The Age of Exploration began
The Crusades played a significant role in the exploration process by fostering increased contact between Europe and the East, which led to the exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies. They heightened European interest in trade routes and the wealth of Asia, particularly after the exposure to new spices, textiles, and knowledge about navigation. This desire for direct access to Eastern markets ultimately spurred explorations and the quest for new trade routes, paving the way for the Age of Exploration. Additionally, the cultural interactions and alliances formed during the Crusades contributed to a broader worldview that encouraged further exploration.
