The era of European exploration is generally accepted to have begun in the mid-15th century and lasted until the early 17th century. During this period, a number of European countries, including Spain, Portugal, France, and England, began to explore and colonize portions of the Americas and the Pacific. Some of the major milestones of this era include: 1492 - Christopher Columbus voyages to the Americas for Spain 1498 - Vasco da Gama rounds the Cape of Good Hope for Portugal 1519 - Hernan Cortes conquers the Aztec Empire for Spain 1520 - Ferdinand Magellan's expedition circumnavigates the globe for Spain 1607 - Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas, is foundedSo, the era of European exploration began in the mid-15th century and ended in the early 17th century.
The Inca Empire was weakened by European exploration and colonization through introduced diseases, warfare, and the conquest led by Spanish conquistadors like Francisco Pizarro. These factors resulted in the downfall of the Inca Empire and the eventual colonization of the region by the Spanish.
It pretty well destroyed the Aztec Empire, and enriched the Spanish.
Malinche, also known as La Malinche or Doña Marina, played a significant role as an interpreter, advisor, and intermediary for Hernan Cortes during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. She was instrumental in helping facilitate communication between the Spanish and indigenous peoples, which ultimately led to the fall of the Aztec Empire. Malinche's complex legacy represents the cultural and historical intersection of colonialism, indigenous resistance, and identity in Latin America.
The exploration and conquering practiced by the European countries in the Americas could be described as a competition/ a race between the countries because all the countries wanted the best empire and to do that they had to have a "race" to get land. (Meaning they had some disputes) The European countries wanted the biggest baddest empire, so they can become more powerful against the other countries.

The rise of the Ottoman Empire cut off any European direct connection with East Asia. Therefore, in order to continue trading with East Asia without trading with the Muslims, the Europeans would need to find other routes to East Asia. The search for these routes culminated with the Age of Exploration.
Hernán Cortés was the most successful explorer in finding the wealth the Spanish hoped for during the Era of European Exploration. He conquered the Aztec Empire in present-day Mexico and brought back vast amounts of gold and silver to Spain.
