The thing is that while the blacked out areas were unknown to Europe there was more circumstancial information around. For example it was known that Africa can be circumnavigated (Egyptian and Roman sources made references to it) as the Egyptians have circumnavigated Africa millenia earlier. Furthermore there has been speculation about the existence of major land masses to the south (further south than Africa) and to the west. Arabic sources also had further information about inland Africa and he African west coast. There were Jewish and Christian settlements by in Ethiopia by the 3rd A.D century and Ethiopian kingdoms were speaking Greek and minting coins with Greek script by the 3rd century B.C.

And yeah, to my very limited knowledge of his writings, he never stated that it was a whole new area of the world... but... he did realize that it was a massive continent ("a mighty continent which was hitherto unknown"). I think he probably thought that there was some completely unknown continent south of China or India the same way that Africa was south of Europe, making the Red Sea a connecting Sea between possibly two large Mediterranean type seas. When he was at Hispaniola and the other islands, he very well may have thought he was in the Spice Islands (vaguely Indonesia/Philippines) but when he was exploring the coast of South America, my GUESS is that he thought it was a completely unheard-of land south of Asia (since maps had LONG since included lands like China, India, and Southeast Asia... at least in terms of concepts. Going all the way back to the Ancient Greeks, there was contact between Europe and India. But no one had ever heard of a massive new continent SOUTH of Asia (because there wasn't one there).

[@gabriels5589]

True, however a cast system was formed in the colonies which didn't allow natives or people of mixed race (or even full blooded spanish born in America) to hold positions of power or to have the same rights as other Spaniards. That didn't happened in the Roman empire, as we know of powerful greeks, Punics, assyrians and others in Rome holding position of power (even some emperors) and having full rights of roman citizenship. Moreover, the romans were very tolerant of other's religions, while the Spanish were not since the inquisition found its way to the new world, leading to many religiosly motivated deaths. In this sense, comparing the two empires that way is a bit misleading and outright false.

[@SusaVile]

Fun fact, it is said that the meridian was set that far away precisely to include part of Brazil, as the land had been supposedly already discovered but kept in secret. Vasco da Gama made the initial voyage in 1498 to India, but on its way diverted very close to the coast of Brazil. That year the treaty of Tordesillas is signed. Pedro Álvares Cabral was the captain who officially discovered Brazil in 1500, while going to India. Unlike Gama, Cabral was not as recognized and rewarded by the king. This makes historians believe that: - Gama had already discovered Brazil, but the discovery was kept secret; - the treaty was signed after this, to ensure it would include some land east of the meridian; I guess we will never know for sure, but I like to believe there was something with those decisions;)

[@Mr33Arcadian]

You should mention that one of the main driving forces for the western expansion is the fact that the Ottoman Empire was in near-complete control of Eastern Med, Middle-East and the trade routes (land and sea) in collaboration with its allies like Egypt. It is an important parameter not to be left out. That was also the reason for the south-of-Africa route to India.

@@whitelightning2100 Actually, some say the Portuguese secretly discovered Brazil earlier than the accepted year, but kept it from their competitors in Europe. The dividing line from the Treaty of Tordesillas was moved further west twice on the insistence of the Portuguese before they would agree to it. So they may have actually been the scammers.

[@joselugo4536]

Until the Portuguese were scammed by the best con artists ever known in history, their ally, the British, that even obtained for them the exclusive rights to the perpetual monopoly on the slave trade granted by a Papal bull from Pope Nicholas V in 1454 to Portugal.

[@Natibe_]

Because it’s not very accurate at all. Conquistadors have incorrect conquest lines, the Louisiana purchase was not spanish- the US bought it from Napoleon- the Brazilian interior isn’t shown at the right time, he goes into specific detail on some things (like colombus’s route) while completely refusing to mention things which were just as important. This would not be suitable for presentation in anything above a fourth grade classroom, It’s poor quality information on a high quality background.

Your use of black is brilliant . i am sending this link to all my students in Japan . BUT 2 minor technicalities 4:36 you say Magellan was seeking a rout around the world. In fact he only wanted to find a western rout to Asia -- fulfilling Columbus's objective. He intended to reverse trace his voyage back to spain. it was only after they discovered the futility of their dangerous way though the straits and the expanse of the pacific that his crew decided ( after the filipinos killed him) on the safer easier way of continuing westward to get home 8:25 i would put western TX border at independence-time at the Nueces River. and wait til the Mex.Am. war treaty ot 1848 to use the Rio Seco -- i mean Rio Grande -- 8:32 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_annexation THANKYOU .

[@ekul7894]

[@Enourmousletters]

A widespread knowledge is that Columbus died without knowing he reached a new continent. But: In Columbus Journal of the Third Voyage (1498) it is written: "I have come to believe that this is a mighty continent which was hitherto unknown. I am greatly supported in this view by reason of this great river, and by this sea which is fresh."

Leif Erikson *discovered America *'no one' cares Christopher Colombus *got lost in the way to Asia *contradicted Erathostenes' measures *'everyone' credits him

[@Felix-gg5cj]

Leif Erikson never made it back to tell the news. As most vikings explorers were banned convicts they were not even allowed to come back.

[@itlproductions4282]

Kolafloro Columbus was using a popular map of the world at the time for his calculations. It is also to say he never knew he discovered a new continent because in his journals he says that he must have discovered new lands because the islands he lands on where not on the map he was following.

[@Miguel-sg7ll]

One thing is to have a very reduced contact in the north and other thing is to have direct contact and also stablish colonies there.

[@dogesky5439]

Leif Erikson set up a lumber camp for 1 year in America, after which it was abandoned. Christopher Columbus opened up both halves of the world to each other and helped jumpstart further European incursions into the Americas. There's a reason he's credited for discovering America and why people consider his discovery to be more significant.

BARBATUS 89 If the Spanish thought that they wouldn’t have raped, murdered and stole from them. How dumb are you boy?

[@Welkubacca]

@@user-yu8vm6ru3d That's completely irrelevant, Europeans raped, killed and stole from each other as well, regardless of whether they where "God's children" or not. Same thing with any ethnic or religious groups. The difference that Barbatus is pointing out is that Spaniards had little to no issue in interbreeding with Native Americans while U.S. Americans, British and French settlers frowned upon such action. This is reflected in the demographics of each nation. Latin America being mostly made up of Mestizos and Castizos while Canada and the U.S.A. are mostly made up of Whites. You seem to know little of the topic so I wouldn't go around asking other people how dumb they are if you are completely ignorant of it.
