1450- 1750 CE: The “Early Modern” Period
• The two hemispheres are joined in sustained contact AND
British
Hegemony?
so world trade networks flourish- fewer people remain
outside of its influence- process of real GLOBALIZATION begins
• Balance of power in the world shifts in favor of Western Europe
• Land based empires retain control and power through
use of gunpowder (Ottomans, Safavids, Mughals)
• Labor systems transformed: slavery becomes central to world
economy and expands to New World/ social systems established
in Americas based on race
• Previously held belief systems are challenged (Reformation) while in some
places reaffirmation of traditional beliefs=stability
• Population compositions change world wide (plague, contact with Americas,
reconfiguration of family, role of women)

Psychological and physical obstacles impeded
early exploration
Thought there was a vast southern land mass that would
block travel to the East around Africa
Thought the earth was 7/8 land, underestimated size of earth

Connections
Mixed Motives:
New technologies used in navigation:
Chinese and European Exploration: 1405-1498
• motives = profit (sugarcane, slavery, gold) trade, missionary activity, show of power
• Portuguese excel: Prince Henry the Navigator (Gibraltor 1415)
• wanted to avoid Muslim “middlemen” in trade with the East
• (collapse of the Byzantine Empire in 1453 affected the trade routes… )
• 1488: Bartolomeu Dias sailed around Cape of Good Hope
• 1497-1499 Vasco de Gama : sailed to India and back
• 1492: Columbus: sailed to the “Indies” (a.k.a San Salvador)
Why did England get involved
In exploration so late?
“good voyage” = scurvy
claimed the lives of only
20% of the crew
Da Gama lost 126/170 men
