Question

What was a major reason why there was no exploration during the Dark Ages (in Europe) and is a major reason why people started to explore again during the Renaissance?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1: The Black Plague. 2: European countries were seeking new trade routes to distant trading partners in the Far East, including: China, India and Japan. European countries had traditionally traded with these countries through the Silk Road. The Silk Road was mostly over land and took merchants a great deal of time to ship goods. European countries were interested in speeding up trade by finding a quicker sea route.
