About this poster
Portugal Sets Sail The Age of Exploration began along the Atlantic coast of Iberia, where Prince Henry the Navigator sponsored voyages down the African shore. Portuguese captains like Dias and da Gama cracked the sea route to Asia, breaking the old monopoly on the spice trade.
A New World In 1492 Columbus crossed the Atlantic for Spain, colliding with continents unknown to Europe. Within decades, conquistadors like Cortés and Pizarro toppled the Aztec and Inca empires, while Magellan's expedition proved the globe could be circled.
Charting the Globe As Spain and Portugal built vast empires, other powers joined the race. The English planted Jamestown, the Dutch navigator Tasman mapped Australia and New Zealand, and explorers pushed into the northern seas in search of new passages.
The Final Frontiers By the eighteenth century, systematic scientific voyages replaced the treasure hunts of earlier eras. Bering probed the Arctic gap between continents, and James Cook's Pacific expeditions filled in the last great blanks on the world map before his death in 1779.
