Several factors hindered widespread exploration in the 1400s, including limited navigational technology and knowledge of the world's geography. The prevailing belief systems and the political fragmentation in Europe also created obstacles, as many nations were focused on internal conflicts and rivalries. Additionally, the lack of efficient ships capable of long sea voyages restricted exploration efforts until advancements in shipbuilding, such as the caravel, became prominent later in the century.

It helped increase the interest in exploration.
Portugal was the European country that began significant discovery and exploration in the 1400s. Under the leadership of Prince Henry the Navigator, Portuguese explorers advanced maritime technology and navigational techniques, leading to the exploration of the African coast and the Atlantic islands. This period laid the groundwork for later exploration and the establishment of sea routes to India and the Americas.

Several factors hindered widespread exploration in the 1400s, including limited navigational technology, such as inaccurate maps and inadequate ships for long voyages. Political fragmentation in Europe also created uncertainty and restricted funding for exploration. Additionally, the lack of knowledge about ocean currents and wind patterns made long-distance sea travel risky and daunting. These challenges were gradually overcome by advancements in navigation and technology, paving the way for the Age of Exploration.
Navigation and exploration
The Age of Exploration occurred primarily during the 15th and 16th centuries, starting around the late 1400s and extending into the early 1600s. This period marked a significant era of maritime exploration by European powers seeking new trade routes, territories, and resources around the world.
