Why did the discovery of goods in Asia launch the age of exploration?

The discovery of new goods in Asia, such as spices and silk, sparked the desire for direct trade routes with Asia. This led European explorers to search for alternative sea routes to bypass the monopolies held by Arab and Italian merchants. The resulting age of exploration was driven by the economic potential of trading directly with Asia.

How did Portugual take the leading role for the Age of Exploration?

Portugal was the first to launch large-scale voyages of exploration. Prince Henry of Portugal, also known as Henry the Navigator, was the son of King John I. He is credited for exploring, but this was not the case. He was a patron of exploration and sent expeditions west to islands in the Atlantic and south to explore the West coast of Africa. Bortolomeu Dias became the first man to sail around the southern tip of Africa, thus accomplishing Prince Henry's goal at a new sea route. Vasco de Gama was sent to explore India, and after that, more expeditions were sent. HOPE THIS HELPED. (:
