Spice race poster by Matthew and Liam

WALT: Summarise information

In our spice race poster we learn't what the Europeans wanted gold, spices, tea and silks. The Europeans tried to go across the Arab counties to get to India which in those days were called the Indies. TheArab countries decided to tax the Europeans to make money. One of the sailors named Christopher Columbus tried to go all the way round the world to the Indies and discovered America.
