Question

Imagine you are a European explorer in the 1400s. Do you think you would be most motivated by religious conversion, global market opportunities, or competition with other European nations? Why?

Answer 1

Answer: It is an excellent opportunity for the global market

Step-by-step explanation:

In terms of the 1400s, motivation would come mainly from religious conversion. The 14th century is known as the second to last century of what was called the Middle Ages; in those ages, people took a deep interest in religious conversion because it’s where most powers came from. People also during this time manipulated others into doing things and putting them in the name of God.

Answer 2

global market opportunities

Step-by-step explanation:

Most European explorers of the 1400s, like Columbus or Ferdinand Magellan, were sailors working either for private merchant companies, or for nation states seeking new trade opportunities.

For example, Columbus sailed west looking for a new sea route from Europe to Asia, since communications between the two continents had been made difficult by Ottoman dominance over the Eastern Mediterranean, and Persian dominance over Central Asia. Columbus, in fact, died without having realized that he had landed in the Americas.
