More About this Product Columbus seeking the eastern coast of
India, Cabot a water passage to the Asian continent, Prince
Henry a quick route along the coast of Africa -- these
destinations defined the age of exploration as the 1500's dawned
in Europe. Three major cultures, the Native Americans, the
Europeans and the Africans were on the verge of encounter. This
program shows how these bold explorers were the catalysts for
European control of the New World and demonstrates the economic
impact of their journeys. Historical figures also include Leif
Ericson, Hernando Cortes, Francisco Pizarro, Ponce de Leon and
Panfilo de Narvaez.
