Europe was the continent that was mostly involved in the Age of Exploration, as European nations embarked on voyages to seek new trade routes, wealth, and territories in the late 15th to 17th centuries. Prominent explorers like Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan were from European countries like Spain, Portugal, and England.
The English explorer who sailed in 1497 and claimed the New World for England was John Cabot. He embarked on his voyage under the commission of King Henry VII and is believed to have landed on the coast of North America, possibly in present-day Newfoundland. Cabot's exploration marked one of the earliest European claims to territories in the Americas. His journey laid the groundwork for later English exploration and colonization.
He is the best playwright in the world for countless reasons. For instance, he wrote about conflicts and behaviours that still exist today. I am not British, so I am not biased.
The first explorer to sail across the Atlantic for England was John Cabot, an Italian navigator and explorer. In 1497, he embarked on his voyage under the commission of King Henry VII of England, reaching the coast of North America, likely present-day Newfoundland. Cabot's expedition marked England's first exploration of the New World and laid the groundwork for future English claims in North America.
