Most European countries sent out may ships for exploration such as Spain, Portuguese, Italy, France, and England. The most successful country for exploration on ship would probably be Spain for their huge discovery of the New World that was accidental trying to find a new trade route to India.Which made sense since southern Europe was the busiest in exploration ships. Now most exploration would either have to success or fail, when a ship was attacked or lost in sea it would be a failure and the country who sponsored the ship would lose a lot of money. If the exploration was a success and they found a different land to conquer or no mans land then they would not directly receive money but gain wealth over time economically helping the country. Their purpose to sending ships was to gain land when for explorations which lead to wealth. Back then the world was a stranger to them and finding more land was like a new science and meeting other cultures was valued highly. New discoveries caused almost jelousy throughout different countries making them follow the country who made the new discovery trying to win their discovery or beating it. The countries who were discovered found them strange and either welcomed them or threw them out which ended in war which eventually lead to the foreigners winning.
In my opinion the three most important explorers of the Age of Exploration would have to be Christopher Columbas and Italian Spanish explorer who discovered the new world by accident and opened the door for a whole new world of possibilities. The second explorer would have to be Marco Polo who made huge discoveries and retrieved a lot of new information from Asia and China, he was Italian. The third explorer would be Vasco Da Gama whom found new trade routes to the east, he made a huge impact by making transporting a lot faster.

The decline of Rome had many reasons. Already it was at decline when the empire split into two. With two emperors ruling the east and the west it was difficult to have them both unite making it weaker and weaker.  First of all they had a huge military fall. After the roman military came back from their battle the soldiers came back with disease which started their fall in numbers which made the military weak and could no longer fight as good as they use to. After the death of Emperor Alexander Severus the whole Roman Western empire went into a civil war fighting over who would lead this western empire.

On top of so many wars in Rome alone they also had barbaric people like Atilla attacking Rome and had a result of their cities being sacked. The western Empire was way to big to be controlled while the eastern part of the roman empire was smaller and easier to control with more of a population and less fighting over power it was calmer than in Western Rome. As a result of all the fighting they needed to raise tax just so they could feed the army who was not only small in numbers but weak from all the fighting. All the people  in western Rome couldn't pay any of the tax and soon the people went into poverty. Western Rome fell apart by 476 AD.

At the near end of its decline the lifestyle really started to change. The people were very poor and the health was bad. "Every man for themselves" in a way.  Along with no government the people in western Rome fell into the Dark Ages. When Rome fell so did their technology and when barbaric people took over parts of lands they created villages which now became of their lifestyle.

For an ordinary muslim life would probably be easier than it was. With all these new discoveries it was easier for them to get by. All the new ideas brought to the table made it possible for them to learn things learned from other people. In their work they'd find it useful that a new discovery could make their job simpler in a way and get more done. This was probably more of a cultural impact on history because wit involved affecting the people more than anything making it so cultural.

A scholar would find that his lifetime during this time would be much simpler than a life on a scholar some fifty years back. At this time their were new discovery's and ides and more things were acceptable. They would find that when these people brought more books from different parts of the world their knoledge expanded making the scholars wiser. All the contributions the muslims made made it so much easier for the scholars just to show up and learn. This had an impact on more cultural history because it was a cultural decision all over the muslim empire.

The relationship between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity

Both Islam and Christianity originated from Judaism having the same common idea that there was one god:  monotheistic. Though each religion had distinct perspective on their God. They all share a familiar relationship with their God and also the story on how earth was created is similar.  Though there main differences is that the christians believe the messiah has come (Jesus Christ) while the jews believe that the messiah has yet to come and the muslims believe that Jesus doesn't have the right to forgive the peoples sins only the god all knowing does.

Muhammad lived in Makkah were the main religion was polytheistic and people from all over the world came to worship there. Makkah was considered a holy city because of the temples and shrines they built there. Muhammad lived in a very rich city were it was known to be the crossroads of trading and gained their wealth from trading. Back then there was no government only clans and tribes were each clans and tribe listened to their ruler, etc.

Mountains

Enviorment: rocky and high in the atmosphere the mountains are extremely dangerous and the climate is very different from the rest of the penninsula. Winds from the Indian ocean bring up to twenty inches of rain to the mountains. It keeps the mountains cool and in the winter only frost develops while when it rains riverbeds fill up with water.
