<h2>Answer:</h2>

The Age of Exploration (also called the Age of Discovery) began in the 1400s and continued through the 1600s. It was a period of time when the European nations began exploring the world. They discovered new routes to India, much of the Far East, and the Americas. The Age of Exploration took place at the same time as the Renaissance.

Why explore?

Outfitting an expedition could be expensive and risky. Many ships never returned. So why did the Europeans want to explore? The simple answer is money. Although, some individual explorers wanted to gain fame or experience adventure, the main purpose of an expedition was to make money.

How did expeditions make money?

Expeditions made money primarily by discovering new trade routes for their nations. When the Ottoman Empire captured Constantinople in 1453, many existing trade routes to India and China were shut down. These trade routes were very valuable as they brought in expensive products such as spices and silk. New expeditions tried to discover oceangoing routes to India and the Far East.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

the answer is The scientific method proved the validity of reason over religious dogmatism and superstitions that usually prevailed"

The Enlightenment philosophers, such as Locke, Montesquieu or Rosseau. introduced ideas that challenged, and ended up derrocating, the power structures of the Old Regime. They promoted reason and scientifically-proved premises and hypothesis over religious dogmas and superstitions, based solely on obscure and unproved ideas imposed by privileged social groups to control those that they considered inferior.

The scientific method (observation, collecting data, testing, etc) was used to provide evidence to prove the validity of the ideas developed by this new generation of philosophers.
