Exploration began as early as the 15th century when European nations sought to expand their territories and trade routes. Motivations included economic gain, spreading Christianity, and the pursuit of knowledge. The Age of Exploration was driven by advancements in technology, such as improved navigation tools and ship design, and the desire for new trade routes to Asia.
Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal is often credited with initiating the Age of Exploration in the 15th century. He sponsored many expeditions, encouraged exploration of the coast of Africa, and supported the development of navigational technology.
The Age of Renaissance laid the groundwork for the Age of Exploration by sparking a surge in intellectual curiosity, artistic expression, and technological advancements, especially in areas like cartography and navigation. The Renaissance emphasis on humanism and individualism also contributed to a spirit of exploration and discovery. This cultural and intellectual climate, combined with the economic motives of trade and colonization, propelled European powers into the Age of Exploration.
