Conditions in Europe during the era of transatlantic voyages were often marked by poverty, political instability, and social upheaval, prompting many to seek better opportunities across the ocean. The transatlantic voyage itself was grueling, with overcrowded ships, limited sanitation, and inadequate food and water, leading to high mortality rates due to disease and malnutrition. Passengers endured harsh weather and cramped quarters, with many spending weeks in uncomfortable conditions. Despite these challenges, the promise of a new life in the Americas motivated countless individuals to undertake this perilous journey.

The voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492 led to the widespread awareness of the Americas in Europe, marking the beginning of the Age of Exploration. It initiated extensive European colonization and exploitation of the New World, profoundly impacting indigenous populations through disease, displacement, and cultural changes. Columbus's journey also paved the way for transatlantic trade, including the exchange of goods, people, and ideas between Europe and the Americas, known as the Columbian Exchange.
