The European Voyages of Exploration
The modern world exists in a state of cultural, political, and economic globalisation. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries two nations, Portugal and Spain, pioneered the European discovery of sea routes that were the first channels of interaction between all of the world's continents, thus beginning the process of globalisation in which we all live today. This tutorial introduces the student to these two pioneering nations, their motivations, their actions, and the inevitable consequences of their colonisation. This tutorial also examines the geographical, technological, economic, political, and cultural patterns of that era.
Safari za Ulaya za Kuchunguza Ulimwengu wa kisasa upo katika hali ya utamaduni, kisiasa, na kiuchumi ya utandawazi. Katika karne ya kumi na tano na kumi na sita, nchi mbili, Ureno na Hispania, zilianzisha njia za baharini ambazo zilikuwa njia za kwanza za mawasiliano kati ya mabara yote ya dunia, na hivyo kuanzisha mchakato wa utandawazi ambao sisi sote tunaishi leo. Mafunzo haya huanzisha mwanafunzi kwa mataifa haya mawili ya upainia, motisha zao, vitendo vyao, na matokeo yasiyoepukika ya ukoloni wao. Mafunzo haya pia yanachunguza muundo wa kijiografia, kiteknolojia, kiuchumi, kisiasa, na kitamaduni wa enzi hiyo.
