The main cause of Portugal and Spain to begin the Age of Discovery  (Age of Exploration) in XV century is search for the new trade route to spice-laden East due to fall of Orthodox Christian Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire. Old trade routes being shuttered was great damage for Iberian merchants.

When the Byzantine empire fell to the Ottomans, the route to trading with the middle east and the a bit further east went down the drain because the Ottomans wanted to control it all. They often forbid others from trading or took large amounts of money as tax for the trade. Also, the Catholics didn't want their people going there and trading with Ottomans so that was another obstacle. This is why they decided that it was necessary to find a new route to reach India, for example, which didn't involve any dealing with Arabs or Turks. This was much more cost effective because they could trade directly with eastern people without middlemen.

patriot [66]

The Kingdom of Kush or Kush (<span>/<span>kʊʃ</span>, <span>kʌʃ</span>/</span>) was an ancient Nubian kingdom situated on the confluences of the Blue Nile, White Nile and River Atbara in what is now the Republic of Sudan.

The Kushite era of rule in Nubia was established after the Bronze Age collapse and the disintegration of the New Kingdom of Egypt, and it was centered at Napata in its early phase. After King Kashta ("the Kushite") invaded Egypt in the 8th century BC, the Kushite emperors ruled as pharaohs of the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt for a century, until they were expelled by the Assyrians under the rule of Esarhaddon.
