English explorers

English explorers were adventurers from England who traveled to new lands, especially during the Age of Exploration from the late 15th to the early 18th century. They sought new trade routes, riches, and territories. Notable figures include Sir Francis Drake, who circumnavigated the globe, and Captain James Cook, who mapped parts of the Pacific. Their journeys expanded knowledge of geography, led to the establishment of colonies, and often resulted in cultural exchanges, but also conflict and colonization, significantly shaping the world we know today.
