00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:08,250
Hello, this is Elizabeth, and today we will be talking about Social Sciences 5, Unit 6, Lesson 3.

2
00:00:08,789 --> 00:00:14,730
And this lesson today is called, What Happened in the Age of Discovery?

3
00:00:15,130 --> 00:00:20,129
If you've already read about this in your textbook, this will be a little bit of a review for you.

4
00:00:20,190 --> 00:00:23,030
But if you haven't, feel free to follow along.

5
00:00:23,829 --> 00:00:29,789
So, during the early modern age, many explorers made voyages to distant lands.

6
00:00:29,789 --> 00:00:33,070
They discovered and conquered new lands and peoples.

7
00:00:33,329 --> 00:00:36,490
This is why this period is called the Age of Discovery.

8
00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:39,570
These explorers were called conquistadors.

9
00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:45,189
So today we will be talking about four of the really important conquistadors.

10
00:00:45,490 --> 00:00:48,409
And these are the four people mentioned in your book.

11
00:00:48,810 --> 00:00:52,789
So the first person we're going to be talking about is Christopher Columbus.

12
00:00:52,789 --> 00:00:54,729
So you may have heard his name before.

13
00:00:54,729 --> 00:01:04,469
in 1492 he went on a voyage to find a western route to asia he ended up thinking he had landed

14
00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:12,290
in asia but really he had discovered america he made three more voyages after that the second

15
00:01:12,290 --> 00:01:18,230
person we're going to be talking about today is hernan cortez and he was a conquistador who went

16
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:26,409
to Mexico in 1519. He traveled to the Aztec capital and the Aztec king gave him gifts.

17
00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:34,129
However, he captured the king and conquered the Aztecs. He founded Mexico City and became the

18
00:01:34,129 --> 00:01:41,650
governor of New Spain. The third person we're going to be talking about today is Francisco Pizarro

19
00:01:41,650 --> 00:01:51,469
and he was another conquistador. In 1532, he went to Peru. He then took the emperor captive,

20
00:01:52,329 --> 00:01:58,590
conquered the Incas, and became the governor of Peru. And finally, last but not least,

21
00:01:58,769 --> 00:02:06,250
the fourth person we are talking about today is Fernando Magallanes. He was the first person to

22
00:02:06,250 --> 00:02:08,530
sailed across the Pacific Ocean.

23
00:02:08,530 --> 00:02:13,530
He left Spain in 1519 and crossed the Atlantic Ocean.

24
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:19,009
He sailed around South America and into the Pacific Ocean.

25
00:02:19,009 --> 00:02:22,430
He crossed the Pacific and arrived in the Philippines

26
00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:26,490
where he was killed in the Battle of 1521.

27
00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:31,490
After that, Juan Sebastian Elcano took over the expedition.

28
00:02:31,689 --> 00:02:35,009
He arrived in Spain in 1522.

29
00:02:35,009 --> 00:02:39,250
Elcano became the first person to sail around the world.

30
00:02:40,210 --> 00:02:42,250
All right, in my next video,

31
00:02:42,250 --> 00:02:45,449
we will be doing a little bit of a review of this lesson,

32
00:02:45,449 --> 00:02:49,990
and we will be talking about who, what, where, when, and why.

33
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:53,069
And these are our five W questions.

34
00:02:53,069 --> 00:02:54,990
All right, I will see you next time.

35
00:02:54,990 --> 00:02:56,330
Have a great day.
