How did European explorers affect history?
The most obvious way that European explorers affected history was discovery. European explorers discovered a lot of the world like Australia, the Antarctic, America... for example. Without them we wouldn't know about the world. They would have helped with trade and discoveries as well. Like for trade they would discover new ways to get to different places so that people could trade with each other, like ways from getting from Europe to Asia faster by ship. They would help with discoveries too. If the Galapagos Islands hadn't been discovered would Darwin have been able to make his observations that led to the theory of evolution.
Why did explorers need to claim the land they found?
3 main things- GOLD, GLORY, and GOD. GOLD- the explorers wanted to get natural resources like gold and silvers for both themselves and their countries.

GOD- the explorers believed that it was their right and duty to conquer other land and spread Christianity. They thought God had meant for them to do this. Hope this helped! =D
