HW Assignment due Feb. 26, 2K18

Hey #Untouchables, we've got a HW assignment for you!  The Portuguese introduced something fairly revolutionary in the 1400s, race-based slavery.  Race-based slavery is the concept of enslaving another race because they are "different."  The word "slave" originates from the Slavic people who were captured during a time of war and then "enslaved."

We've talked about the reasons for European exploration and the effects of exploration so think of the following over the next week and when you do your HW assignment...

1. What effects had the largest impact in world history?
2. Who was directly affected by European exploration?
3. What nations were involved in exploration?
4. Why these nations?
5. What impact did these nations have on the nations they traded with?
6. What were some notable discoveries by the explorers?
7. What were the pros and cons of European exploration?

THE ASSIGNMENT:

Watch the video podcast below about Portuguese slavery.  In as much detail as you feel you can explain answer the question: How did the Portuguese' introduction of race-based slavery impact the Age of Exploration?
