In the 1400s, Europeans began exploring due to advancements in navigation technology, such as the astrolabe and improved ship designs like the caravel, which allowed for longer sea voyages. The desire for new trade routes to access spices and luxury goods from Asia, particularly after the fall of Constantinople, also motivated exploration. Additionally, the rise of strong centralized monarchies provided the financial backing and political support necessary for exploration ventures.
