The Age of Exploration gradually ended due to a combination of factors, including the exhaustion of new territories to discover, the establishment of permanent colonies, and the rising costs of exploration. Additionally, shifting priorities toward trade and economic expansion in existing territories, along with increased competition among European powers, shifted focus away from exploration. The Enlightenment also fostered a new emphasis on science and reason, leading to a decline in the romanticism of exploration. As nations consolidated their empires, the need for further exploration diminished.
