The source of riches for European traders primarily stemmed from the lucrative trade in spices, silks, and precious metals, particularly during the Age of Exploration. European merchants sought direct access to Asian markets, which were rich in exotic goods that were highly valued in Europe. Additionally, the transatlantic slave trade and the exploitation of colonies in the Americas contributed significantly to the wealth of European traders. This quest for resources and trade routes fueled exploration and colonization efforts across the globe.
The transatlantic slave trade involved the transportation of enslaved Africans from West Africa to the Americas. European traders would bring goods to Africa to exchange for captives, who were then shipped to the Americas to be sold as slaves. The profits from the sale of enslaved Africans were used to purchase commodities, such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton, which were then shipped back to Europe. This triangular trade route connected Africa, the Americas, and Europe, with each leg of the journey serving to generate profit for the merchants and traders involved.

The voyage demonstrated to European traders the vast potential for new trade routes and resources outside of Europe, particularly in Asia and the Americas. It revealed the wealth of goods, such as spices, silk, and precious metals, that could be accessed through exploration and colonization. This ignited an era of increased competition among European powers for trade dominance and territorial expansion, ultimately reshaping global trade dynamics.
Spain and Portugal started colonizing the Americas around 1500.
