document.write(""); PIZARRO, FRANCISCO Church this solution of the controversy was of great significance, and created a desire for further dogmatic decisions on the Virgin Mary—her resurrection and ascension. But the procedure of Pius IX. proved of far-reaching importance from another point of view. True, he had taken the opinion of the bishops on the subject, and had received the assent of a large majority; none the less, the verdict was pronounced by himself alone, not by an ecumenical council. Thus, by arrogating the function formerly exercised by the ecumenical council, he virtually laid claim to the infallibility which had always been regarded as inherent only in the doctrinal pronouncements of such a council: in other words, he availed himself of a privilege not accorded to him till the 18th of July 1870. to his successor. For, in the encyclical Quod numquatn (E~ 5, 1875), he took the rash step of declaring invalid the Prussian laws regulating the relationship between Church and state—the only result being that the feud was still further embittered. In these later years the dark days of his “captivity” were amply compensated bythe proofs of reverence displayed by Roman Catholic Christianity, which accorded him magnificent ovations as his period of jubilee began to fall due. The twenty-fifth anniversary of his pontificate was celebrated with great splendour on the 16th of June 1871; for he was the first pope who had thus reached the traditional “years of Peter.” In 1872 his 80th birthday gave occasion for new demonstrations; and 1875 was a so-called “year of jubilee.” Finally, in 1877, the fifty years of his priesthood were completed: an event which brought him innumerable expressions of loyalty and led to a great manifestation of devotion to the Holy See from all the Roman Catholic world. On the 7th of February 1878 Pius IX. died. His successor was Leo XIII.

Description of lesson/activity: The students will have completed the research and class discussions about the situation in Europe during the 1400s which caused the Europeans to explore. Students have also identified the attributes necessary for an explorer. Students will now ex amine the lives and explorations of several individual explorers. Rather than dwell on a chronology of explorers and accomplishments, the activity has been designed to emphasize the in±depth research of a few explorers and to use this research to infer the exploration policies of the countries involved. The students should be divided into groups of three. One student from each group should be assigned to gather information on three explorers from Spain; the second student should gather information on explorers from France; and the third on explo rers from England and the Netherlands. Spain and France were highlighted because they were the leading countries during this time period. England and the Netherlands were examined together because they had similar exploration policies and were no t as prominent as the others in the search for new lands. Portugal was not included because their early discoveries were dealt with in the first part of this unit as the cause for other Europeans to explore. Fact sheets have been provided for the following explorers:

The European Age of Discovery Since the days of antiquity, exploration of the world has been motivated by the desire for adventure, colonization, conquest and trade. During the Middle Ages the Norsemen crossed the Atlantic to Iceland, Greenland and North America ca 1000 A.D. However, these expeditions did little to stimulate the rest of Europe's interest in the western hemisphere. During the 12th century European attentions turned to the East as the objective of the Crusades, was to capture the Holy Land from the Muslims. European knowledge of, gained during the Crusades, and interest in the East was intensified by the journeys missionaries across Asia and the wide circulation of Macro Polo's detailed account of the wonders of the Orient. During the course of the Crusades overland trade routes were developed thereby increasing trade between Europe and the far East. By 15th century, the breakup the Mongol Empire and the growth of the Ottoman Empire blocked Europe's overland trade to the East. The search for new trade routes, the rise of merchant capitalism, and the desire to exploit the potential of a world economy initiated the European "Age of Discovery and resulted the discovery of unknown continents, the expansion of Europe and the creation of great empires. Henry the Navigator promoted expeditions along the cost of Africa that helped dispel the superstition and misconceptions that impeded previous attempts to sail through the torrid zone. The magnitude of the world is revealed by Bartholomew Diaz rounding the Cape of Cape Good Hope, Vasco de Gama's trip to India, Columbus' voyage to the America's and the circumnavigation of the world by the expedition of Ferdinand Magellan. The Spanish and Portuguese monopoly, resulting from the Treaty of Tordesillas, stimulated efforts to find other passages to the East and was later challenged by the French, the Dutch and the English.

Christopher Columbus discovered America for Spain in 1492. Columbus thought that he could reach the Indies quicker if he sailed west. The islands that he first reached are still called the West Indies. Although Columbus returned to America three more times, he died believing that the land he had reached was Asia. Columbus made four voyages to the Americas. On his third voyage, he landed on the mainland of South America on the coast of Venezuela. The colony Columbus had founded on Hispanola on his second voyage rebelled. This revolt by the colonists put him in disgrace. He died without regaining his fortune or his prestige, but today his voyages are recognized as being among the most important events in history. Christopher Columbus on Santa Maria in 1492.

These people in the Caribbean have no creed and they are not idolaters, but they are very gentle and do not know what it is to be wicked, or to kill others, or to steal...and they are sure that we come from Heaven....So your Highnesses should resolve to make them Christians, for I believe that if you begin, in a little while you will achieve the conversion of a great number of peoples to our holy faith, with the acquisition of great lordships and riches and all their inhabitants for Spain. For without doubt there is a very great amount of gold in these lands . The people of this island [Hispaniola], and of all the others that I have found and seen, or not seen, all go naked, men and women, just as their mothers bring them forth; although some women cover a single place with the leaf of a plant, or a cotton something which they make for that purpose.

Hernando de Soto: a Brief History by Dr. Lawrence A. Clayton De Soto, «dih SOH toh,» Hernando (1500?-1542), a Spanish explorer, helped to defeat the Inca empire and led the first European expedition to reach the Mississippi River. From 1539 to 1542, he led a large Spanish expedition through what is now the southern United States. His army landed in Florida and crossed about 10 present-day states. De Soto became known as a courageous explorer who helped conquer the New World for Spain. However, the era of exploration was marked by greed, intolerance, and cruelty. In their search for wealth, de Soto and his men tortured and brutally killed many Indians. Early expeditions. De Soto was born in the province of Extremadura in Spain. As a teen-ager, he sailed to the New World and began his career as an explorer in the tropical rain forests of Panama. De Soto served in expeditions to enslave Indians and to search for wealth. By the early 1530's, de Soto was known as an excellent soldier and horseman. He joined an expedition led by Francisco Pizarro, another Spanish explorer, against the empire of the Inca Indians in what is now Peru. After a short delay, the men began their journey in 1532 with a small army of 168 men. They reached the city of Cajamarca, where a huge Inca army, commanded by Emperor Atahualpa, was camped. Pizarro sent de Soto with a small troop of 15 cavalrymen to invite Atahualpa to meet with Pizarro. The Spaniards ambushed the Inca and captured their emperor. Although the Inca paid an enormous ransom for their emperor, the Spaniards executed him. De Soto helped Pizarro capture Cusco, the Inca's capital, in 1533.

A Brief History of the Land of Enchantment I n 1998, New Mexico reached a milestone in its long and colorful history. It is the year the state observed the Cuatro Centennial, or 400th anniversary of the founding of the Spanish colony at the Tewa village o f Ohkay in 1598. Early Spanish Exploration of the Southwest In 1536, the ragged survivors finally emerged from the wilderness at Culiacan, on the west coast of Mexico. Cabeza de Vaca’s report to the Spanish Viceroy, Antonio de Mendoza, included a brief mention of stories they had heard which told of large cities in the interior of the continent where valuable minerals were traded. These sparse but tantalizing bits of information sparked a renewed interest in the Spanish quest to find the “new” Mexico which had so far eluded them. In 1539, Mendoza authorized Marcos de Niza, a Franciscan priest who had accompanied Pizarro to Peru, to conduct a preliminary exploration to determine the truth of these reports. Estevan went along as the expedition’s guide. We can only imagine what the indigenous peoples they met thought of the light skinned men who rode astride unfamiliar creatures, wearing uncomfortable looking clothes which reflected the sun, aggressive and often rude men who carried weapons made of steel and who persisted in knowing about cities where a bright yellow metal could be found. It must have been a frightening, yet wonderful encounter. Little did either of these two diverse cultures know that their worlds would never be the same.

Francisco Pizarro Francisco Pizarro was born in Trujillo, Estremadura, Spain in about 1471 and died in Lima Peru on June 26, 1541. He was the illegitimate son of Gonzalo Pizarro, an infantry captain, and Francisca Gonzalez. Francisco never went to school, and never learned to read or write. He sailed to the New World with Alonzo de Ojeda, on November 10, 1509 and was with him on his discoveries of present day Venezuela and Colombia. When Ojeda founded the city of San Sebastian, in Colombia, Pizarro, was left in charge of the settlement while Ojeda went to Española for supplies and re-enforcements. Due to sickness, lack of food and supplies, and hostile natives, the colony soon started leaving, and Pizarro went to Cartagena. At Cartagena, he joined the expedition of Martin Fernández de Encíso , who had left Española with supplies for the colony of San Sebastian. This was the same expedition, that Vasco Nuñez de Balboa had stowed away on. From Cartagena, the fleet sailed on to San Sebastian. While there, they had problems with the hostility of the local inhabitants, and Balboa suggested that they move across the bay, to a place where the natives did not have poison arrows, and were friendlier.
