The direct effect of the Crusades on European exploration is the development of better ships and improved navigation.
The Crusades stimulated trade between Europe and the East, leading to increased demand for goods such as spices, silks, and other luxury items. This trade necessitated advancements in maritime technology, including improvements in ship design and navigation techniques, which were crucial for long-distance sea travel and exploration in the following centuries.
