The Historical Geography Of World: Develop and Developing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798790196645)

The Age of Geographical Discoveries (1400-1600) is a very special period in human history. In this two-century-old age, new continents were discovered, the world was traveled by the sea for the first time, trade began to be carried out on a world scale, overseas empires were established for the first time, and depending on all these, the accumulated or natural wealth of the newly discovered continents and regions was the economic, economic and economic wealth of another continent, Europe. commercial, scientific, technological etc. was transferred as a source for its development, and as a result, there have been developments whose effects have been reflected until today. Almost all major problems today have roots, in one degree or another, going back to the Age of Geographical Discovery. Thus, the scientific revolution, the development of capitalism,
It is Eric Erickson's work that provides rational and comprehensive explanations of this historical phase, based on the latest research, and reveals its special place in general human history. In this respect, it gains more importance especially in our country, where there are not many solid sources specific to the Age of Geographical Discoveries.

By 1600, only Australia, New Zealand, and the North Pacific remained as untapped or missing places. Many of the most important discoveries were made in a short period of time.
