Three Worlds Meet, 1400 to 1682

It was not until 1492 that the worlds of Europe, Africa and the United States began to meet. People who lived in the United States at that time were called Indians.

For centuries, Europeans were looking for expensive luxury goods from South Asia and East Asia. They call these distant Asian regions the Indian archipelago.

Immediately after Columbus returned, other Europeans realized he had not arrived in India. They began to regard the Americas as a "new world".

Spain, the United Kingdom, France all claim to own land in North America. However, Spain is the first person to build a village here.

Since 1492, the worlds of Europe, Africa, and the United States gathered. The first Caucasian in America came from Western Europe. The first black man was a slave to West Africa.

Europeans believed that the world was flat until the 1400s and 1500s explorers and navigators began to be convinced that this was not the case. This caused the need for exploration. In Europe, the establishment of a new land is a money competition. Regardless of which country has the most colonies and many exports, it may occupy the main position of the world. The three main motives for exploration are gold, glory, and god. Gold will make money for the country's trade and money. Money has caused many adventures. In 1513, Juan Ponce De Leon went to Florida to find gold. Hernan Cortes also traveled North America in 1519, conquered locals and found gold. For example, Jamestown, Virginia was founded to look for money. The discovery of Western channels will also bring money. Money is comparable to the power of these people, which leads to the next important driving force, glory.

Historians use the standard shorthand story "Gold, God, and Glory" to explain the motivation for exploration, expansion and conquest of abroad. "Gold" refers to the quest for important interests by acquiring and selling Asian spices, African slaves, American metals and other resources. When merchants influenced Western Europe in the late Middle Ages, they persuaded their government to establish a direct relationship with favorable Asian trade, leading to the first discovery of a European trip in the 15th century Europe Did. "God" refers to the tradition of radical crusade and Christian missionary, which is characterized in part by competition with Islam and hatred against non-Christian religion. "Glory" means competition during the monarchy. Moving to these three goals, some Western European people gained control or influence over the expansion of the Earth during the modern times.
