The Age of Exploration saw European powers discover new trade routes and territories through maritime voyages. Historical eras during the Age of Exploration showcase the transformative period (roughly 1400-1700) when European maritime powers ventured beyond familiar waters to discover new trade routes and territories. Driven by economic ambition, religious zeal, and technological innovations like the caravel and improved navigation tools, explorers like Columbus, da Gama, Magellan, and Cabot charted previously unknown (to Europeans) regions. Portuguese expeditions around Africa established routes to Asian spice markets, while Spanish conquests in the Americas transferred unprecedented wealth to Europe. These voyages initiated the Columbian Exchange of plants, animals, and diseases, created the first truly global trade networks, and began centuries of European colonization that would reshape world history.
