Portuguese explorers significantly expanded European trade in the 15th and 16th centuries by establishing sea routes to Africa, India, and the East Indies, which opened up new markets for spices, gold, and other valuable goods. Their pioneering efforts in navigation and maritime technology allowed them to dominate trade in the Indian ocean and beyond. The establishment of trading posts and colonies facilitated the exchange of goods and culture, ultimately leading to the rise of a global trade network. This laid the groundwork for the Age of Exploration and subsequent European colonial expansion.
