Exploration is impoetant to a country

Humans need exploration. Exploration also need humans. Curious, the special feature of humenbing, push people to explore and then the result of one exploration usually suspence another one. Countries require exploration eagerly for the discoveries, eather on newland, resources and trading,could bringing them great wealth and athurity.



Exlporing newland or continent is important to a country especially in olden times. The discovery of America Continent is a suitable example. Though it had been independent and grew into several large coutries,it had been colony of Eurpean countries and bring them great benefit.
The frist Eurpean people arrived there,despite of Vikings,is Columbus and his men. Columbus,the Spanish navigator who bame famas of his discovery of America,sail out to find a way to legendary Asia and regarded the continent he found as Asia all his life. Eventhough the land is not Asia,and there is nodiamond or gold full of ground, the discovery still give Europe great treasure and began a colony for a long time until American countries seperated from Europe.
Newland means new world where has numorous resourses .When Cabot frist arrived Canada , he was surprised by the cod which they must never seen in Europe. He noticed immediately that it's a valuable food resource and also the importance of American continent. Cartier, a voyage man and explorer, sail to Canada for tree times and sset up the colony to Canada. during his first voyage, he had a conflict between the native people and kidnap the chief's two son. At last the chief agree that his son would be taken to France under the promise of sending back them with lots of European goods. Cartier did send back them on his secons voyage to Canada. He had already got much things from Canada while he was not satisefied with that. He wanted to show the valueble and magic of Canada to the French king so he take the chief who could tell how rich Canada was to th king by heself.it really did, bring rich rescources to them.
Trading is an imporrtant part of exploration. exploration can give trading more kinds of goods and, in the other hand, trading stimulate the exploration of new product. There was a time when fur trading was vevery prevail between Canada and Eurpean. Fur resource in clude many species of animal and the fur from beavers occupyed important number of them. Beaver hat was popular in that period. the requirement made many kinds of beaverhat. Each kind has it's own feature and adventture. the fur trading is on the base of exploration.
expolration is important to a country, it can bring wealth to it.

Trought of video 2 of Cartier

The video 2 reveal the second voyage of Cartier which is the most interesting voyage in my throught. Cartier and his men had to stay in Canada because of the ice which sticked his ships while Cartier wasn't prepair for it. The more terrible thing is that scurvy spreaded betwen these French men. Many people were died in dismay and the situation was seriously uuntil one of the Chief's son recomended a herb what could cure the disease. tough the native man save the lives of the Frenches, Cartier wasn't pres ent any apreciate to them. At that time, Cartier hadn't got any thing to show the worth of Canada to the king so he plant out an idea which is to take the Chief and some native people to France. Considering that taking them in thier willing is hopelessly, Cartier invite them to joyin a party in his ship. The chief,chief's son and many native people came while Cartier shutted them in the ship. Many native people came near the bound and called thier chiefs'name but Cartier sailed the ship th France. Cartier promes to the Chief that he will be sent back soon. Chief was well treated in France but he was killed by the european disease. This was a pitty that the Chief stayed in France for four years and never come back.
