Age of Exploration Why ppt
The Age of Exploration lasted from 1450 to 1750 and was driven by Europeans' desire to find new trade routes to Asia. Before this period, Europeans only knew parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. They traded luxury goods like spices along the Silk Road, but its closure in 1453 cut off this route. Europeans then sought new maritime routes to Asia and its riches. Technological developments during the Renaissance, such as the caravel ship, lateen sails, astrolabe, compass, and cannons enabled Europeans to explore westward across the Atlantic.

Marco Polo (1254-1324) was a Venetian merchant and explorer who travelled along the Silk Road to Asia between 1271-1295 and served in the court of Kublai Khan. His written account of his travels, The Travels of Marco Polo, introduced Europeans to the culture and inner workings of China, Persia, India and Japan. Born in Venice, Marco learned trade from his father and uncle and embarked on an epic journey across Asia with them, reaching the court of Kublai Khan who was impressed with Marco.
Bryan Kim Report
Marco Polo was born in Venice, Italy in 1254 and was raised by his aunt and uncle as his mother died after childbirth. He journeyed with his father and uncle to China to trade goods, getting sick along the way during their exploration through war zones. They passed through many lands including China, Persia, and America before Marco Polo died in 1324, leaving his stories of exploration remembered through books.
