EXPLORATION Why Explore? Explorers came to the New World in the 1400's and 1500's for many different reasons:  For adventure  To find an all-water route to the Far East  To claim lands for European countries  To get wealth for their countries Some of these explorers were:  Bartholemew Dias, the Portuguese explorer who sailed around the tip of Africa, then turned around before he reached Asia;  Christopher Columbus, who sailed west across the Atlantic Ocean thinking that he could reach the Far East;  Amerigo Vespucci, the navigator after whom America was named. Other Europeans to explore the New World were:  Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer who sailed around the tip of Africa, and then went all the way to India.  Pedro Cabral, the explorer for Portugal who ended up in Brazil. Because of Cabral's discovery, the people of Brazil speak Portuguese rather than Spanish.  Estevanico, the black African explorer who searched in Mexico and the southwest for the Seven Cities of Gold. Other men known for their exploration of the Americas were: Ponce de Leon, Balboa, Magellan, Cortez, Pizarro, DeSoto, Coronado, Verrazano, Cartier, Champlain, LaSalle, Hudson, Cabot, and Drake. © Copyright NewPath Learning.
