"Each individual used exploration as a way to colonize and expand their respective empires."

Reason: Henry, Dias, and da Gama advanced Portuguese exploration and trade routes; Columbus and Magellan opened and claimed lands for Spain (and other crowns); Isabella and Ferdinand sponsored voyages to grow Spain’s empire; and the pope (as spiritual authority) legitimized European territorial claims.
