3. The Age of Exploration The Age of Exploration or Age of Discovery began in the early 15th century and continued through the early 17th century. During this time period, European ships sailed the world searching for new trade routes and new business associates with which to strengthen capitalism in Europe, but they also were in search of trading goods such as gold, silver and spices. Rooted in new technologies and ideas growing out of the Renaissance, including advances in cartography, navigation, firepower and shipbuilding, Europeans “discovered” peoples and mapped lands previously unknown to them. The Age of Exploration impacted world history as it finished the transformation of Europe and Europeans from the Dark Ages into world travelers and began the transformation of the world from seven separate continents to a more aware, involved sphere with a much more inclusive worldwide scope.
