Last week we learned about the Europeans and their want for expansion and exploration. In the 1400's the Europe was controlled by the Roman Catholic Church. The church had authority over politics and kept the hold on religion; until reformation and the renaissance era sparked new ideas and a push for religious freedom. The separation between Protestant and Catholics divided the people in half and caused Europe to have to rebuild there nation. Economical and political recuperation made the desire for exploration even more prominate.
I'm almost positive that if new age ideas didn't pushed the boundaries for religion, Europe would've taken even longer to expand. But they're greedy and authoritative so it's an inevitability they will take advantage of what they will discover.
