Spices and the Age of Discovery

The Age of Discovery, when European explorers uncovered whole new worlds, is well known, but what prompted this unprecedented push into the unknown? This animated video explores how spices provided the initial impetus for exploration and how one naughty dutchman opened the door for European colonial empires in Africa and Asia. The researching, writing, editing, art and animation for this video was done by myself.
