Read the Paragraph:
There were many reasons for the European Age of Exploration. A spirit of inquiry encouraged by the Renaissance and the conquest of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Turks in 1453 which temporarily cut Europe off from trade with East Asia encouraged Europeans to search for new trade routes to Asia. In addition, monarchs created incentives for explorers to find all-water passages to Asia. Believing that by controlling trade with Asia a nation became powerful, monarchs invested time and money in exploration. Ever since the Crusades and Marco Polo’s reports of Asian delicacies, European interest in Asian goods like spices, perfumes, and silks had greatly increased. Of course, better navigation skills and instruments, like the compass and the moveable rudder, allowed Europeans to sail farther than ever before. Finally, Christian rulers in Europe wanted to spread their religion through overseas exploration. All of these motives led to an explosion of exploration.
