| 298607422 | Bartolomeu Dias | Portuguese explorer who in 1488 led the first expedition to sail around the southern tip of Africa from the Atlantic and sight the Indian Ocean | 2 | |
| 298607423 | Christopher Columbus | Genoese mariner who in the service of Spain, led expeditions across the Atlantic, reestablishing contact between the peoples of the Americas and the Old World | 3 | |
| 298607424 | Ferdinand Magellan | Portuguese navigation who led the Spanish expedition of 1519-1522 that was the first to sail around the world | 4 | |
| 298607425 | Francisco Pizarro | Spanish explorer who led the conquest of the Inca Empire of Peru | 5 | |
| 298607426 | Henry the Navigator | Portuguese prince who promoted the study of navigation and directed voyages of exploration down the western coast of Africa in the 15th cent. | 6 | |
| 298607427 | Hernan Cortes | Spanish explorer and conquistador who led the conquest of Aztec Mexico | 7 | |
| 298607428 | Moctezuma II | Aztec emperor who died while in custody of the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes | 8 | |
| 298607429 | Zheng He | an imperial eunuch (had no balls) and Muslim, entrusted by the Ming emperor Yongle with a series of state voyages that took his gigantic ships through the Indian Ocean, from SE Asia to Africa | 9 | |
| 298607430 | Austronesia | islands of central and south pacific | 10 | |
| 298607431 | Caravel | a small, highly maneuverable three-masted ship used by the Portuguese and Spanish in the exploration of the Atlantic | 11 | |
| 298607432 | Conquistadors | early 16th cent. Spanish adventurers who conquered Mexico, Central America, and Peru. | 12 | |
| 298607433 | Gold Coast (Africa) | Region of the Atlantic coast of west Africa occupied by modern Ghana; named for its gold exports to Europe from the 1470's onward | 13 | |
| 298607434 | Conquest of the Aztec | So, here's the 411. Hernan Cortes comes in and is being aggressive. Moctezuma II is trying to be diplomatic (unlike the Mongols). Moctezuma is an idiot and invites the Spanish in after a while, and then BOOM, Spanish imprison Moctezuma and eventually take over the Aztec capital. | 14 | |
| 298607435 | Conquest of the Inca | Story time! SO, Atahualpa is the emperor of Inca Peru. Their army was crap because Atahualpa had been fighting for the throne. So when Franciso Pizarro comes in, it's pretty easy for him to take over (with only 180 men). | 15 | |
| 298607436 | European Exploration | The Europeans pretty much came over to the Americas and it was a race to get as many colonies as you could. There was little to no respect for any of the native peoples or any one who was born in the Americas, even if they were of European decent. European powers fought to get as much control as possible, and in the end, England and Spain got the most of Americas. | 16 | |
| 298607437 | Vasco da Gama | Portuguese explorer. 1497-98, he led the first naval expedition from Europe to sail to India | 17 |
