Age of Discovery
Age of Exploration
The Age of Discovery refers to the period primarily from the 15th to the 17th centuries when European explorers sailed across oceans in search of new trade routes, resources, and territories. Driven by advancements in navigation, shipbuilding, and a desire for wealth and power, this era resulted in extensive global exploration, colonization, and cultural exchange – often with profound consequences for both Europe and the regions they encountered.
