The Age of Exploration, good or bad?
“Go... Go and spread our family’s glory” said Harry as he slowly went into a deep, never-ending sleep. Eric was horrified, his dad had just died because of malaria and he couldn’t do anything about it. He was determined to find a cure for malaria and become one of the greatest doctor’s in the world. He soon rode a ship that led to the new world. There, he found many new herbs and plants and also the fabled quinine... In this fictional short story, the main character Eric finds the cure for malaria. Using this, Eric makes one of the greatest medicine of the world, the cure for malaria. This greatly benefited both the New world and the Old world. Following this, the New world was also benefited in many different ways. The Age of exploration was positive for Europe because now, Europe could have new medicine such as quinine, New foods and also cigarettes.
Have you ever been sick before? If so, what had cured you in those times of dread? It was medecine! During the Age of Exploration, many explorers found herbs and plants such as quinine to cure many diseases. Without the Age of Exploration, you might have been dead by now. For example, in the 1300s there was the horrible Black Death that killed one-third of Europe. The black death could be easily cured today because of medecine. That’s all because of the conquest and the ‘discovery’ of the New World. Also, in the late 1800s, the Panama Canal was built. It was first constructed by the French then, finished by the Americans. During these constructions, many people died from yellow fever but, much more died from malaria. On the other hand, quinine was just recently discovered in the 1820s before the end of the constructions. Quinine saved a lot of the workers lives. If not for quinine, much more people than the 500 dead will be dead. That is why I believe that medicine was good for Europe not bad.
What food do you see if you think about Italy? Yes, tomatoes, but did you know that tomatoes were actually from the
