How did explorers make money?
How did explorers make money? Expeditions made money primarily by discovering new trade routes for their nations. When the Ottoman Empire captured Constantinople in 1453, many existing trade routes to India and China were shut down. These trade routes were very valuable as they brought in expensive products such as spices and silk.
Can anyone be an explorer and why?
While it can be easy to assume that exploration is only conducted by scientists or SCUBA divers, the reality is that anyone can be an explorer, and it takes all sorts of interests and expertise to accomplish mission goals.
