Answer 1

Answer:

During this period the Europeans began to explore and trade in Africa and Asia because they wanted to improve the economy of their country and were concerned about amassing wealth. Trading would fetch them profits and make them wealthy which was why they decided to do it.

They also felt the need to propagate the religion of Christianity to the regions mentioned as they were strangers to it at that point in time
