These countries include England, Spain, and Portugal. After contact had first been made with people on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, the first stock exchange was set up in 1538, which represented a steady economy and businesses that could be trusted to continue success within the companies. Along with the new businesses and technology, through international trade, new products were introduced to Europe such as tobacco and potatoes.

That was until Spanish navigators Juan Díaz de Solís and Vicente Yáñez Pinzón touched on part of the Honduran coast in 1508 and devoted most of their efforts to exploring the area. After the Spanish discovery and speedy conquest, Honduras became part of Spain's large empire in the New World. The Spanish ruled Honduras for about 3 centuries. Honduras became a state in the United Provinces of Central America in 1821 and an independent republic with the fall of the union in 1840.

This continuity of sea trade can be seen throughout 650-1750, rising and falling at times. With the rise of Islam and the Mongols, overseas trade slowed because of the importance of the Silk Road. As the Mongols declined sea trade became important again. The merchants of the Indian Ocean were used to the highest quality of products.

While the English colonies were growing rapidly along the Atlantic seaboard, French fur traders and explorers were venturing deep into the heart of North America. It could be only a matter of time before the rivalries between France and England elsewhere in the world would be sharply reflected in a final struggle for the ownership of the North American continent. the primary differences between the French and English Colonization policies are the following: the French colonies treated the natives with great diplomacy, whereas the British colonies treated the natives as savages and lesser creatures. The French approach to colonization was based on integrating its colonial people into a “Greater France" through cultural assimilation and administrative centralization. on the other hand, British Indirect rule was a system where external military and tax control was operated by the British, while almost every other aspect of life was left to local pre-colonial aristocracies who had sided with the British during the conquest.
China and Portugal during the Age of Exploration When the Chinese finally managed to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty during the Middle Ages, foreign interests increased. With the support of Ming Emperor Yung-Lo, China pursued expansion and trade. Zheng-He, a Chinese Muslim, set out to India, Persia and Africa from 1405 to 1433. Around that time, Portugal commenced their expansion voyages. Despite the fact that the Chinese had a larger population, Portugal was the one who went on to become the dominant nation in the Indian Ocean during the Age of Exploration.
The New World Old World Anthony Nnana ENG/491 March 5, 2012 Michael Briggs, PhD Introduction In the early years of the 1400s Europe had started developing and expanding I economic activities. By 1492, explorations to expand and find new frontiers had begun. In 1492, Christopher Columbus along with dozens of Europeans sailed across the Atlantic ocean to the new World. The voyagers were amazed at what they found: the people and their culture, the land and its beauty. The stories of Colon, one of the Indians that Columbus took back to Spain showed that the discoveries were mutual rather than one sided.
The result of the new bacteria, animal, and plant life mixing caused devastating effects on the Americas and Europeans together. The results of this exchange altered both regions historically forever. Christopher Columbus, Cristoforo Colombo, was born in Genoa in 1451 to a humble family. Cristoforo had soon learned the classical learning that had been recently rediscovered and made available in printed form. He also mastered geography, and most likely while traveling the coast of West Africa, he became obsessed with traveling West across the Atlantic Ocean to reach Cahty, China.
