European Explorers

French & British Explorers 1400’s-1500’s Chapter 2

Disruption of European Trade Routes http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/medieval.html

What Were Europeans Seeking?

Disruption of trade routes with Asia drove up the price of silk & spices Europeans felt that in finding a new route they could secure a supply of goods & make lots of money

How Did Technology Help European Exploration?

Europeans needed to find a sea route to Asia since land routes were too dangerous to travel Sea travel also had many risks, it was slow, hard to steer, they could get lost, ship wrecked or have bad weather 1400’s ships were designed to be better & faster Navigational instruments also developed- compasses for direction and an ‘astrolabe’ to estimate location using sun & the stars http://www.puzzlering.net/astrolabe.html

Portuguese Found Route to Asia around the Cape of Good Hope http://www.matchc.com/maps/africa.html

Why Did Europeans Arrive in Canada?

Columbus (Italian) thought that he could sail west to find Asia Spain sponsored Columbus. He landed in the Caribbean which led to the exploration of Central & South America Spain's success in the west, other countries raced to explore the area north of the Caribbean Italians were the most experienced sailors in Europe Britain had Giovanni Caboto sail for them in 1497 ‘John Cabot’ claimed Newfoundland for Britain This led to fishing for cod off of what is now Eastern Canada

Trade With the Mi’kmaq

After Caboto ( late 1400’s), the Mi’kmaq came into regular contact with Europeans fishing off the east coast Trade between the two groups was advantageous for both Europeans & First Nations Europeans thought that furs along with cod could help them make money Mi’kmaq traded for metal goods because they were useful & durable

Tragedy of Beothuk

Beothuk, tribe of Newfoundland Did

not

establish friendly relations with Europeans Camps & settlements interfered with traditional fishing areas & conflict over equipment More British settlers arrived & pushed the Beothuk out In the early 1800’s British tried to become friendly with Beothuk 1823 Shawnadivit (Nancy) captured by British trappers William Cormack recorded Nancy's life she died of tuberculosis in 1829 The tribe was completely wiped out
