The Age of Exploration marked a pivotal era in global trade and the spread of Christianity. Advances in navigation technology, such as maps and the compass, facilitated European voyages. Key figures like Bartholomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama expanded Portuguese trade routes, establishing colonies like Goa in Asia. Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan further explored the Americas and circumnavigated the globe. While exploration led to wealth and the growth of port cities, it also resulted in devastating consequences for indigenous populations, including the spread of diseases like smallpox.
