    The document discusses how the European cultural context impacted the Age of Exploration. Specifically, it notes that the Renaissance led people to think scientifically rather than religiously and become interested in exploring the world. This coincided with the decline of feudalism and rise of strong monarchies in places like Portugal, which then funded explorers like Prince Henry the Navigator and Columbus to explore places in Asia and Africa using new technologies like the astrolabe. The Renaissance era is identified as sparking interest in exploration and enabling the voyages that defined the Age of Exploration.
