Age of exploration brought about discoveries and advances. It is also called the age of discovery and it began in the fifteenth century and lasted till seventeenth century.
Step-by-step explanation:
During the early fifteenth century, the Europeans began to explore the world by discovering new sea routes for the purpose of trade relations. Explorers discovered the areas such as Africa and America and brought back that knowledge to Europe. Massive wealth were accrued due to the trading of spices and metals to the Asian continent.
New foods, plants and animals were exchanged between the colonies and Europe. Indigenous people were decimated by Europeans. The age of exploration stood as a major stepping stone of geographic knowledge. These explorations also introduced a whole new world of flora and fauna to Europeans. Age of discovery bound the Europeans together for their massive knowledge of geography which they have gathered out of exploration.
