The voyages of exploration during the Age of Discovery were primarily sponsored by European monarchs and governments, seeking new trade routes and territories. Notable sponsors included the Spanish Crown, which funded Christopher Columbus's expeditions, and Portugal's monarchy, which supported explorers like Vasco da Gama and Henry the Navigator. Additionally, private investors and merchant companies also played a significant role in financing these voyages.
