European exploration in the 15th to 17th centuries was characterized by a quest for new trade routes, the desire for wealth, and the spread of Christianity. Advances in navigation and shipbuilding technology, such as the compass and caravel, enabled long sea voyages. Additionally, the rivalry among European powers fueled competition for territory and resources. This era also marked the beginning of significant cultural exchanges and the impact of colonization on indigenous populations.
