“The
discovery of America, and that of the passage to the East Indies by the
Cape of Good Hope, are the two greatest events recorded in the history

Think about why he and many other notables supported this statement,

Part 1:
1. create a thesis statement that is one to two (1-2) sentences long in which you:

1. State your thesis on how the discovery of America changed the world. Justify your response.

your first paragraph that presents your main idea to the reader. The
body of the essay organizes the material you gather and present in
support of your main idea. Keep in mind that a thesis is an
interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself. (Note: Please consult the Purdue OWL Website with tips on how to construct a proper thesis; the website can be found at: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/)

Part 2:
For the next part of this assignment you will create an outline of the
main points you want to address in this paper. This outline will serve
as the basis for your Assignment 1.2 Final Draft. (Note: Please use the
