Extended data:
With the development of commodity economy, the capitalist relations of production in western Europe have been gradually established, traditional and secular cultures have been developed, feudal kingship has been strengthened, the cultural and political monopoly position of Christian churches has been challenged, and the emerging West has begun to rise.
With the rise of the west, the tradition of advocating adventure and personal heroism in the bones of westerners has also revived. In addition, in the trade with eastern countries, Europe has been in a deficit position because of being exploited by Persians and Arabs, and gold has flowed out in large quantities.
This directly affects the interests of European businessmen, who and the emerging bourgeoisie are eager to trade directly with the eastern countries and expand their capital. Therefore, under the strong expectation of adventure and the extreme desire for gold, Europeans, especially western Europeans, risked their lives and began to try to open up a new route to the East by sea.
