    Hello!

    In fact, after the capture of Constantinople in 1453, it was no longer possible to travel to India by the usual route. The rich countries, in search of spices and precious metals, wanted to continue to trade with India in order to buy those there.

    They then financed many trips in order to find a new route to get there. This funding allowed for many advances in navigation (more resistant boats, better mapping methods, etc.).

    In addition, at the time, there was a great will of the kingdoms to hold a large area of ​​territory in order to accumulate wealth, and therefore to accumulate power and prestige.


    Finally, the empires that embark on great explorations are gaining territory all over the globe. These conquered territories become what are called "colonies".


    I hope this will help you :)
