This document appears to be notes from a history lesson on the Age of Exploration in Europe. It discusses several key topics in 3 sentences or less: The Renaissance led to new ideas of individualism, secularism, and humanism that fueled curiosity about distant lands. Economic and political problems in Portugal and Spain motivated them to find new trade routes by sea to Asia to bypass Italian middlemen. Explorers like Prince Henry, Dias, and Magellan advanced cartography and helped establish new global trade networks for their nations, proving the Earth was round in the process.
