During 15th century (1401 – 1500), people in Europe only knew Asia and Africa because they
had a trading relationship with those regions of the world.
Europeans needed to get products like porcelain, silk, pearls, and spices from Asia and they
travelled through Constantinople, the capital of the Roman Empire.
Silk Pearls
Spices Porcelain
Let’s talk.

Are they important to your family? Why?

In 1453, the Ottoman Turks led by Sultan Mehmet II, conquered Constantinople and they

Europeans needed to continue trading with Asia, so they started looking for new routes.
During the 15th century many technological advances were made to make travelling easier.

Ferdinand Magellan
Let’s talk. Look at the map. Did Magellan travel near Chile?
Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese sailor, wanted to continue the exploration of the American
coast and find a passage to the East. Magellan’s expedition started in 1519. After a difficult
journey, Magellan found a connection between the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean.
He named it Estrecho de Todos los Santos. Now we call it Estrecho de Magallanes (Strait of
Magellan).
Ferdinand Magellan was the first explorer to circumnavigate the world. After he arrived in the
Philippines, he died in a battle against natives in the island. Sebastian Elcano took his place and
returned to Europe completing the first voyage around the world.
