Portugal was the first European country to embark on extensive expansionist policies during the Age of Exploration in the 15th century. Under the leadership of Prince Henry the Navigator, Portugal established a network of trade routes along the west coast of Africa and was instrumental in the early exploration of the Atlantic Ocean. This laid the groundwork for later colonial empires in Europe, particularly in Spain, England, and France.
The expansionist activities of the sixteenth century primarily involved European powers, particularly Spain and Portugal, exploring and colonizing vast territories around the globe. This era saw the establishment of overseas empires driven by the pursuit of wealth, religious conversion, and territorial claims, with notable events such as Christopher Columbus's voyage to the Americas in 1492 and Vasco da Gama's route to India. The period was marked by the exploitation of resources, the spread of European culture, and significant interactions—often violent—with indigenous populations. Additionally, other nations like France and England began to join the race for exploration and colonization later in the century.

Initially, there were trade relationships and alliances, but these quickly turned to conflict as European colonization expanded. First Nations people faced displacement, disease, and cultural disruption due to European expansionist policies.
