The chinese treasure ships were about 400 ft long.
The chinese were great traders in the indian ocean trade route.

Vasco Da Gama was searching for gold and christians.
Columbus has a deserved reputation for sea travel, but Zheng He and Vasco Da Gama was much better than him.
They didn't have general anestesia during the times when Zheng He and Vasco Da Gama were travelling. Just Imagine how much it hurt for Zheng He to get his nice, beautiful apples cut off.
Lots of maps were made, which gave portugeese sailors an advantage.
Portugeese sailors were pretty much pirates, attacking people and forcing the attacked to trade with them.
American Indians are called that because of columbus. I call them Native Americans because that's nicer.
In 1492, columbus discovered america. Or so they say..... I think the Natives there were the rightful founders.

Vasco De Gama was looking for a guy so that guy would help them in a crusade.
The portugeese had to rely on extortion to row their ships.
People say that columbus just hit some islands. I don't think so.
Zheng He, De Gama, and Columbus were 3 of the best, no not just best, BESTEST sailors of all time. ALL TIME.
Don't travel through the sea without fruit, or you shall contract scurvy!
Do you want quality goods? Go to china in the monsoon marketplace times.
The Kow Tow is when ambassadors or actual nobles offer the emperor of china gifts, in exchange for the ability to trade with them.
They built the great wall during the monsoon marketplace times, actually, a little after they stopped trading with giant ships. After that, the mongols got pretty mad, they didn't like a huge wall blocking their awesome, sacking, bloodily killing skills.
Krester John was meant to live in africa, and Vasco Da Gama was searching for him everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

Columbus was not a lucky lucky idiot.
The Native Americans just kept america when they found out it was available, like "Oh, this land is available? In that case, we'll keep it! It's all the same to you."

Vasco De Gama is awesome! He was a pirate! He looted ships! And he forced captains to sign contracts so he can sell stuff to them! FORCED SELLING HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Say goodbye to your money!
Portugal's motivations were to find gold and Christians. Which was almost impossible as most of Christianity was on the European side of Eurasia. Spain is also fun. They also look for gold and Christians.
Columbus landed in the EAST INDIES! Like Magellan. But Magellan made a lot of mistakes. I lied. Columbus thought he landed in the east indies.
The pope split the world into 2 places. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL!
