Which was NOT a motivation for European exploration in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries? 
A:the desire for wealth 
B:ottoman control of the Silk Road 
C:the rediscovery of Greco-roman culture
D:a spirit of curiosity

Sagot :

The motivation for european exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries was definitely A and D. It is also true that Ottoman empire did take control of the Silk road in 1453. that leaves the B as your answer for a non-motivator for european exploration. It makes sense really. Greek and Roman are both found in Europe!
