Both the Chinese and the Japanese were initially averse to trade with European nations. The Chinese limited trade to one port and forced trading nations to pay tribute to them.

The delegates compromise was the great compromise (also known as the new jersey plan) in which the house would be divided into the house of representatives where the number of representatives would be based on population and the senate where each state would be given 2 representatives.

The three ways that geography was effected by this voyages were:
- they finally proved that the Earth is round;
- the discovery of new continents and islands;
- mapping;
The voyages of this period of time were very important for the geography as a science, but also for the whole human kind. With them, it was finally proved that our planet is round, and thus that question and debates were given the answer that everyone was looking for for so long. Four new continents, and thousands of islands were discovered, and that gave a whole new perspective of the world, its shape, land masses, and water bodies. Since lots of new discoveries were made, and there was an ever-growing number of places discovered, the mapping was crucial, and there was a lot of focus on it which contributed to new techniques of mapping.
