Three years later, the ship returned to Cádiz with only 1,800 people.

00:00:54,310 --> 00:01:01,310
Now, do you know who I am? I am Fernando Magallanes, the captain of La Victoria.

00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:06,310
And I am looking for a sea route around South America.

6
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:20,879
Hello, I am the Victoria and I was the first ship to cross the straits of Maléland and to sail across a new ocean. The Trap Chain trawled its Pacific Ocean.

7
00:01:20,879 --> 00:02:01,549
Isabella of Castile. We conquered Granada in 1492, then the Canary Islands in 1496, and finally the Kingdom of Navarre in 1520.

00:02:01,549 --> 00:02:24,990
After that, we came to the Kingdom of Naples in Italy and also to Melilla and another small territory in 1497.

00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:27,159
I came to the Kingdom of Naples in Italy.

14
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:38,159
I also conquered Melilla in 1497 and other small territories.

15
00:03:38,159 --> 00:04:04,180
In the 15th century, many people thought that the world was flat. Europeans only had information about Europe, North Africa and part of Asia.

16
00:04:04,180 --> 00:04:23,660
Christopher Columbus was convinced that the worst was wrong. On the 3rd of August of 1492, Columbus left Huelva with three caravan ships.

17
00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:36,660

I became the most powerful empire in Europe because I conquered most of the American continent.

22
00:05:39,649 --> 00:05:51,649
The world trade increased because the Spanish brought large amounts of gold and silver to Europe from America.

23
00:06:04,819 --> 00:06:12,779
These people are known as the pre-Columbian civilization because they lived on the American continent before Columbus.

into independent cities,

34
00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:39,220
each city as a leader.

35
00:06:39,860 --> 00:06:42,100
The Mayans were polytheists.

36
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:46,100

00:07:34,110 --> 00:07:42,110
I am the Mayan Sikhs. I am the Aztec Empire.

47
00:07:42,110 --> 00:07:47,110
