The conventional answer to this is probably Portugal and Spain.

The Portuguese started maritime exploration first, actively trying to find an alternate route to India.
The Spanish began soon after with Columbus.

The English began exploring the seas in the late 15th century, somewhat before the Spanish, looking for better fishing grounds.

There were other people from other countries exploring at the same time, but the records of what they were doing have not been accepted by historians as well enough documented to be included as historic.
