Many. But Europe itself was discovered by Asiatic tribes in neolithic times and thus Europeans were converted from their skin-wearing raw-meat eating state to civilizations that now enjoy the benefits of washing with soap and writing on paper, the former being a Chinese invention and the latter either Chinese or Egyptian. Once these pale barbarians were civilized to a certain extent, they embarked on their own explorations and are credited with discovering the Americas. But that's only because the Chinese, though they had paper, did not in great detail write down for worldwide posterity, the explorations of their own admirals and adventurers. The pale faces now think that they are solely responsible for all great discoveries.

The most obvious way that European explorers affected history was discovery. European explorers discovered a lot of the world like Australia, the Antarctic, America... for example. Without them we wouldn't know about the world. They would have helped with trade and discoveries as well. Like for trade they would discover new ways to get to different places so that people could trade with each other, like ways from getting from Europe to Asia faster by ship. They would help with discoveries too. If the Galapagos Islands hadn't been discovered would Darwin have been able to make his observations that led to the theory of evolution.
