The Britannica Guide To Explorers And Adventurers

The book likely delves into the pivotal era known as the Age of Exploration, a period from the late 15th century to the early 17th century, when European explorers embarked on unprecedented voyages that expanded global knowledge and led to direct contact between Europe and the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. It probably examines the motivations behind these explorations, including the search for new trade routes, the desire for wealth, and the spread of Christianity. The book may highlight key figures such as Christopher Columbus, who famously reached the Americas in 1492, and Ferdinand Magellan, whose expedition became known for the first circumnavigation of the Earth. It might also explore the technological advancements in navigation and shipbuilding that made these journeys possible, the impact of European colonization on indigenous populations, and the long-term consequences of the Age of Exploration on world history.
