Answer:
Yes exploration was worth it
Explanation:
The era of exploration was a period of new discovery.
Even though this era came with several negative changes such as spread of diseases, slavery, imperialism, loss of land. It also has a lot of positives which in my opinion justifies this era.
The discovery that was made during the period of exploration had tremendous effect on economic, social and political situations in many areas of the world. Trade and industry experienced a tremendous growth, ideas were birthed and exchanged as well as technology, plants and animals. Also there was the discovery of new routes, like routes to India and the americas. This age brought about advances in navigation which was used by future travellers.
