Exploration and Trade During the Renaissance

As the first research question of ACT 1 states, "Antonio is a business entrepreneur who spends large amounts of money buying merchandise intended for resale abroad. " This website, http://www.learner.org/interactives/renaissance/exploration.html, provides a concise summary of the exploration and trade during the Renaissance. Also, if you go to this part of the website, http://www.learner.org/interactives/renaissance/spicetrade/, you can test your trading skills in this interactive game where you become a spice trader and an owner of your very own ship. :)

The links that you posted are great! It was a good idea to post some information relating to trade relating the the Renaissance, and why Antonio is usually a stressful, bitter character.

And of course, the game itself is pretty engaging.
