The 15th century saw a surge in exploration driven by several factors, including the desire for new trade routes, particularly to access valuable spices and goods from Asia. The rise of powerful nation-states, such as Portugal and Spain, fueled competition and ambition to expand empires and spread Christianity. Advances in navigation technology, such as the magnetic compass and improved ship designs, also made long sea voyages more feasible. Additionally, the Renaissance spirit of curiosity and discovery inspired many explorers to seek new lands and knowledge.
