Question

What was the reason which led to the expansion of europe in 15th century?

Answer 1

The fall of the Roman Empire (476 CE) and the beginning of the European Renaissance in the late 14th century roughly bookend the period known as the Middle Ages. Without a dominant centralized power or overarching cultural hub, Europe experienced political, social, and military discord during this time. This included the Crusades against the Muslims of the late 11th through late 13th centuries and the Black Death of the 1340s.
