During the Renaissance nearly every explorer who sailed beyond the horizon did not end up where they originally intended. While they may or may not have reached their original destination, they often stumbled upon places no one had ever heard of before! The 15th century was called "The Age of Exploration" for a great reason. These three men all changed the world through what they found or discovered. Christopher Columbus skills in navigation and exploring led him to discover America and prove his idea of the worlds roundness.John Cabot discovered parts of Canada while he was trying to sail somewhere else. Ferdinand Magellan's fame came from circumnavigating the world and discovering a westward passage to the

Spice Islands. These men of the Renaissance forced the dark Middle Ages to become more of an exiting, happy time called the Renaissance. Explorers changed the world.
