It started in the 1600's with Portugal and Spain as the leaders of exploration
The religious crusading motive for exploration was strongest in Europe during the Middle Ages, particularly during the Crusades in the 11th to 13th centuries. This motive was fueled by a desire to reclaim the Holy Land and spread Christianity, leading to expeditions to the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
The countries that participated in the Age of Exploration were Spain, England, Portugal, France, and the Netherlands. Exploration of the New World included the discoveries of Christopher Columbus, the conquest of the Spanish conquistadors in Mexico and Peru, and the founding of the different colonies by the English.
