Christopher Columbus
|
Convinced Isabella and Ferdinand to fund his expedition. His goal was to reach the East Indies by sailing west, thus bypassing the around-Africa route that Portugal monopolized. He misjudged the size of the Earth, though, thinking it 1/3 the size of what it was. So, after 30 days or so at sea, when he struck land, he assumed he'd made it to the East Indies and therefore, mistook the people as "Indians". This spawned the following system: Europe would provide the market, capital, technology; Africa would provide the labor; The New World would provide the raw materials (gold, soil, lumber).
