In the 15th century, Portugal and Spain were the two European countries that dominated exploration. Portugal, under the leadership of figures like Prince Henry the Navigator, advanced maritime technology and established trade routes along the West African coast. Spain, fueled by the voyages of Christopher Columbus and others, sought new territories and wealth, leading to significant discoveries in the Americas. Together, these nations laid the groundwork for European colonial expansion and global trade networks.
During the 15th and 16th centuries, European nations benefited from technological advances such as the magnetic compass and the astrolabe. The magnetic compass allowed sailors to determine direction accurately, enhancing navigation across open waters. Meanwhile, the astrolabe enabled navigators to measure the altitude of celestial bodies, helping them determine their latitude at sea. These innovations significantly improved maritime exploration and facilitated long-distance voyages.
