The capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire in 1453 marked the end of Christian Byzantine rule and prompted Europeans to seek new trade routes to Asia, as traditional overland pathways were now controlled by the Ottomans. This shift spurred maritime exploration, as nations like Portugal and Spain aimed to find alternative routes to access valuable spices and goods.
