3). Compare and Contrast the colonization of the Age of Exploration (15th and 16th century) with the imperialism of the 19th and 20th century.
The age of exploration was in the 15th and 16th century which was really about Europeans finding new trade routes and imperialist countries. They exchanged goods gold, silver and spices. The colonization of the age of exploration and imperialism were similar because they were both controlled by the Europeans whom were really ambitious and wanted all the land they can get to control to their own advantage. Since the Europeans had more modern technology like the steam boats due to the industrial revolution which played a major role. While in the age of exploration which traveled in voyages and in the ocean and all they wanted were god, gold, and glory. God being their leader who ordered them and gold in money and spices they got and glory is for what they get at the end and what they gain. In the imperialism all they wanted was the land and even though most of the countries had wealth.
