The Age of Exploration: Motivations, Technologies, and the Treaty of Tordesillas

The Age of Exploration marked a significant period where explorers sought "God, Glory, and Gold." The Treaty of Tordesillas, signed in 1494, established a line of demarcation through the Atlantic Ocean, dividing territories between Spain and Portugal. East of the line belonged to Portugal, while the West was claimed by Spain. Technological advancements played a crucial role, including the caravel, improved cartography, the astrolabe, and the magnetic compass. This era also saw the rise of conquistadors and the effects of the Columbian Exchange on global settlements.
