European exploration in the Americas resulted in a decline of populations due to diseases brought to the New World to which the natives had no immunity. For Africans, this exploration saw the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade where millions were captured and resettled in the Americas.

Portugal was the European country that began significant discovery and exploration in the 1400s. Under the leadership of Prince Henry the Navigator, Portuguese explorers advanced maritime technology and navigational techniques, leading to the exploration of the African coast and the Atlantic islands. This period laid the groundwork for later exploration and the establishment of sea routes to India and the Americas.
Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492, which landed in the Americas, can be considered an exploration crossing into territory belonging to European nations. This event led to the subsequent colonization and exploitation of the indigenous peoples and resources of the Americas by European powers.
