Christopher Columbus sailed west when many believed he would fall off the earth. He discovered the Americas and made Spain very powerful. Many valuable plants were discovered in the New World and brought back to Europe.
The Columbian Exchange significantly altered standards of living in Africa, the Americas, and Europe by facilitating the transfer of crops, livestock, and technologies. In Europe, the introduction of new staple crops like potatoes and maize led to improved nutrition and population growth. Conversely, the Americas experienced devastating population declines due to diseases brought by Europeans, coupled with the exploitation of indigenous peoples. In Africa, the exchange intensified the slave trade, dramatically affecting social structures and economies.
The Europeans switched from finding a shorter passage to Asia, to exploitation/settlement of the Americas. (The exception to this was the search for a Northwest Passage, or short route to Asia thru the Arctic, by explorers such as Franklin.)

But then, France and Great Britain also became major players. In the end, Great Britain was the most powerful country. So throughout the period of exploration, power shifted from Spain to Great Britain.
