Dvinal [7]4 years ago
4 0
Many nations wanted to find the U.S passage, because they wanted to find a quicker route to Asia. They thought going around Africa was way too long and going across the Mediterranean Sea was too expensive and risky. They thought that sailing west would get them to Asia in no time. In reality, it was North America and they would have to go much farther in order to get to Asia, but they did not know that back then.

So, it was all political...more power, more money, more independence from king or Church. The papacy...completely usurped every royal household snd parliament it could should they decide something for their country and subjects that went against its teachings.

 The church interfered in all aspects of nation states affairs,taxes,wedfings,religious …everything and they grew tired of its meddling and took to luthers ideas.
