How did it affect the world: During this time period this affected the world in several different ways. One way that it affected the world was the trade. The discovery of the americas played a big role in the triangle trade. Americas role in the triangle trade was importing slaves and exporting the goods that the slaves produced. Another way The idea that there was more to the world was it sparked an exploration frenzy. Once it was confirmed that The land that Vespucci claimed was a new continent fleets of explorers sailed across the Atlantic ocean to go and explore this new land that had just recently been found. This not only affected the world back in the early fifteen hundreds, but it also affects our world today. If Amerigo Vespucci had not claimed that this was a new continent it could have changed the entire course of history. Yes, another person would have eventually found out and we would still be here today, but it may not have been claimed for another ten of fifteen years. The way this affected the world would have been technology would have been pushed back ten to fifteen years later. Now we would have cars that get sixty miles to the gallon and the I Phone 16.
