The Age of Exploration

• The Age of Exploration or Age of Discovery began
  in the early 15th century and continued through
  the early 17th century. During this time period,
  European ships sailed the world searching for new
  trade routes and new business associates with
  which to strengthen capitalism in Europe, but
  they also were in search of trading goods such as
  gold, silver and spices. Rooted in new
  technologies and ideas growing out of the
  Renaissance, including advances in cartography,
  navigation, firepower and shipbuilding, Europeans
  discovered peoples and mapped lands previously
  unknown to them. The Age of Exploration impacted
  world history as it finished the transformation
  of Europe and Europeans from the Dark Ages into
  world travelers and began the transformation of
  the world from seven separate continents to a
  more aware, involved sphere with a much more
  inclusive worldwide scope.
