The Age of Exploration is a series of voyages during the 1400s, 1500s, and early 1600s when European explorers explored the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It began in Portugal, in the Iberian Peninsula to be exact. The overall cause of the exploration was the European desire to find ocean routes to East Asia/the Indies, the interest in spices, advancements in knowledge and technology, breaking the control that Muslims and Italians had on trade routes, and to spread Christianity.
