MAKE A PREDICTION:
In the early 1400s, the Europeans started to explore outside of the
Mediterranean region. After 1453, that exploration became even more significant
and far reaching. What reasons would the Europeans have to start expanding
their kingdoms?
The Europeans reasons of spreading and colonizing new lands is because some people were
getting agitated and upset about overpopulated the place was and the government couldnt
feed the rising population. So the government sent a bunch of colonies to different parts of the
world to colonize, not realizing that there were other people living there too.
