European Exploration: Motives, Accomplishments, and Key Explorers

European exploration during the Age of Discovery led to significant territorial claims and cultural exchanges. Motivated by the pursuit of gold, the spread of Christianity, and the desire for national superiority, explorers faced numerous obstacles, including fear of the unknown and limited navigational tools. Key figures like Samuel de Champlain, who founded Quebec, and LaSalle, who named the Mississippi River, opened new territories in North America. The exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies transformed both the continent and the native populations.
