Prince Henry the Navigator is credited with starting the Portuguese sailing school in the 15th century. He was a key figure in the early days of the Age of Exploration, promoting maritime exploration and navigation.
English was spoken in the age of exploration, but the language had undergone significant changes since the Middle Ages. Early Modern English, influenced by French and Latin, was spoken during this time, with notable figures like William Shakespeare writing in this form of English.
Most of the impetus for Spanish exploration and pursuit of glory in the early 1500s came from the desire for wealth, power, and spreading Catholicism. The Spanish monarchs, such as Ferdinand and Isabella, supported expeditions to find new lands, resources, and territories to increase their influence and strengthen their empire. Additionally, adventurers and conquistadors sought personal riches and glory through discovery and conquest in the New World.
The name Sacagawea means "bird woman" in Hidatsa, a Native American language. Sacagawea was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who helped the Lewis and Clark expedition in their exploration of the Western United States in the early 19th century.
Our understanding of early human migration is based on archaeological evidence, genetic studies, and linguistic analysis. Uncertainty arises due to gaps in the archaeological record, limited genetic data, and the complex nature of human movement over millennia. The Viking exploration of America provides a specific example of pre-modern intercontinental contact, but more research is needed to fully understand the migratory patterns of early humans between Europe and Asia.
