In what way was the capture of Constantinople by the Turks a factor in the geographical discoveries in the fifteenth and sixteenth century?
-it leads to one of the largest and most famous discoveries, that the world is round. Since they are in that situation, Spain and Portugal look for another route and later discover that the world is round and not a flat surface.
Explain why and how the Spaniards and Portuguese came to the east.
-the Europeans admired the wonders of the east because of what they hear in the stories. They have the desire to know more about the east. Also, some Europeans trade with Asia, they were easily sold in European markets at big profits. This leads to the desire of the Europeans to trade with the countries in the east.
Why did Pope Alexander VI divide the world between Spain and Portugal? Were the terms of this division fair or justified for each one? Why or Why not?
-it is to avoid the possible war between two nations. At first the division of the world is fair enough for the both of them, no one protested. But in the later months, the Pope nullified the provision, leading to the protestation of the Portugal. Because it is not fair for them that the Spaniards can own lands in their side while they cannot. So they agreed on the treaty of tordesillas. The conditions in the treaty are fair enough for them because they had given equal rights.
Describe the route taken by Magellan by the time he left San Lucar de Barameda to the sighting of the coast of Samar. Use a map or globe.
-since they are prohibited to sail to the east, they sailed to west to reach east, believing that the world is round. He bravely passed through the Pacific Ocean, and then later reached the island of Landrones. Magellan continues until he reached the coast of Samar.
Would you call the sighting of the archipelago by Magellan a discovery? Explain your answer.
-yes, because he discovered the land that is not found by someone
