The Treaty of Tordesillas established in 1494 divided territory outside Europe between Spain and Portugal along a meridian 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde islands. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain and King John II of Portugal agreed on the demarcation line to settle conflicting claims and prevent disputes over newly discovered lands in the Americas and Africa. However, the treaty lacked specifics about which island marked the starting point of the 370 leagues or the exact length of the league unit of measurement.

Age of Exploration and Treaty of Tordesillas
The Treaty of Tordesillas was signed in 1494 between Spain and Portugal to divide lands outside of Europe between the two powers. It established zones of exploration, with Spain receiving lands west of a line 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands, while Portugal received those to the east. However, the boundary was unclear due to lack of geographical knowledge and varying definitions of leagues. This led to later disputes between countries over claims in the Americas and Asia.
The Treaty of Tordesillas
The 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas divided newly discovered lands between Spain and Portugal, granting Spain lands to the west of an imaginary line 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands, and Portugal lands to the east. However, geographic knowledge was uncertain, and the division proved imprecise and a source of conflict. The treaty was later modified in 1529 by the Treaty of Zaragoza to continue the meridian onto the other side of the globe at 145 degrees east, in an attempt to more clearly define territorial divisions as European exploration expanded globally. Still, military might ultimately determined control, as Spain refused to relinquish the Philippines despite it falling under Portugal's sphere of influence until 1898 when the U.S. took
Sword and the cross:instruments of pacification and exploitation
The document summarizes the key events and strategies used by the Spanish in their conquest and colonization of the Philippines in the 16th century. It describes how Magellan held the first Catholic mass in 1521 and later events involving Legazpi, including the establishment of Manila as the capital. The Spanish utilized both the sword (force) and the cross (religion) as well as rituals like the blood compact to help occupy the islands more easily and centrally administer the population.
The golden Age of Spain and Portugal
Portugal and Spain first rose to economic prominence through worldwide trading activity starting in the 15th century. They were motivated by spreading Christianity ("God"), gaining fame and wealth ("glory and gold"). Portugal's Prince Henry the Navigator established a navigation school and sponsored voyages down the west African coast. Bartolomeu Dias was the first to sail around the Cape of Good Hope in 1487. Vasco da Gama reached India in 1498, establishing Portugal as a colonial power. Spain sponsored Columbus' voyages westward beginning in 1492, leading to Spanish conquests of the Aztec and Inca empires and colonization of the Americas. This established Spain and Portugal as the first global colonial empires, controlling

Dias
Bartolomeu Dias was a Portuguese explorer born in 1450 who was the first European to sail around the Cape of Good Hope in 1488. He did so on a voyage commissioned by King John II to find a sea route to India for trade. However, Dias initially named the cape the "Cape of Storms" before the king renamed it the "Cape of Good Hope." Dias later accompanied Vasco da Gama on an expedition to India in 1497 before dying in a shipwreck near the Cape of Good Hope in 1500 at the age of 50.

Ferdinand Magellan led a fleet of five ships on an expedition to explore a western route to the Spice Islands in 1519. The expedition faced many hardships including mutiny, storms that destroyed one ship, lack of food, and disease that killed most of the crew. Only 18 crew members survived to return on the single remaining ship, though Magellan did not survive as he was killed in the Philippines in 1521. The expedition proved that the world was round and was the first to circumnavigate it, starting a debate on territorial claims in Southeast Asia.

Lecture 3 new imperialism 2013
The document discusses the causes and expansion of European imperialism from 1870-1914, known as the New Imperialism period. The key causes were economic needs for raw materials and new markets, political competition between European powers to gain status and prestige through colonial empires, and the influence of social ideologies like Social Darwinism. During this time, there was an unprecedented rush by European nations to colonize Africa and Asia, with around 90% of Africa being conquered by European powers in just 20 years. Britain and France competed heavily for control in Africa and Asia, while Germany and other latecomers also sought to build colonial empires.

The document discusses the factors that inspired the exploration of the New World. It explores the push factors that encouraged Europeans to explore, such as war, competition, and new technologies. It also examines the pull factors that attracted explorers to new lands, including gold, glory, and the spread of Christianity ("God"). The document analyzes how these factors led to changes for both the explorers and indigenous populations, such as wealth generated in Europe but disease and violence inflicted upon native peoples in the Americas.
European expansion
European powers expanded their global influence between 1450-1750 due to a desire for trade, resources, and spreading Christianity. Portugal pioneered exploration down the coast of Africa in search of routes to Asia following Marco Polo's accounts of the East. Christopher Columbus' voyages for Spain in 1492 opened up European settlement and colonization of the Americas, though indigenous peoples had long inhabited the lands. Spain and Portugal raced to establish colonial empires in the Americas and Asia, while other powers like England, France, and the Netherlands soon followed to establish North American colonies focused on fur trading and other economic activities. By the 1600s, European colonial holdings had been established across large parts of Africa, Asia, North America, and South America
Reign of terror
During the Reign of Terror in France, the revolutionary government confiscated church lands and enacted laws to de-christianize the nation. They removed religious symbols from churches, outlawed Christianity, and declared themselves enemies of the Catholic Church. Non-compliant priests were liable to execution if they did not swear loyalty to the new government. Thousands of clergy members were killed by the mob or imprisoned during this period of anti-Catholic persecution.
The Spanish Conquest and the Colonization of the Philippines
The document summarizes the Spanish conquest and colonization of the Philippines. It details how the Portuguese pioneered oceanic trade routes to Asia in search of spices. This led the Spanish to send Ferdinand Magellan to reach the Spice Islands by sailing west in 1519. Magellan's expedition made landfall in the Philippines and converted local leaders to Christianity, but he was later killed in a battle against Lapu Lapu in Mactan Island in 1521, making him the first European to die in the Philippines. The Spanish continued colonizing the islands and imposing their religion over the next centuries.
God Gold Glory: The Age of Exploration
The document summarizes the motives and means of European exploration and expansion in the 15th and 16th centuries. The three main motives were religion ("God"), profit ("Gold"), and increasing power and national pride ("Glory"). Key means included new technologies, powerful monarchs, and early leaders like Prince Henry and explorers like da Gama, Columbus, and Magellan. Their voyages established European control over trade with Asia and led to conquests in the Americas and the Columbian Exchange of plants, animals, and diseases between Europe and the Americas, transforming global societies and economies.
The Modern Age in Spain (I)
During the 15th and 16th centuries in Spain:
- Ferdinand and Isabella unified the country and imposed Catholicism, establishing the Spanish Inquisition.
- Their support of Columbus led to the discovery of America in 1492, bringing gold and silver back to Spain.
- Under King Charles I and King Philip II, Spain built a vast overseas empire through further exploration and conquest, most notably defeating the Moors in Granada. However, the costs of maintaining this empire began to economically drain Spain.
European exploration map
European powers explored and colonized much of the world between the 15th-17th centuries seeking to spread Christianity, gain territory, and profit economically. Portugal led exploration down the coast of Africa. Spain established vast American and Asian empires through conquistadors like Pizarro. The British, French, and Dutch later established global trading empires through colonization of North America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. European exploration and colonization transformed global politics and economics and led to the rise of powerful Western empires.
The coming of the Spain
Ferdinand Magellan led the first circumnavigation of the world as a Portuguese explorer sailing for Spain, discovering the Philippines for Spain in 1521. The Spanish were interested in colonizing the Philippines after Magellan's voyage made them aware of the geography and potential for colonization. Miguel Lopez de Legazpi led the most successful Spanish expedition to colonize the Philippines in 1565, establishing the first Spanish settlement in Cebu and later conquering Manila in 1571, effectively conquering much of the Philippines for Spain in the 16th century through superior weapons, military strategy, and introducing Christianity.
The Spanish Era
The document discusses the exploration and colonization of new lands by European powers beginning in the 15th century. It summarizes key explorers like Vasco de Gama, Christopher Columbus, and Ferdinand Magellan. It also discusses the rivalry between Portugal and Spain over territories, and how they divided influence through agreements like the Treaty of Tordesillas. The Spanish then began colonizing the Philippines in the 16th century, implementing systems like encomiendas to administer and extract tribute from the native population. They also sought to hispanize the natives through resettlement, education, and spreading Catholicism.

Portugal was the first to send expeditions to Asia in search of new trade routes. Prince Henry of Portugal established colonies in Africa and developed new navigation instruments. In 1487, Bartholomew Diaz discovered the Cape of Good Hope while sailing around Africa to reach India, opening a new route for Portugal. Spain then sent Columbus in 1492 to find a western route to Asia, resulting in the discovery of North America instead. Further Spanish explorers like Amerigo Vespucci and Vicente Pinzon explored the new lands, leading to naming the continents America.

Rizal published his work "Indolence of the Filipinos" in five installments in La Solidaridad from July to September 1890. In it, he admits that indolence exists among Filipinos but argues one must study the causes before proposing solutions. He attributes Filipino indolence to factors like forced labor, lack of encouragement of trade from the government, and limited education and training received by natives, which reduced the causes of indolence to those two primary factors.
Aztecs Jesús y Adri
The Aztec people dominated parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to 16th centuries, speaking Nahuatl. They formed the Aztec Triple Alliance centered in the capital city of Tenochtitlan in the Valley of Mexico. Through alliances and military conquest, the Aztecs came to rule a large tributary empire across Mesoamerica by the early 1500s. However, in 1521 the Aztec Empire fell when the Spanish, led by Hernán Cortés, allied with native peoples and conquered Tenochtitlan, establishing Mexico City on its ruins and colonizing the region.
