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.

Ah, isn't that fascinating? There was an explorer named Christopher Columbus who claimed land for both Spain and Portugal during his voyages to the Americas. It's incredible how explorers like him played a role in shaping the world we live in today. Just like a painter creating a beautiful landscape, explorers leave their mark on history with their discoveries.
