Marco Polo

Marco Polo is from Venice. He went on an expedition with his father and uncle to Xanadu (where Kublai's summer palace was located) to meet Kublai Khan. He came home after seventeen yrs. During his travels, he went to Cambulac (present day Beijing) where Kublai's winter palace was located. He traveled to many different places and also worked as a tax inspector for the Great Khan.

I'm no expert, but the general idea is that Marco traveled to China and became a favorite of Kublai Khan, traveling and working for him all over China, SE Asia,& India. He documented his journeys and the Chinese way of life. These works became historical documents because of the information concerning life in China under Mongol rule. Also, his detailed accounts became the foundation of some of the first correct maps of Europe and Asia. Polo also inspired future travelers such as Columbus and Vasco de Gama.

He made one trip with his father at 17 and stayed there in 25 years. When he got home he wrote a book that would influence exploring.

Probably his father and his uncle. They were travelers and went to China before he ever did. He accompanied them on their second journey to China when he was 17.

One result of the travels of Marco Polo was he wrote a book about his adventures while he was imprisoned, after he was caught in battle, his book inspired other Europeans to explore, such as Colombus.

There is some disagreement on just what foods Marco Polo brought home with him when he returned from Asia. The most likely things he brought were tea and various eastern spices. He is also said to have brought pasta to Italy.

Marco Polo's book about his 20 year stay in China fascinates many explorers like Christopher Columbus. Since Marco Polo traveled by land, his trip was long and dangerous so explorers tried to search for an all water route to the East. Instead of landing in the "indies" (India and East Asia) explorers like Christopher Columbus landed in the New World. Since he though he landed in China he called the Native Americans there "Indians" and he traded with them then sailed back to Europe. No one knew what he had discovered until he died. Christopher Columbus had found the New World and many explorers made expeditions and started to make colonies there. This changed many people's lives and how they lived. And that is how Marco Polo changed the world.

Columbus told the king and queen he would bring them back riches, and Spain at the time was competing with Portugal. In fact, Columbus also tried unsuccessfully to get support from Portugal, which was already finding sea routes to the East.
