History

kobusy [5.1K]3 years ago

Europe's desire for an ocean route to Asia shaped its contacts with Africa during the 15th century. The Portuguese explorers were the first to discover these lands because the Spanish already had a large part of America. This period was also the beginning of slavery of African black populations and the construction of great colonial empires.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Before the mid-fifteenth century, Europeans believed that the southern limit of the world was near Morocco, Cape Bojador located in Western Sahara. The Portuguese tried to reach Asia from the south, discovered new lands where they established slavery and built a colonial empire.

→ The chronology of it is:

1441: Nuno Tristão and Antão Gonçalves discovered the white cape located in Mauritania in Nouadhibou.

1444: Dinis Dias discovered the Senegal River and Cape Verde.

1460: Pedro de Sintra discovered Sierra Leone.

1488: Bartolomeu Dias overtook the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

1498: Vasco da Gama arrived in India at Kozhikode.

Following its discoveries, the other European countries shared Africa. France and England were the most who inherit the land. The French colonized the west and north of the continent, while the English colonized the east and south. Other countries such as Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands had some lands, but very few compared to the other two great colonial powers of that time.

As a result of the collapse of roman rule in 476, what did western Europe experience ?
gregori [183]

<span>The </span>Fall of the Western Roman Empire<span> (commonly known as </span>Fall of the Roman Empire<span> or </span>Fall of Rome) was the period of decline in the Western Roman Empire in which it disintegrated and split into numerous successor states. By 476 CE, when Odoacer deposed the Emperor Romulus, the Western Roman Empire wielded negligible military, political, or financial power and had no effective control over the scattered Western domains that could still be described as Roman. Invading "barbarians" had established their own polities on most of the area of the Western Empire. While its legitimacy lasted for centuries longer and its cultural influence remains today, the Western Empire never had the strength to rise again.
