The Era of European Exploration, spanning from the late 15th to the early 17th centuries, was characterized by European powers seeking new trade routes and territories, driven by a desire for wealth, resources, and the spread of Christianity. Explorers like Columbus, Magellan, and Vasco da Gama embarked on voyages that led to the discovery of the Americas, sea routes to Asia, and the circumnavigation of the globe. This period resulted in significant cultural exchanges, the establishment of colonial empires, and, unfortunately, the exploitation and devastating impact on indigenous populations. The era fundamentally reshaped global trade and initiated a new age of globalization.
