The Age of Discovery is an informal and loosely defined term for the early modern period, largely overlapping with the Age of Sail, approximately from the 15th century to the 18th century in European history, in which seafaring Europeans explored regions across the globe
In this video, I talked about the beginning of the age of discovery and how it shaped our world today. From providing us with malaria medicine and things like potato or tomato, age of discovery or the age of exploration is such an amazing yet horrifying time period
