Discussion due Saturday/World History

After reading Chapter 16, for your initial post, formulate either a positive or a negative viewpoint of European global exploration, conquest and colonization. Overall, was the “Age of Discovery” a triumph for humanity or a brutal tragedy? Argue that the Maritime Revolution was either good or bad– don’t support both sides of the question. (This is an exercise in rhetoric. You don’t have to believe your position completely– just make it convincing.) Be sure to credit your sources. For your two response posts, comment on other students’ work. Remember to explain your reactions (don’t just write “I agree with you”).
