The document discusses the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492. It summarizes the key events leading up to the voyage, including 15th century commercial expansion in Europe, the fall of Constantinople, and growing European interest in finding new trade routes. It then details Columbus' journey westward across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492, his initial landfall in the Bahamas, and his subsequent three return voyages. The document also describes how Spain went on to organize and govern its new American territories, including the mistreatment of indigenous populations and later debates over their rights and protection.
The era known as the Age of Exploration, sometimes called the Age of Discovery, officially began in the early 15th century and lasted through the 17th century. The period is characterized as a time when Europeans began exploring the world by sea in search of new trading routes, wealth, and knowledge.

Figure 2.1 After Christopher Columbus “discovered” the New World, he sent letters home to Spain describing the
wonders he beheld. These letters were quickly circulated throughout Europe and translated into Italian, German, and
Latin. This woodcut is from the first Italian verse translation of the letter Columbus sent to the Spanish court after his
first voyage, Lettera delle isole novamente trovata by Giuliano Dati.
Chapter Outline
2.1 Portuguese Exploration and Spanish Conquest
2.2 Religious Upheavals in the Developing Atlantic World
2.3 Challenges to Spain’s Supremacy
2.4 New Worlds in the Americas: Labor, Commerce, and the Columbian Exchange
Introduction
The story of the Atlantic World is the story of global migration, a migration driven in large part by the
actions and aspirations of the ruling heads of Europe. Columbus is hardly visible in this illustration of his
ships making landfall on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (Figure 2.1). Instead, Ferdinand II of Spain (in
the foreground) sits on his throne and points toward Columbus’s landing. As the ships arrive, the Arawak
people tower over the Spanish, suggesting the native population density of the islands.
This historic moment in 1492 sparked new rivalries among European powers as they scrambled to create
New World colonies, fueled by the quest for wealth and power as well as by religious passions. Almost
continuous war resulted. Spain achieved early preeminence, creating a far-flung empire and growing
rich with treasures from the Americas. Native Americans who confronted the newcomers from Europe
suffered unprecedented losses of life, however, as previously unknown diseases sliced through their
populations. They also were victims of the arrogance of the Europeans, who viewed themselves as
uncontested masters of the New World, sent by God to bring Christianity to the “Indians.” The Spanish
enslaved Native Americans, forcing them to bring whatever gold could be found to fill Spanish coffers.

2.1 Portuguese Exploration and Spanish Conquest
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
• Describe Portuguese exploration of the Atlantic and Spanish exploration of the
Americas, and the importance of these voyages to the developing Atlantic World
• Explain the importance of Spanish exploration of the Americas in the expansion of
Spain’s empire and the development of Spanish Renaissance culture
Portuguese colonization of Atlantic islands in the 1400s inaugurated an era of aggressive European
expansion across the Atlantic. In the 1500s, Spain surpassed Portugal as the dominant European power.
This age of exploration and the subsequent creation of an Atlantic World marked the earliest phase of
globalization, in which previously isolated groups—Africans, Native Americans, and Europeans—first
came into contact with each other, sometimes with disastrous resu ...

European Age of Exploration
A World Map from Alberto Cantino, 1502
When we last left Europe, the Islamic trading influences had sparked a revolution of ideas in Italy that began to spread across the cultural centers of European kingdoms. The Italian Renaissance slowly spread across Europe, bringing new innovations in technology, art, music, scientific understanding, mathematics, and medicine. In turn these ideas had sparked the Reformation. However, by the sixteenth century, as the Reformation picked up steam and began spreading radical religious ideas throughout Christendom, already some European kingdoms had begun applying Renaissance inventions to new economic opportunities: Exploration.
The presence of patronage throughout royal courts had encouraged a stability of economies. This stability was called mercantilism – the economic doctrine that assumes government control of foreign trade is the most important element of ensuring prosperity for a given state. The idea is that trading partners need each other to prosper, so trading states are less likely to war with each other over minor details, lest that diminishes trade. The downside to mercantilism is that it can foster an atmosphere of such extreme competition between two or more states that other states end up falling prey to that intense rivalry. This is exactly what happened with cultures in Africa, North America, the Caribbean, and Mesoamerica. But the immediacy of stability caused by mercantilism contributed to the standing atmosphere of intellectual curiosity and increasing centralized governments to lead expeditions outside of European domains.
Portugal
The Portuguese had regained control over the Kingdom of Portugal in 1415, when conquering Christian forces had expelled the occupying Moors. Spain still had some years of fighting left to regain control over the remaining Iberian Peninsula, but Portugal began to set its affairs in order and set its sights on increased trade. Playing a key role in this development was Prince Henry the Navigator.
Prince Henry the Navigator extended Portuguese trade ports throughout the coasts of Africa and into India
Prince Henry was very religious and thought that exploring the African coastline might benefit Portugal in economic glory while benefitting African through conversion from mostly Islamic beliefs to Christian ideas. He established a navigation school to increase the knowledge of sailors. New techniques in ship-building allowed for longer journeys with more gods on board. He also spread the idea that courtly chivalrous honor could be achieved through behaviors off the battle-field. In addition to military glory, he thought, knightly behavior could be earned through intellectual exploration, religious piety and missionary work, and the adventure of journeying to places unknown. In the early 1400s, Portuguese sailors began sailing into ports along the African coast. They were there not as conquerors, but as traders.
And so, Portugues.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Commercial expansion in the XV Century
Species were an important product at
that time
Aragon was a kingdom focus on
trade, and Castilla had a good Fleet
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes

4. Fall of Constantinople
Constantinople was the capital of the
Byzantine Empire
It was an strategical point for the
trade of species, so Europeans should
look for new routes
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes

5. Interest in the maritime trade
Competition between Castille and
Portugal
Important new advances in the
exploration (astrolabe, new watches,
etc.)
Portugal: In 1415 Portugal conquered
Ceuta
In 1488 Bartolomé Díaz reached the
Cape of Good Hope in South Africa
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes

Castilla:
- New ship models (caravel)
- Castilla is interested in trade with
Europe, but France was an enemy ---

7. The facts. Colon´s journey
Colon believed the Earth was round,
so it would be possible reach the
“Indias” with an alternative route
People believed the Atlantic Ocean
was the end of the world.
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes
7
8. The facts. Colon´s journey.
He submitted his expedition to
Portugal, but Portugal refused his
Project because:
- Portugal had an alternative route
- Economic demands of Colombus
- France, England and Spain (the first
time) also refused the Project (it was
considered too risky)
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes
8
9. The facts. Colon´s journey
In 1492, after the conquest of
Granada, Isabel accepted his Project.
The agreement was called
“Capitulaciones de Santa Fé”
Colon looked for a partner to finance
part of the expedition (Pinzon´s
brothers)
¿Do you remember what is a
“Capitulación”?
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes
9
10. The facts. Colon´s journey
Colon went with three caravels: Niña,
Pinta and Santa Maria, and he stop
over in the Canary Islands before
going towards the “unknown West”
The journey took around 5 weeks,
and the crew was close to the
rebellion. Finally, they reached
America the 12th of October
(National Spanish Day)
Colon believed he was in Japan.
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes
10
11. The facts. Colon´s journey
He left a small town (Fuerte Natividad) and he
went back to Iberian Peninsula
He had a meeting with C.M, and Isabel tried to
legalize the new Discovery with a new agreement
with Portugal.
The negotiations were hard, but finally they
reached a deal: The Tordesillas Treaty (1494)
where the two powers established a new
imaginary line.
This deal will allow the colonization of Brazil by
the Portuguese.
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes
11
12. The facts. Colon´s journey
Colon will make three more trips to
America, but he was disappointed because:
- He was unable to find gold
- The trips are very expensive
- Spaniards are unable to adapt to the new
crops in America
- Indigenous attacks
- Internal rebellion against Colon
…Finally Colon was accused of “bad
government” and he was condemned to
prison, although he was forgiven by Isabel. He
died in 1506 in very bad conditions.
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes

13. The organization of a new world
The headquarters (Casa de
Contratación) were in Seville
(Gudalquivir river)
In the headquarters, Spanish Empire
organized the different tasks:
customs, warehouse, control of
emigration, etc. so everything was
centralized in Seville (departures and
arrivals of ships)
The 20% of the earnings in the New
World should be for the Crown.
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes
13
14. Organization of the new continent. Native
population
Castilla sent governors to rule the new territories
The native population was extremely pacific, and
Spaniards used them as a servants
America was a new way to become rich (lands and
servants)
The native population was very bad treated, so in
some islands the native population is substituted by
black people from Africa (i.e Cuba)
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes
14
15. Organization of a new continent. Native
population
Nevertheless, some Spaniards will
denounce the bad treatment of the
native population
Two key moments:
Grito de Montesinos(1512)
The Valladolid debate (one of the
most important debates in the
history of the world, in 1555)
Prof. Samuel Perrino Martínez. SEK Les Alpes

16. Organization of a new continent
The “De las Casas thesis” finally won
the debate.
The Crown will establish the “Laws of
Burgos”. According these laws the
Indians will be Spanish citizens
They will have some rights: salary,
house and peaceful conversion
Although these laws, the abuses will
continue in the American territories
