Factors led to sea expedition and exploration--- Religion

      As a matter of fact, history can’t make big move without impressive people and their desire at all. Sea expedition and exploration can be explained using the same way.

       People think it was a glory that they explored for the pride of their nation and religion. Their faith inspired them a lot, as well. War caused by Crusades and medieval inquisition made people form a fanatical feeling of Christian. For a long time, active missionary is very important to Christian. Moreover, in order to make those infidels or non-believers who converted to Christianity, people never hesitated to use force. Missionaries not only wanted to win victory on battlefield, but also try to occupy people’s mind. They were particularly eager to transmit their religion to every corner of the world. Therefore, Voyagers believed it was God’s mission that led them to adventure so that it set a good psychological basis for the voyages. We have to say that Christian has been spread more or less with Portuguese and Spanish’s exploration. Their desire was to make other people in the other parts of the world believe in Christ and to spread the gospel.

      I start believing that religion makes people crazy. Indeed, one’s faith is a huge motivation to drive him/her to do what him/her really want to do and make his/her dreams come true. Everyone has a holy war in the heart. In order to win every battle, humans have to do the best.
