The Ottoman Empire's power in the 15th and 16th centuries significantly influenced European exploration by controlling key trade routes between Europe and Asia, particularly through the Eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea. As the Ottomans expanded their territory, they monopolized access to valuable spices, silks, and other goods, prompting European nations to seek alternative routes to bypass Ottoman control. This need for new trade pathways fueled the Age of Discovery, leading to explorations by figures like Columbus and Vasco da Gama. Ultimately, the rise of European exploration was, in part, a response to the geopolitical and economic dynamics created by the Ottoman Empire's dominance.
