The Age of Exploration

The Age of Exploration (15th-17th centuries) saw European nations map the world. Columbus, Magellan, and Vasco da Gama opened new trade routes. This era brought cultural exchange but also colonization, the slave trade, and the decimation of indigenous populations.

Magellan didn't actually circumnavigate the globe - he died in the Philippines. His crew completed the journey!
