How did new sea routes lead to an expanded European presence in Africa?

New sea routes, established during the Age of Exploration, allowed European powers to navigate around Africa, facilitating direct trade with Asia and the Americas. These routes enabled easier access to Africa's resources, such as gold, ivory, and later, slaves, prompting increased European exploration and colonization.
