Land ho! Discover what the Age of Exploration was all about in this
wonderful addition to the bestselling Who HQ series! Before the
fifteenth century, European sailors were unsure what waited for
them beyond their well-known travel routes around the Mediterranean
Sea, so they kept within sight of land. But all of that changed
after Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal started sending ships
down the coast in the hope of finding a sea route to India and
Africa. This was the beginning of a giant leap toward understanding
what the globe actually looked like. Certain European nations grew
rich and powerful from the New World gold and lands they claimed,
while advanced, long-standing civilizations like the Aztecs and
Incas were destroyed in the cruelest of ways. This book also
features the fun black-and-white illustrations and engaging 16-page
photo insert that readers have come love about the What Was?
series!
