Was the Age of Exploration a time of discovery or invasion? Respond below.

I think the Age of Exploration was a time of Discovery and invasion, because there were many things that led to both. It was a time of discovering because people like Henry the Navigator would find new trade routes, and Columbus sailed voyages to Asia trying to find new trade routes as well. It was a time of invasion because Hernan Cortes attacked the Aztecs, burned houses and looted them as well, and tear down Tenochtitlan. Overall I think the age of exploration was a crazy time period but it did help the world out.

Were these motives and causes for exploration harmless? Most of these motives were harmless. For example Henry the Navigator had several goals for Portugal. He desired to find new trade routes to bring spices back to Europe. Trade routes were mostly harmless because you could trade with knowledge and treasures. Also Columbus was not harmless and help explore more trade routes.
