About 100 years before the rest of the European countries (starting in 1415), Portugal was an active sea
faring nation and had formed successful trading partnerships with northern African communities. Why
were they so successful? What prevented other European countries from competing with Portugal
during this time period? During the 1600-1700 CE, why were sailors afraid to go on long sea voyages? -
✔✔Portuguese started colonizing 100 years before rest of Europe because invented and designed an
ocean-travelling ship called the caravel. Made advancements in navigation tools (Portuguese were first
to navigate using latitudes). These technologies saved Portuguese sailors from unnecessarily long
voyages (>5years) shipwrecks, commercial losses, accidental discoveries, and not returning home. Sailors
during 1600-1700s were afraid of scary sea monsters attacking ships. They did not know where they
were going, could travel back home or fall into abys at edge of earth (since they thought Earth was flat).
Where did Portugal get the wood they needed to build ships that allowed them to form trading
partnerships with northern African countries? What did Portugal call the island where they cut trees to
build ships? After cutting the trees, what did they grow on the treeless lands? What is the link between
Portugal and the 13 original American colonies? Why did Great Britain not like the close interactions that
developed between Portugal and the American colonies? - ✔✔Portugal got the wood to build ships from
an island called Madeira, or "wood island". They started planting vineyards on the treeless lands. The
link between Portugal and the 13 original colonies was that they enthusiastically consumed a quarter of
all wine produced on the island every year (no wine quality grapes grew on thirteen colonies). Madeira
wine contributed to American revolution: British seized John Hancock's sloop after he unloaded cargo of
madeira wine and dispute rose over import duties. Colonists sold Portugal the wood the oak they
needed for wine barrels.

other lands? Since supplies of trees were already scarce at this time, what vicious cycle resulted from
this demand for trees? What evidence tells us that the Europeans were very successful colonizers and
conquerors of land during this time? - ✔✔Trees were so important for European countries to colonize
and conquer other lands because they were used to build ships. The evidence we have that tells us the
Europeans were very successful colonizers and conquerors of land is the amount of forests that they
decimated.

countryside? What was the role of the Hanseatic League in British ship building? What two industries
were responsible for forest loss in England during this time? - ✔✔During Henry VII's rule, England
imported almost everything including armaments. The Hanseatic League is what the British navy
depended on for materials to build ships. But they could not control these supplies, had to compete with
other European countries and pay lot of money for them Ship building industry and foundries to
manufacture weapons (cannons, guns, etc) these industries needed so much wood that led to rapid
deforestation.
Why did the British Navy need to continuously find new supplies of trees to build or to repair old ships?
What happened to Columbus on his 4th journey to the Americas and why did he spend almost a year in
Jamaica? Why were the new colonies in the Asian tropics important for the British navy? - ✔✔Because
building one new ship required 2,000 individual oak trees, repairing one ship required 435 individual oak
trees. British navy continued to expand. Trees also not used very efficiently. On Columbus 4th voyage, all
his ships sank due to damage by shipworms. Columbus forced to land on Jamaica, marooned for 1 year
before rescue. The new colonies in Asian Tropics important for British navy because (India) had teak
trees resistant to shipworm and good for building ships and because they lost american colonies (wood
supply).

century, what did this country harvest using ships built out of teak wood? - ✔✔Kuwait. Harvested pearls

unusual about this country becoming a major maritime power is that it is a desert country.

royal navy even if they did not own the trees. They tried to use the same policy in its American Colonies
