How did the age of discovery affect Africa?

The Age of Discovery, also known as the Age of Exploration, was a period in history starting in the 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. Historians often refer to the 'Age of Discovery'[1] as the pioneer Portuguese and Spanish long-distance maritime travels in search of alternative trade routes to "the Indies", moved by the trade of gold, silver and spices.


How did the Spanish respond to the discovery of a new world?

The Spanish responded to the discovery of the New World with a mix of ambition and zeal, driven by the prospects of wealth, land, and the spread of Christianity. They quickly established colonies, explored vast territories, and sought to exploit resources, particularly gold and silver. The Spanish Crown supported these endeavors through the encomienda system, which allowed colonists to extract labor from Indigenous populations. This led to significant cultural exchanges but also to devastating consequences for native societies due to disease, conquest, and forced labor.


Why were the spanish interested in the new world?

Fortune; gold and land. Some were farmers and others were miners. Hope that helped. : )
