Explanation:
Eannes Sails Past Cape Bojador
Gil Eannes was the servant of the Portuguese Prince Henry, known as Henry the Navigator because he funded several Portuguese expeditions to the west coast of Africa. In 1434, Eannes became the first explorer to successfully cross Cape Bojador on Africa’s west coast. Before Eannes, Prince Henry had paid for several explorers to achieve what Eannes did, but none of them had survived the journey.
Bartolomeu Dias Sails around the Cape of Good Hope
After 1434, the Portuguese continued to venture farther down the west coast of Africa. These expeditions brought back slaves, as well as stories about Africa’s thriving gold trade. In 1488, Bartolomeu Dias was able to sail around the southernmost tip of Africa, known as the Cape of Good Hope. This achievement opened the way to the first European sea trade route to Asia.
Columbus Reaches Hispaniola
Christopher Columbus was not the first person to reach the Americas, but he helped start the age of exploration and colonization of the Americas. While looking for a route to India for Portugal, he found Hispaniola, the island containing the modern-day countries of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Because Columbus thought he had reached India, he called the people there Indians.
Cartier Establishes a French Claim
Jacques Cartier, a French navigator, was looking to discover a route across the Atlantic Ocean to Asia. He wanted to bring back gold and spices from Asia. Cartier landed on the shores of Canada at Newfoundland and claimed the area for France.
Pedro Álvares Cabral Lands in Brazil
In 1500, Pedro Álvares Cabral led an expedition of 13 ships to India. He was blown off course and landed in Brazil. Cabral claimed the land for Portugal and named it the Island of the True Cross.
