Explanation:

The Age of Exploration was the time when many Europeans went out and explored the world. They did this for numerous reasons, many wanted wealth and even the thrill of discovering new places made people want to explore.

Many new items were being discovered during this time. New fruits, animals, ores, and other things were being discovered and being brought back to Europe. This brought fortune to many people and spread new culture throughout many regions.

A lot of bad things came with the Age of Exploration as well, such as slavery and disease. The European explorers such as Christopher Columbus would find places such as the Americas and bring diseases to the people there, who had no immunity to them whatsoever, so it ended up killing a lot of people. A lot of European explorers also sold a lot of people into slavery in the Americas and Africa.

Between disease, slavery, murder, and other factors that the European explorers brought to the Americas and Africa, these ended up destroying and wiping out entire villages and societies.  

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
