Best Answer

The rise of nation states didn't make sea exploration possible. In ancient times there was a lot of sea exploration; As one example, Greeks and Romans sailed through Mediterranean and on the Atlantic, to Britain and even to Scandinavia.

What made it possible to sail over the Atlantic Ocean was the invention of new kind of ships, like caravels. With new ships, Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, Ferdinand Magellan and others made their famous sea explorations throughout the globe.

The rise of nation states made the situation in Europe suitable for overseas explorations, since they were constantly warring which each other. Then they found the new world and other new colonies and trading-partners, which brought huge fortunes to the nations that founded the sea explorations.
