Unit 4.1.2 Spanish Explorers: Christopher Columbus 1492
Unidad 4.1.2 Exploradores españoles: Cristóbal Colón 1492
2
In the 1400s, Europeans wanted spices because:
They had no refrigeration or way to keep their food preserved (except for salt), so they needed spices to make their food taste better
They didn't bathe as much so they were very musty. They needed spices to turn into perfume to cover their mustiness
En la década de 1400, los europeos querían especias porque:
No tenían refrigeración ni forma de conservar sus alimentos (a excepción de la sal), por lo que necesitaban especias para que su comida supiera mejor.
No se bañaron tanto, así que estaban muy húmedos. Necesitaban especias para convertirse en perfume para cubrir su moho

To get these Asian spices for the lowest prices possible, Spain hired Christopher Columbus to find a direct water route from Spain to Asia.
Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492 thinking that he had found the best route to Asia.
Para obtener estas especias asiáticas a los precios más bajos posibles, España contrató a Cristóbal Colón para encontrar una ruta marítima directa desde España a Asia.
Colón zarpó de España en 1492 pensando que había encontrado la mejor ruta hacia Asia.
Columbus' Proposed Route
4
Columbus was WRONG about thinking he could find a direct water route to Asia from Spain.
Instead of landing in Asia, he landed on an island in the Caribbean Sea in North America.
Colón estaba EQUIVOCADO al pensar que podía encontrar una ruta marítima directa a Asia desde España.
En lugar de aterrizar en Asia, aterrizó en una isla en el Mar Caribe en América del Norte.
5
Even though Columbus didn't find his direct water route to Asia, he DID find a New World that Spain could
exploit for a profit $$$$.
Spain was motivated by the 3 G's - Gold, God, and Glory - and would do anything possible to get as much of the G's as possible.
Aunque Colón no encontró su ruta marítima directa a
Asia, SÍ encontró un Nuevo Mundo que España podría
explotar para obtener una ganancia $$$$.
España estaba motivada por las 3 G: Oro, Dios y Gloria,
y haría todo lo posible para obtener la mayor cantidad
de G posible.
