For whom was the discovery of new lands more important – for the Europeans or for the Indigenous population?

The discovery of new lands pursued political and economic goals. The Europeans needed this to develop and strengthen trade relations with other countries. They offered the goods that were in demand in their country. Technical progress helped to make geographical discoveries: there were opportunities to go on long journeys by water and land. The discovery of the lands made it possible to move from the Middle Ages to the modern era, as external economic ties were established, the state began to develop.
