The Great Race
Exploration and Colonization of the World by Europe
Credits: ClipArt, ABC-Clio, Grolier Online, Britannica Online
Example: England sent people to the
American “colonies”. They still thought of themselves as
English, not American.
England was in charge and made
the rules.
Colonization is when a group of people leave their home
country and go to a new land to form a community that is still
connected to the parent nation.
Exploration is the investigation of unknown
regions.
People explore for many different reasons.1.Find wealth (Economic)
2.Find people to convert to their religion (Religious)3.To claim land for their home country (Political)
4.To become famous (Social)

The Big PictureThe exploration of the
Americas after 1492 was a breathtaking
period.
But what pushed Europeans to
Explore?(Why did your family move to
Katy?)
Renaissance• Period of time after the
“Dark Ages” or “Middle Ages”. (The time in Europe which was marked by frequent warfare. People were surviving, not creating art or literature.)
• People of the Renaissance were not satisfied with the
status quo.
Time when people began wanting to
find and experience new foods, places
& people

by MICHELANGELO
Social-(We’ll go into this more
later)
• Smaller areas merged with other areas to form countries. Larger countries had more power than smaller ones. Spain, France, England, Portugal, Netherlands, etc….• Kings and Queens needed $ to run
their countries.
Countries used exploration,
colonization and trade to raise money.
Rise of Nation States
Economic
• Kings controlled their people by making it illegal for them to have Bible’s that they could read. The church leadership got a lot of power from the Kings by telling the people they wouldn’t get into Heaven if they didn’t do everything they were told.
• In the 1500’s, a man named Guttenberg created a printing press that made it possible to print Bibles people could afford. Suddenly, people could read for themselves what God said about getting into Heaven and it didn’t match what they’d been told by their church leaders and the Kings. Many began to break from the Roman Catholic church so they could follow what they believed God was telling them.
Protestant Reformation
People began to decide for themselves how to worship God & they wanted to share God with
others.
• The Kings and the church leaders REALLY didn’t like losing their power over the people so they began to persecute those who were reading and teaching what the Bible said.
• They:1. Arrested them2. Broke into their homes and took all their stuff3. Refused to allow them to work4. Branded them on their foreheads and slit their noses5. AND killed them by burning them alive or shooting them!
Martin Luther
Pilgrims
Thousands were killed in France, Germany, Spain and England by Kings determined to make people
stop reading the Bible! But people kept meeting in secret and sharing
what they were learning.
Religious
• Before this, books were copied word for word by hand. Took months or years to print 1 book!
Printing Press could print
books faster/cheaper.
People read about exciting places-wanted to see
them
The first book printed was the Bible!
• Middle class could afford books. Poor people still could not read or write.

Example of Celtic Handwritten Bible
Now go back to your Triangle
and fill in the 3 Main Reasons Europeans set out to Explore
(Also called the 3 G’s)
Wars to take back the Holy Lands from the Muslim Turks. Exposed Europeans to spices and silks. People in Europe wanted more of
these items. England, France and Spain began competing with each other trying to be the first
to find a new way to Asia
Crusades
So, where did they go first and what sent them
there?
Why were England, France, and Spain competing with each other?
• Italians controlled the trade route to the Indies.
• Silk Road-Overland route used to get to Asia from Europe. Italians controlled this route. Europeans had to pay very high prices to travel this path so they could get the products from the east.
•England, France and Spain each wanted to be
the country to find a quicker way to Asia. That
way they could control the spice trade.
Italians had a
Monopoly=No other
competitors
