centuries, exploration in search of alternative routes became a key focus of Western European nations. The development of such vessels as the caravel and carrack allowed for the great expansion of this trade-driven exploration. The caravel, a small, lateen-rigged ship of 12-18 meters (Russel, 229) , was developed as a fishing boat in the early 13th century, in Portugal. Its maneuverability and speed made it possible for explorers, merchants, and fisherman alike, to go further, faster. The Caravel would
Daniel Crowson Mrs. Hann English 5th 12 February 2018 Caravels Caravels, once used for offshore fishing by the Europeans, changed the way people traveled overseas in the 15th century. The caravel is a three masted ocean vessel (“Caravel”). Columbus used two caravels, the Nina and the Pinta on his voyage to the New World (“Caravel”). It was also used by Portuguese sailors to sail along the West African Coast for the construction of new port cities (“Mele”). Due to these events, the caravel was
“The crew of the caravel Nina also saw signs of land, and a small branch covered with berries. Everyone breathed afresh and rejoiced at these signs.” (Christopher Columbus). Nina being Christopher’s best loved ship because of its secureness, strength, and powerful speed sailed him across the ocean. The invention of the caravel led to many new adventures and the discovery of the New World. The caravel is a sailing ship which was used around the 15th and 16th centuries with peculiar formation and honorable
The Mongol Empire was the largest land-based empire in world history during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries C.E. The Mongols protected prominent trade routes in Eurasia such as the Silk Road. This allowed for an increase in interregional trade and brought about the spread of new cultures, ideas, and technologies to Eastern Europe and other regions of the world. Due to this diffusion of technology, at the beginning of the fifteenth century a German inventor by the name of Johannes Gutenberg
caravels, and other necessities. A caravel is probably the most important material needed for a voyage. A caravel is a ship designed for long voyages. Caravels have both square sails, and triangular lateen sails. However, they each provided/allowed different things. Square sails provided power, when lateen sails allowed quick turns. The compass, a Chinese invention, allowed sailors to track their direction. On the other hand, an astrolabe, an ancient Greek invention, improvised by the Arabs, would measure
The role of naval knowledge and improved ship-building in European expansion From 1000 throughout 1500, the Old World Web went through period of consolidation, with limited expansion. McNeill and McNeil stated that ‘’The Old World Web was homogenizing force, but it was far from homogenous’’ (156). However, from the middle of 15th century, it is already possible to see advancements in science that were the basis of future European expansion. Also, due to enclosed trade routes between Asia and Europe
on others. Although the Europeans were not the first to invent concepts for all of the navel technologies they did advanced other concepts mainly from the Arabs. For example, the europeans further developed the Arabian triangular sails known as lateens for their ships. This advancement allowed the europeans to have better control of their ships which was crucial in being successful on long voyages. As a result of this creation they were also able to show that the Europeans were just as innovative
Lila Fraser AP World History Free Response Questions CCOT Analyze continuities and changes in commerce in the Indian Ocean region from 650 CE to 1750 CE Across the Indian Ocean, from 650- 1750 C.E., commerce had many changes and continuities. Trade along this route stayed the same with its spread of goods from one place to another, but changed because of the ways goods were traded along this trade route.

Trade in the Indian Ocean region facilitated the spread of goods, technology, and ideas; the span of Indian Ocean trade reached from Southeast Africa and across the Indian Ocean to Southeast Asia, including Southwest Asia, India, and China along the way. From 650 C.E. to 1750 C.E., commerce in the Indian Ocean region changed in terms of who was involved and the technology that was developed, but the items traded remained the same. A little after 650 C.E., the Sasanid Empire of Southwest
1. There were several factors that caused or encouraged European exploration and expansion. The first factor was the Europeans’ long-lasting interest in areas outside Europe. Some writers wrote of an imaginary Christian kingdom in Africa led by Prester John, while other wrote of lands that were rich in resources or were filled with hostile creatures. Muslims long had control of trade routes in Eurasia, but the Mongols reopened the trade routes to Europeans, allowing travelers such as Marco Polo to

The classical Indian empires invented the dhow ship, ships of moderate to with a lateen (triangular) sail, and utilized the monsoon winds in order to sail the Indian Ocean and interact with Southeast Asia and Indonesia.

During the classical era, there were shifts worldwide with regards to economic imports and exports. As many societies transformed from hunting-gathering societies into specialization societies, global trade networks expanded. This led to the founding and growth of many complex trade networks, both on land and by sea. Two notable trade networks were the Mediterranean Sea network and the Silk Road. The Mediterranean Sea is in Europe, and the trade network lined the shores of Turkey and North Africa

In the subcontinent of Afro-Eurasia, many changes took place in the means of trade. Its impact on the involved countries over the years helped develop the world into a more international trading network. Some of these changes were caused by trade through the Indian Ocean. Because of this trade, in the years 600 BCE to 1450 CE, the Indian Ocean impacted many aspects of the areas involved with it, such as a flourishing of new types of culture, such as the African culture being altered by Asians, Arabs

The force behind this impact was the mass movement of people and their behavior's toward their "New World". It only stands to reason that a clash would occur with the natives of these lands. One of the areas with the greatest conflict was the field of technology. Scientifically, when the cultures
