Sea exploration affected Europe and colonized countries in several ways. Firstly, it made Europe become the center of world power. They gain wealth by buying items from countries that they colonize at a low price and selling those things to other countries at higher prices. European countries such as Spain, England, and Portugal become more powerful and that lead to conflict between European countries because they try to gain more power by colonizing oversea lands. From stating sea exploration, Europe can find the new sea route to Asia and find new lands such as America and Australia causing spread the western tradition and culture around the world.
