100 POINTS Project: Exploratory Routes
In this unit, you've read about the European exploratory voyages to the East and the colonization of the New World.
To this day South America and Mexico still have influences from the explorers that landed on their shores in the late 1400s and early 1500s. America is heavily influenced by the people who were seeking religious freedom and settled on the east coast of the U. S. How do you think life would be different if Spain had settled America first? Or, what if France and Britain had colonized Mexico and South America instead of Spain?
Objectives
Identify the exploratory routes that were taken during Europe's Age of Exploration.
Identify the locations of European colonies.
Create a map.
Materials List
Internet, textbook, or other sources of information
Let's Review!
From this project, you will have learned that:
European influence spread across a larger territory from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century.
Directions
Use the Internet to find a blank world map.
Label the map with the different exploratory routes and the locations that were colonized by Europeans from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. Be sure to label all the countries on your map from this time period.
You will need to identify and label the routes for the Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, English, and French.
Your map should include a title, key, and compass rose which provides a guide on how to read your map.

its heavy question but i'll try it in explanation i'll answer it

Explanation:

Spanish exploration of the New World was led by Christopher Columbus and Juan Ponce de Leon, who invaded and colonized great parts of what would become South, Central, and North America.

The French Empire, led by Jacques Cartier and Giovanni da Verrazano, focused predominantly on North America.

The Dutch in New Netherland confined their operations to Manhattan Island, Long Island, the Hudson River Valley, and what later became New Jersey.

British explorations of the New World were led by John Cabot and Sir Walter Raleigh. Trading companies, such as the Plymouth and London companies, were granted charters to develop and expand British settlements.

The course of New World explorations was deeply affected by the settlers’ interactions with indigenous groups—interactions that, through a combination of violence and disease, resulted in massive declines in indigenous populations.

Key Terms

British Empire: The United Kingdom, together with its dominions, colonies, dependencies, trust territories, and protectorates became the Commonwealth of Nations following the independence of many of its constituent countries.

New World: The continents of North America and South America combined.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus, supported by the Spanish government, undertook a voyage to find a new route to Asia and inadvertently encountered “new” lands in the Americas full of long established communities and cultures. Other European countries quickly followed suit and began to explore and invade the New World. Jacques Cartier undertook a voyage to present-day Canada for the French government, where they began the settlement of New France, developing the fur industry and fostering a more respectful relationship with many of the inhabitants. The Spanish conquistadors invaded areas of Central and South America looking for riches, ultimately destroying the powerful Aztec and Inca cultures. The course of New World explorations was deeply affected by the invaders’ interactions with indigenous groups—interactions that, through a combination of violence and disease, resulted in massive declines in indigenous populations.

On the evening of August 3, 1492, Columbus departed from Palos de la Frontera with three ships: a larger carrack, the Santa María ex-Gallega (“Galician”); and two smaller caravels, the Pinta (“Painted”) and the Santa Clara, nicknamed the Niña (“Girl”) after her owner Juan Niño of Moguer.
