Here are some things to keep in mind as you study for tomorrow's quiz:

-French Explorers, why they sailed and the outcomes of their voyages
-Dutch Explorers (Henry Hudson: sailed from The Netherlands to North America looking for the Northwest Passage, found the Hudson Strait and Hudson Bay (the big one in North Canada). Was set adrift with his son in the Hudson Bay after his crew became fed up with him; William Jantzoon: Explored the South Pacific and was the first European to sight and map Australia.)
-Know who created the Line of Demarcation and why, and how the Treaty of Tordesillas replaced it and what was the outcome of the Treaty
-Who was Henry the Navigator, where was he from, and why was he important?

-Goods that were exchanged between the Old World and the New World on the Columbian Exchange
