European exploration of the Middle East (study island)
The rise of the Ottoman Empire cut off any European direct connection with East Asia. Therefore, in order to continue trading with East Asia without trading with the Muslims, the Europeans would need to find other routes to East Asia. The search for these routes culminated with the Age of Exploration.
The first European power to explore East Asia was Portugal. Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama reached India in 1498, establishing a direct sea route from Europe to Asia. The Portuguese would later extend their exploration to other parts of East Asia, including Japan and China.
Exploration and settlement of the United States began in the late fifteenth century as a direct outcome of events in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. One of the most significant reasons was the Crusades (1099-1272), an unsuccessful Christian campaign to recapture the Holy Land (a region in the Middle East comprising parts of modern Israel, Jordan, and Egypt; today known as Palestine) from the Muslims (followers of the Islamic religion).=During four hundred years of interaction with Middle Eastern cultures Europeans were able to make significant advances in exploration based on information the Muslims provided. For instance, European civilizations drafted more accurate maps of the known world, built swifter ships, and charted sea routes by observing the Sun. Another important development was the discovery of luxury goods such as silks and spices that came from China and the East Indies (India and adjacent lands and islands in the Far East), which created a thriving market in Europe.=

Expansion of European rule and power was a significant interest in the Age of Discovery. They mostly explored the New World in search of passages that were said to lead to Asia and the East Indies, its products, and some simply to find adventure. :)
