I'll tell you what it is.......
During the Age of Exploration, Europeans were most interested in regions like the Americas, Asia, and Africa. They sought resources such as spices, precious metals, and new territories for colonization and trade. The discovery of routes to these regions had significant impacts on global trade and the spread of European influence.
The 1400s marked the beginning of the first global age because of significant events like the Age of Exploration, which saw explorers like Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama sailing to new continents. This period also saw increased global trade, cultural exchanges, and the beginning of European colonization in the Americas, Africa, and Asia, connecting different parts of the world in unprecedented ways.
After Europeans learned that the Earth was round, they discovered new trade routes, like the sea route to Asia, led by explorers such as Christopher Columbus. This understanding also paved the way for advancements in navigation and cartography, which allowed for more accurate mapping of the world.
Europeans overcame transportation barriers posed by physical geography through the development of extensive road networks, canals, and railways, which facilitated movement over challenging landscapes. Innovations in engineering, such as the construction of bridges and tunnels, allowed for more efficient routes. Additionally, advancements in navigation and maritime technology improved sea transportation, connecting inland regions to coastal trade routes. These developments collectively enhanced trade and communication across diverse terrains.
