Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The attached Google Forms correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
Voyages of Discovery
Merchants had traded with Asia since ancient times. During the Crusades, Europeans brought back silks and jewels from Asia. For a time, the Black Death and the Mongol invasions had interrupted this trade. By the 1500s, traders were eager to return to Asia. At the same time, strong European states were emerging. Rulers of centralized states such as Spain, Portugal, England, and France saw world trade as the key to increasing their own power and prosperity.
