The age of exploration was the moment when Europe expanded their voyages to places they never been before. It started with Marco Polo’s voyage to China in 1275 and only expanded from there.
Technology helped the age of exploration because there were a series of new tools that helped explorers to reach Asia and The New World, the main technology was the caravels that were a new boat with top technology that made possible for them to survive long travels, Marco Polo was the pioneer of the travels and he wrote a series of notes with observations that also helped other explorers to have a better voyage. With time, other technology developed such as the compass, the astrolabe.
