This week we will continue our investigation of the Age of Exploration. We will focus our efforts on the effects it had for peoples in the Old & New Worlds. We will look closely at Columbus, Pizarro, & Cortes. We will discuss the issues of the Columbian Exchange, including the transfer of culture, religion, & disease. We will investigate the interactions between conquerors & the conquered. Towards the end of the week we will shift our focus back to the Old World by discussing the Age of Absolute Rulers in Europe, along with the lasting impact some of these rulers would have for future generations.
