Every nation had taken colonies and this reduced the economic opportunity of the old world. The Spaniard conquest of the Americas reduced the economic opportunities since they took most of the gold belonging to the natives for themselves according to De las Casas.
Technological advancement was another factor which came along with European expansion. The sailors build faster ships in order to sail in deep waters. They also build better navigation tools with the north and south magnetic compass design. This led to the discovery of new lands faster than anticipated. More accurate compasses were which facilitated the navigation to new lands formed. The Spaniards were in the spotlight since they build better compasses and that made them discover the America. The sailors of the west learned more about geography and used the knowledge of longitudes, latitudes to find new places. The first people to start the exploration were the Portuguese where they first moved around Africa and build a fortress in West Africa and many of the Portuguese made Africa their home.
