➧ PROVA:
➧ TEXT : Use the following text to answer the questions
01 to 13.
The Age of Exploration started in the
1400's. Europeans were desperate to get spices
from Asia. Spices were used to preserve foods
and keep them from spoiling. Spices, however,
were expensive and dangerous to get.
European rulers began to pay for explorations
to find a sea route to Asia so they could get
spices cheaper.
Portugal was the first country that sent
explorers to search for the sea route to Asia.
After Bartholomew Dias and his crew made it
to Africa's Cape of Good Hope, Vasco da
Gama and his crew became the first to sail
around Africa and through the Indian Ocean to
India in 1497. Spain, however, would soon
take over the lead in exploration. When
Portugal refused to finance Christopher
Columbus' idea to sail west to find the shortcut
to the Indies, Columbus convinced Spain's
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to finance
it. On October 12, 1492, Christopher
Columbus and his crew reached the island of
Hispaniola. Although Columbus believed he
had reached Asia, he had actually discovered
the entire continent of North America and
claimed it for Spain.
Spain quickly colonized North
America. Ponce de Leon discovered Florida,
and the first European settlement in the New
World was later established at St. Augustine.
Hernando Cortes crushed the Aztec empire in
Mexico and claimed it for Spain. Francisco
Pizarro did the same to the Incan Empire in
South America. Other explorers such as
Francisco Coronado and Hernando de Soto
claimed other portions of North America for
Spain. Vasco Nunez de Balboa even claimed
the entire Pacific Ocean for Spain. As the
Spanish empire grew, explorers forced native
populations into slavery and to convert to
Christianity. Meanwhile, France began to
explore North America. Explorations by
Giovanni Verrazano and Jacques Cartier
resulted in French claims of much of Canada
and the north Atlantic coast. England would
soon attempt to make its presence known by
financing pirates such as Francis Drake to
plunder Spanish settlements and steal gold
from Spanish sea vessels. England also
established a settlement in North Carolina in
1587. Territorial disputes and constant pirating
resulted in a series of major wars between the
competing nations. In 1588, the British Army
defeated the vaunted Spanish Armada. The
British victory proved a serious blow to
Spanish influence in the New World.
Although Spain still controlled much of
the New World after defeat, England and
France were able to accelerate their
colonization. England soon established
successful colonies throughout the eastern
portions of the United States, and France had
colonies in Canada and the middle portions of
the United States. By the mid 1700's, new
territorial disputes between England and
France eventually resulted in England gaining
control over much of North America after the
French and Indian War. English colonies
flourished in North America until 1776 when
the colonists declared their independence. The
Revolutionary War ensued and resulted in
independence for the colonists. The United
States of America was formed.
