Between 1400 and 1600, European sailors rewrote the global map. They didn't set out to change the world — they set out to find cheaper spices. What followed was the first genuinely global economy, built on silver, sugar, and enslaved labor, and it reshaped every continent on earth. This series traces the full arc: why European exploration happened at all, how it was executed, what it found, and what the human cost actually was.
