By the late 1400s, Portugal's Prince Henry was looking for a way to expand Portuguese territory and gain access to the lucrative spice trade of the Far East. Vasco da Gama was at the forefront of this pursuit, leading three major expeditions to lands that Europeans had never explored. Topics include - Vasco da Gama's early life - Da Gama's journey around the southern tip of Africa through the Cape of Good Hope - his encounters with the people of Mombasa and Mozambique - his arrival in India and his attempts to dominate trade there - Vasco da Gama's legacy, including the development of Portuguese spice plantations in India and New World colonies - Portugal's role in the slave trade of Africa Teacher's guide available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katharine Bailey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0778724573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780778724575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crabtree Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.58h x 8.34w x 0.12d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e114951 \/ Vasco Da Gama: Quest for the Spice Trade\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Katharine Bailey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149194195199,"sku":"9780778724575","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_630895b9-9a55-45b3-99da-f27e87f14847.jpg?v=1688455344","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vasco-da-gama-katharine-bailey-9780778724575","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
