The Age of Discovery, also known as the Age of Exploration, was a period in history starting in the early 15th century and continuing into the early 17th century during which Europeans engaged in intensive exploration of the world, establishing direct contacts with Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania and mapping the planet. Scientific matters at this time were of little interest as exploration was mostly commercially and politically motivated. Captivated by the lure of gold, silver and spices, Portuguese and Spanish sailors pioneered new trade routes to the Indies.

  • L'Âge des découvertes, également connu comme l'Âge de l'exploration, est une période de l'Histoire allant du début du XVe au XVIIe siècle pendant laquelle les nations européennes se lancent dans une exploration intensive du monde, établissent des contacts directs avec l'Afrique, les Amériques, l'Asie et l'Océanie, et cartographient la planète. Les aspects scientifiques étaient à l'époque secondaires et les voyages d'exploration principalement motivés par des intérêts économiques. En quête d'or, d'argent et d'épices, les navigateurs portugais et espagnols ouvrent de nouvelles routes commerciales vers l'Indes. (fr)
