They were named luxuries for a reason though, as they had to travel thousands of miles through heated deserts and violent seas. Understandably, the merchants of Europe wanted to find

During the Crusades, Europeans brought luxury good from Italian merchants, who got them from Arab traders; Europeans taste for luxury items greatly increased. During the 13th and 14th explorers like Marco Polo claimed that Asia had the luxury goods the Europeans desired. This began the race towards finding a trade route to Asia. Christopher Columbus and many other explorer seek funds from Kings,Queens, and wealthy businessman to fund their explorations. After gaining funds from the King and Queen

The reason for this is because the Ottoman Turks have recently conquered Constantinople and the eastern Mediterranean, thus making it difficult to get to Asia via land travel. Asia was an important continent to be able to trade with due to the belief gold that was located there, along with silk and spices. Furthermore, Spain was recently

These monarchs were very powerful but all wanted to expand and find new land to take control of. In order to do this, they had to find the proper resources and become able to explore and expand. To know why the English were interested in settling in the New World, we first have to understand the conflicts they faced. In

Chronic intake, delayed onset of action, drug resistance and numerous side effects of current antidepressants have forced researchers to look for new and safer drugs (1, 2) with rapid onset and longer acting times. Results obtained in recent years have been encouraging especially with ketamine a global NMDAR antagonist. The antidepressant-like activity of ketamine has been shown in many preclinical studies (1–7). A single non-anesthetic dose of ketamine reversed the symptoms of major depression

The major motive behind 15th and 16th century exploration was trade, “European countries craved easy access to African and Asian goods—silk, dyes, perfumes, jewels, sugar, gold, and especially spices” (12). Europeans wanted to develop a transoceanic trade route to can better more direct access to African and Asian goods.
