What is the Northwest Passage? Why did Europe spend time looking for it?
ReplyDeleteThe Northwest Passage was a water route through North America that could get ships from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The Europeans, like Columbus, still wanted to find a way to get to Asia. Going all the way around South America would have taken a long time. So, they started looking for a water route that would get them through North America. –Madison Nestripke
How did the invention of the printing press change the world?
ReplyDeleteThe printing press allowed Protestants to print alot of bibles, and short essay's explaining their ideas. This let more people read and think about the the bible on their own, rather than relying solely on the teachings of a priest. In the 1500's french catholics fought french protestants known as Huguenots. Many Huguenots eventually emigrated to the americas in search of religious freedom. -Ashlyn McMillen
How did the invention of the printing press change the world?
ReplyDeleteThe printing press was a huge accomplishment because back in the 1400's, most people didn't have the opportunity or the money to read books. When the printing press was invented, it made making books so much easier. After the invention all of the people were able to read the books instead of the few people that could afford it. -Kierra Cable (:
The Northwest Passage was a water route through North America. It would allow ships to sail from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The reason the Europeans wanted to find it was because they were looking for a passage to get to Asia. So they sent many explorers to find the Northwest Passage. -Colin Gordon
ReplyDeleteIn 1450 the printing press was invited. The printing press helped a lot of people in many ways. One of the ways was it helped spread ideas and information. The printing press printed out a lot of bibles and short stories telling about the bible. With the printing of the bibles it let more people read the bible and be able to think about it in their own way. Less people then needed to rely on a priest to teach them about it.

The Northwest Passage is a water route that went through North America that would let ships sail from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. The Europeans wanted to find a quicker way to get to Asia so they started looking for a water route through North America. It would be much faster but they never found it.

The invention of the printing press changed the world, because of the Protestant Reformation. When Martin Luther, thought the church was too wealthy and that God’s religion should be simple, he started the Protestant Reformation. Because of the printing press they were able to print and send Bibles and short essays around to people, so they could read and learn on their own, than just relying on the priest’s teachings. These conflicts often lead to Civil War between the Catholics and the Protestants.

The Europeans wanted a shortcut to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Many explorers sailed to find it, but were not sucessful.

The Northwest Passage is a water route that goes through North America that would allow ships to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Early explorers from Europe looking for a quicker way to get to Asia so that they could trade. None of the many explorers who tried to find it where not able to. Because I don't think it exists.

ReplyDeleteHow did the Spanish treat the Natives of the Americas? Why?
ReplyDeleteThe explorers really didn’t mind taking advantage of these people; it was after all their job to bring goods back to Spain. So they put the Natives to harsh and terrible working conditions. The lazy Spaniards had started sugar plantations and overworked the Natives in the sugar fields. The Natives didn’t even really get paid in any form! Also, the Spaniards also brought diseases the Natives weren’t immune to and killed off most of the Natives. Only 500 of the million Natives survived. In the end, Spain did not treat the Natives of the Americas fairly and killed most of them off.

The invention of the printing press in 1450 changed the world because of the protestant reformation. Martin Luther thought, and the church had alot of money he started the protestant reformation. The printing press helped because the church was able to eaily distribute bible and short story's to poeple so they could learn about the church on there own.
ReplyDeleteThe printing press also made it easier for people to read because they could print more things so it was cheaper for people to buy books and news papers.

What is the Northwest Passage? Why did Europe spend time looking for it?
ReplyDeleteThe Northwest Passage was a water route through North America. The Europeans spent so much time looking for it because it would give them a quicker way to get to Asia. It would allow them to go from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean quicker because going all the way around South America took a long time. They sent a lot of explorers to find it. Although, they never found it because one doesn't actually exist.

How did the Spanish treat the Natives of the Americas? Why?
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish treated the Natives with a great deal of animosity. In some circumstances, they were completely conquered either by Spain’s military or the diseases they brought over to the New World. The Aztec Empire was entirely destroyed by Hernán Cortéz. They seized the throne by taking Montezuma hostage in change for gold. They still killed him even though they made their deal. Explorers exploring the landscape would claim the land they found for New Spain, not even giving a second thought about the Native Tribes. It was a hard to defeat the Spanish with their new, very powerful weapons that were unknown among the Natives. Among their greatest attempts, the Spanish still claimed victory. The reason why the Spanish were so ruthless about their new land, though,is the treasures they had on the land. Gold was the most valued resource on the land and it made Spain very wealthy. Gold is still valued as it has for centuries. As other countries came to the Americas and found their treasures, they treated the Natives likewise to the Spaniards.
What is the North West Passage? And why did Europe spend time looking for it?
ReplyDeletePeople in Europe began looking for a North West passage because it would have been much faster way to Asia. The North West passage was supposed to lead from the Atlantic Ocean through North America to the Pacific. Many explores looked for this passage; however they couldn’t find it because it simply doesn’t exist. Although these expeditions weren’t successful, they lead to Europe’s greater interest in North America.

The Spanish treated the Natives horribly. Cortes saw the advanced buildings, and abundance of gold, and sought to take over the Aztecs. He used enemies of the Aztecs to gain allies. Cortes convinced the Aztec leader, Moctezuma, that he was a god, so he welcomed him. Only to have Cortes hold him for ransom, and end up killing him. The Spanish were greedy, malicious people who only cared about gold and land. Never taking into consideration the welfare of others.

The Northwest passage was a supposed way to get to Asia by going northwest, not southeast. Europe spent alot of time looking for this because, first off, the Southeast passage was a very hard route to travel. The waters where the oceans met were very trecherous. So the Europeans wanted to find a better way to get to Asia. Second off, Portugal controlled the Southeast passage, and the other nations in Europe wanted Asian goods without having to pay Portugal.

The Northwest Passage was a water route that would allow ships straight through North America, to get to the Pacific Ocean. Everybody was trying to find it because it would make a faster route to Asia. The Northwest Passage was never found because there is no route right through North America. They had to go over or under it.

How did the Spanish treat the Natives of the Americas? Why?
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish treated the Natives as though they were created to serve the Spanish. They saw Tenochtitlan and were impressed by the amount of gold and silver the Aztecs had. They instantly wanted it for themselves. Though they were outnumbered, the Spanish had guns and the advantage of the Aztecs thinking they were gods. Cortes took control of the city and killed Moctezuma. The natives were also dying from smallpox and other diseases the Spanish brought. Over in the land of the Incas, Pizarro heard of the gold and riches they had and set out to get it. Pizarro had only about 400 men while the Incas easily outnumbered them. Pizarro had the advantage of weapons and quickly captured the capital and killed the leaders of the Incas. More than three-quarters of the natives died from the diseases brought by the Spanish.

The Northwest Passage is mainly a water route that would go through the U.S.A. all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In 1524 the French sent captain Giovani da Verrazano to search for it, but like everyone else he did not succeed.

What is the Northwest Passage? Why did Europe spend time looking for it?
ReplyDeleteThe Northwest Passage was a passage through North America. The Europeans spent time looking for it because they wanted a faster way to get to the Pacific Ocean, and to Asia. Going through the land would have been a lot faster than going around it, but they never found a Northwest Passage. So eventually they stopped looking.
-Emily Nielson
The Europeans wanted to find the Northwest Passage. (The Northwest Passage is a water route through the North America that allows ships to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans) The Italian sailor John Cabot wanted to find the Northwest Passage, but he needed the permission from the king of England, the king agreed and John Cabot made voyages to North America for England in 1497 and 1498. He Traveled across the coast of present day and found the land of Canada. John Cobot didn’t find a passage to the Pacific Ocean. In the year 1524 France sent Captain Giovanni da Verrazano to see the North Passage. He traveled along the North America coast, Carolina to Maine. The Dutch also sailed to go discover the Northwest Passage. And nobody was able to find a Northwest Passage. -Katelyn Brancheau
ReplyDeleteQ: What is the northwest passage? Why did Europe spend time looking for it?
ReplyDeleteA: The northwest passage was a water route through North America that would allow ships to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The English sent explorers to look for it. They sent John Cabot, Giovanni Verrazano, Jacques Cartier, the Dutch, & Henry Hudson, but none of these explorers ever found it so I don't believe it exists.

The printing press was a machine that copied books faster and easier. Protestants used the printing press largely for printing off copies of the bible. Before the printing press the only way you could copy books was by hand, which took a very long time. This allowed people to study the bible on their own instead of having to listen to priests opinions on the bible. Only priests, or people who were wealthy could afford to read books, because there were so little. The printing press opened up great educational opportunities for not only wealthy people, but also for people with less.

How did the Spanish treat the Native Americans?
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish treated the Native Americans very poorly. There was a law called the "encomienda system" which made it possible for the settlers to tax the Natives in return for protection and Christianity. But the law was broken. Most people taxed and provided horrible working conditions, no protection, and were basicly treated like slaves. The Natives were forced to work in huge fields of crops and were also forced to mine and tend live stock. All this harsh labor and brutal living conditions killed many Native Americans. Overall, in just about every way, the Natives were not treated well.

How did the Spanish treat the Native Americans?
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish treated the Native Americans terribly. They came over to America and acted like they were the rulers over them. They put them to work in sugar plantations, in mines, and also look after the animals of the Spaniards. They brought terrible sicknesses and diseases along with them and effected the population in a decrease. The Spaniards definitely should have taken over in a better way.

ReplyDeleteThe printing press was a huge impact because the people were given the opportunity to have something that would give them more things to print out for their benefit. I think that it was the most greatest idea ever because if we hadn't had the printing press, we would have never had the Bible, or any other valuable resources to go to, in order for a person to have knowledge of the topic. My opinion is, that if we did not have the printing press, the world would not be the same without it, so, we have to be appreciative of it everyday, because that is how we gain the knowledge of books.

2- How did the Spanish treat the Natives of the Americas? Why?
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish used the Natives as slaves. Even though there were acts to keep the Spanish from treating Natives badly they weren’t always followed. Plantation owners needed workers and found that Natives made cheap work. The explorers Pizarro and Cortes both destroyed Native colonies. The main reason for the destruction was gold and riches.
-Caleb Robinson
