Oklahoma Academic Standard 2. The student will analyze patterns of social, economic, political, and cultural changes during the rise of Western civilization and the Global Age (1400-1750 CE).
|
Objective 2.3 Analyze migration, settlement patterns, cultural diffusion, and the transformations caused by the competition for resources among European nations during the Age of Exploration.
|
In a Nutshell
|
Awareness of the treasures beyond European borders came about as a result of the Crusades. Students must develop an understanding of the driving forces for Europeans to acquire foreign goods. Dense populations and pressures on local resources encouraged movement beyond the continent in an attempt to develop trade networks that brought highly valued resources to Europe for consumption. Through this contact with new lands, the Colombian Exchange transformed people, political systems, trade, and culture.
