Answer:
bring Christianity to the East and the newly found lands.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Age of Discovery also known as the Age of Exploration spanned between the 15th to 17th centuries. This period was marked by the distant travels of the Europeans to the East, Africa, and the New World. Europe was just recovering from the Black Deaths which marked the 1340's. The Christian church was not severely affected by the Black Deaths. When Constatinople was defeated by the Ottoman empire in 1453, the Europeans embarked on a journey to find new trade routes to expand the sales of their spices, because the Ottoman empire made trading difficult.
The new routes extended to Africa and Asia. As they made these explorations they carried along with them the Christian religion. It was on one of these explorations by Christopher Columbus to the West that led to the discovery of the America's.
