The Vikings
Eric the Red famous for his red hair &
temper. His explorations first sailed west to the island of Iceland, when his family was exiled from Norway.
The Vikings
Eric the Red soon was exiled from Iceland &
in 982 AD sailing west again, & landed in what he called Greenland.
The Vikings
Greenland is now an autonomous country
within the Kingdom of Denmark, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (group of islands)
On the continent of North America

What seems odd or unique of Eric’s
Greenland?
It’s a very cold place, but Eric the Red wanted it to sound like a good land to settle.
He called it Greenland to encourage Icelanders to come there.
The Vikings
Eric’s son, Leif Ericsson, and his crew may
have been first Europeans to land in North America
He heard rumors of a land still farther to the west
In 1000 AD, he landed on Newfoundland on the east coast of what is now Canada.

Newfoundland
The Vikings
Newfoundland…
The Vikings
…Or,
Vineland
Vineland or “Land of Wine” was named because,
as legend goes, the men found grapes there
Soon groups of Vikings came to settler the Vineland
But, conflict broke out with American Indians
By 1050, those that survived had returned home
The Vikings
Since the Vikings did not have a written
language, how do we know about these adventures of 1,000 years ago?
The Vikings
ANSWER:
The Vikings created long spoken tales called sagas
Sagas are repeated from one generation to the next, and later some sagas are written down
Archaeological evidence also tells us about these early explorers.
The Vikings
Viking Boats that defied the
odds:

Ericsson named Newfoundland, Canada “Vineland” – legend that he found grape vines.
Vikings stayed from about 1000 – 1015 when war w/ Native Americans drove them away
No writing, all history in sagas (long, spoken tales passed down from one generation to the next) and archaeologists have found evidence to support sagas
The Vikings
Renaissance – Means “rebirth”, new beginning
of arts, science, and learning in western world
Euro cities like Venice were centers of trade, gaining wealth and learning from Chinese, Arabs, and the long gone Greeks and Romans
WHY was the Renaissance a “rebirth”?
The Renaissance
ANSWER:
It marked a new beginning in arts and sciences and a
desire to learn more about the world
The Renaissance
Renaissance spread from Italy out to Europe
Johann Gutenberg from Germany made printing press; It is a machine that made it possible to print large
number of books rapidly rather than being slowly hand copied.
Before the printing press, books were scarce & expensive because of the slow process in making them
WHAT were some of the benefits to the world because of it?
The Renaissance
ANSWER:
Books became available to more readers, now new ideas
could spread more quickly
The Renaissance

Gutenberg's Printing Press
Other advances came in ship building & design
Europeans adopted improvements from other cultures, like: Magnetic compass from the Chinese Astrolabe from the Muslims
Continuing to improve their ships, they became faster & safer to sail than ever before
WHAT was the outcome because of these improved ships?
The Renaissance
ANSWER:
As their ships improved, they were able to venture farther
and farther from Europe
The Renaissance
Portugal
The demand the goods from Asia, especially
spices were stronger than ever.
Explorers searched for new routes to Asia in 1400s to avoid dangerous Silk Road, & routes taxed highly by merchants
These problems sparked a drive to find new trade routes – sea routes.
The Portuguese Explore the African
Coast
Prince Henry the Navigator
Prince Henry “the Navigator” of Portugal
gathered together sea captains, mapmakers, & ship designers from many countries.
They shared knowledge to hire crews, & design ships to find new trade routes.
These experts improved navigation (science sailors use to plot course and find location from shore) and other sailing improvements
The Portuguese Explore the African
Coast
These missions of Prince Henry, though he never
sailed them himself, were sent off to map Atlantic coast of Africa and report sailing conditions.
Portugal ships began bringing home African gold
The Portuguese Explore the African
Coast
The Portuguese also benefited from slave trade
Slave trade is the buying and selling of human beings
Slavery had existed throughout the world for thousands of years
The Portuguese Explore the African
Coast
Portugal continued to explore w/ Bartolomeu Dias
who in 1488 traveled around tip of Africa and into the Indian Ocean
He named the African tip the “Cape of Storms” but the king of Portugal named it the “Cape of Good Hope”
Why do you think Dias & the king choose those names?
A Sea Route to India
A Sea Route to India
Cape of Good Hope
ANSWER:
Cape of Storms: Dias’ fleet was dashed by storms for days at the the cape before making it around
Cape of Good Hope: This name showed the Portuguese hope for sea routes to Asia
A Sea Route to India
10 years later, Vasco de Gama in 1498 traveled around
the Cape of Good Hope and reached India in 1498
Before long, Portuguese merchants settled in Calicut, India
They bought spices at low prices & shipped them to Europe
Portugal's sea routes made it a rich trading empire
A Sea Route to India
ANSWER:
Cape of Storms: Dias’ fleet was dashed by storms for days at the the cape before making it around
Cape of Good Hope: This name showed the Portuguese hope for sea routes to Asia
A Sea Route to India
Though caravans crossed the land and boat
skirted the coastlines, advances in sailing gradually increased how far & fast ships could travel.
In the 1400’s, Europeans established new ocean trade routes to Africa & Asia
Soon, they would be taking longer journeys, connecting the Eastern & Western Hemispheres
