Europeans explored and colonized various parts of the world beginning in the 15th century. Spain built a vast overseas empire by exploring the Americas and establishing colonies. Europeans clashed with indigenous populations and established slave trade networks to exchange goods. Exploration led to global connections through trade, spread of diseases, plants, animals, and people across oceans.
