US History I Challenge 2
“Happy Columbus Day,” said Sally to her husband, Frank. “Your history-loving wife has
a new documentary for us to watch tonight.”
“Let me guess — something about Christopher Columbus?”
“Actually, it starts pre-Columbus. It looks really interesting. The clip I watched was about
the reasons the Spanish and the Portuguese began to move around Europe.”
“All right, dear. I think we have a bottle of Spanish wine somewhere. I’ll find it.”
Choose the false statement about motivations for maritime exploration by the Spanish
and the Portuguese.
● Columbus believed he could reach India by sailing west, which would vastly
expand trade markets for Spain.
● Spain wanted to expand Catholicism and to acquire a commercial and nautical
advantage over Portugal.
● After defeating the Muslims and regaining control of Spain, the monarchy turned
its attention to the seas.
● The expected wealth from Columbus’s successful voyage would be used to
support an invasion of Portugal.
● Portugal established posts in China and Japan, which gave it almost unrivaled
control over nautical trade routes.
● Spanish monarchs knew the Portuguese had reached the southern tip of Africa
and would soon reach Asia.
“I don’t know about you, but I learned a lot,” said Sally after the documentary ended. “I’d
never thought about the consequences of being relatively isolated to suddenly being
more connected to other groups and nations. It’s almost like the Old World and the New
World crashed into each other.”
“It’s similar to the Internet, don’t you think?” her husband asked. “Slower, maybe, but
you know what I mean.”
, “Sure. They even called it globalization in the film.”
Categorize the statements as reflecting "globalization," "colonization," or
"commodification."
