Yes, after 1453, Europeans increasingly sought to travel to India and China by sea rather than overland routes. The fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire disrupted traditional land trade routes, prompting European powers to explore maritime paths for direct access to lucrative spices and goods. This led to significant advancements in navigation and the eventual establishment of sea routes around Africa and across the Atlantic. The desire for wealth and trade drove this shift in exploration strategies.
