U.S. Exports to Costa Rica. When Christopher Columbus "discovered" North America, he was actually looking for a shortcut to India. For centuries, the great powers have sought out, carved out, and fought over trade routes. Research a historical trade route, such as the Khyber Pass, the Silk Road, or the Amber Road. You can use an online encyclopedia, such as Encarta, or key in the search words "trade route." Write a brief history of the trade route and print out or draw a map of it. What articles does the U.S export to Costa Rica? Draw a simple map showing the areas where the articles originate.
