Today's starter was: What are the reasons that one group of people will conquer another? Without looking back at you notes, list as many of Prince Henry's motives for exploration as you can?
We used this discussion of the motives Prince Henry to contrast with the motives of the Conquistadors - men who left from Spain to seek wealth, power, and glory in the New World. We specifically focused on Hernan Cortes and his conquering of the Aztecs.
We watched a video about this conquest and looked at his motivation, and the motivation of the groups he encountered, in depth.
