It was during the 15th century that a new class of merchants, ship-builders, tradesmen and others appeared - living in and around Europe's old medieval towns. This class was to ally itself with the monarchs of Europe, and nothing illustrates this merchant-monarch alliance better than the career of Christopher Columbus. A son of Genoa and a member of the new aspiring class, Columbus' ultimate success came as a direct result of having forged an unparalleled alliance with Isabella and Ferdinand, the Catholic monarchs of Spain. Although there were some attempts on the part of China to extend its influence westward around India before the 15th century, almost all subsequent efforts at discovery of far-away lands and seas have been made by western explorers. This is why there has been such an overwhelming European bias to the traditional commemoration of the Age of Discovery of the 15th and 16th centuries. The explorations of this time led to a worldwide expansion of European power in many ways. As always, it was the victor who wrote the history of the age, and the people and countries that made the discoveries were the main beneficiaries of the new wealth and glory. The power and wealth of these ancient Zimbabwe Ruins were partly founded on its strategic position on the edge of the Central Plateau. Grain and other crops were produced on the middle and high velds that were relatively well favoured by the often-unpredictable rains, while large cattle herds were tended in the low veldt grasslands and mopane woodlands.
