the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Vikings, and the Chinese, but a true explosion of worldwide exploration began in the mid-15th century when Spain and Portugal sent mariners to unknown lands. This fascinating program examines the important figures of this period, their motivations for exploring new lands, and their tragedies and successes. These pioneers include Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal, who sponsored many voyagers to Africa; Bartolomeu Dias, who discovered the southern cape of Africa; Christopher Columbus, who made four voyages to the Amercias; Pedro Cabral, who claimed Brazil for Portugal; John Cabot, who set out to duplicate the journey of Columbus; Amerigo Vespucci, from whom America derives its name; Vasco da Gama, who opened a trade route to India; and Ferdinand Magellan, whose three-year journey took his ship and crew around the world, although he died without seeing the end of the journey. These voyages, which established trade routes that brought new wealth to Europe, also contributed to the beginning of the African slave trade. The mariners of the Age of Discovery who charted the globe opened the door for hundreds of explorers who followed, leading to European colonization of the Americas and other lands. Scholars from University of California, Los Angeles, and California Lutheran University share their insights.
