Answer:

The Age of Exploration, or Age of Discovery, is one of the most important events in the history of the western world.  It began in the early 15th century and continued until the end of the 17th century, and involved European explorers using their navigational skills to travel the world.  In general, the Age of Exploration occurred for several different reasons, particularly in the countries of Portugal, Spain, France and England. ​First, European countries were seeking new trade routes to distant trading partners in the Far East, including: China, India and Japan.  European countries had traditionally traded with these countries through the Silk Road.  The Silk Road was mostly over land and took merchants a great deal of time to ship goods.  European countries were interested in speeding up trade by finding a quicker sea route. A second reason for the beginning of the Age of Exploration was the rise of absolute monarchies in Europe.  The powerful monarchs of Europe had centralized the authority and wealth of each country and used their vast wealth to fund the expeditions of many explorers.  For example, Christopher Columbus was funded by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. Third, Europeans had made some dramatic improvements in their navigational skill and technology that allowed early explorers to travel further and more accurately at sea.  For example, ship building had drastically improved in the years immediately before the Age of Exploration began.  New ships, such as the carrack and the caravel, allowed explorers to hold more cargo and the venture further than ever before.The final reason for why the Age of Exploration began is because Europeans of the time were interested in foreign cultures and goods.  In general, the Renaissance in Europe caused an expansion of new ideas and new understandings of the world.  Europeans were interested in learning about these new ideas and expanding on their worldviews. The Age of Exploration is considered to have occurred mostly with four European nations, which included: Portugal, Spain, France and England.  Each of these countries experienced the same forces that pushed them to explore the world, but they also shared one important characteristic.  They were all countries that bordered on the Atlantic Ocean and had easy access to the sea with many sea ports and experienced sailors.  This allowed these four nations to have the ability to begin exploring while other European nations did not.

The Jay Treaty negotiated in 1794 caused
NeX [460]

On this day in 1795, President George Washington signs the Jay (or “Jay’s”) Treaty with Great Britain.

This treaty, known officially as the “Treaty of Amity Commerce and Navigation, between His Britannic Majesty; and The United States of America” attempted to diffuse the tensions between England and the United States that had risen to renewed heights since the end of the Revolutionary War. The U.S. government objected to English military posts along America’s northern and western borders and Britain’s violation of American neutrality in 1794 when the Royal Navy seized American ships in the West Indies during England’s war with France. The treaty, written and negotiated by Supreme Court Chief Justice (and Washington appointee) John Jay, was signed by Britain’s King George III on November 19, 1794 in London. However, after Jay returned home with news of the treaty’s signing, Washington, now in his second term, encountered fierce Congressional opposition to the treaty; by 1795, its ratification was uncertain.

Leading the opposition to the treaty were two future presidents: Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. At the time, Jefferson was in between political positions: he had just completed a term as Washington’s secretary of state from 1789 to 1793 and had not yet become John Adams’ vice president. Fellow Virginian James Madison was a member of the House of Representatives. Jefferson, Madison and other opponents feared the treaty gave too many concessions to the British. They argued that Jay’s negotiations actually weakened American trade rights and complained that it committed the U.S. to paying pre-revolutionary debts to English merchants. Washington himself was not completely satisfied with the treaty, but considered preventing another war with America’s former colonial master a priority.

Ultimately, the treaty was approved by Congress on August 14, 1795, with exactly the two-thirds majority it needed to pass; Washington signed the treaty four days later. Washington and Jay may have won the legislative battle and averted war temporarily, but the conflict at home highlighted a deepening division between those of different political ideologies in Washington, D.C. Jefferson and Madison mistrusted Washington’s attachment to maintaining friendly relations with England over revolutionary France, who would have welcomed the U.S. as a partner in an expanded war against England.
