The discovery of a sea route to India no doubt had the largest impact on Europe at this time.

Since all spice and silk had to come by land from the east and trough Turkey, the Ottomans would double the prices of goods before re-selling them to European merchants.

So when the Portugeese established a trade route to India and started hauling huge amounts of spices back to Europe, suddenly these goods became much more available to people, and they didn't have to buy it from the Ottomans by insane prices.

Also the money that Portugal obtained trough spice trade was later used to sail greater distances with new ships and discover new lands, so in a way spice trade helped in research of naval technologies.
