What strata of the population were interested in discovering new lands?

The nobility was interested because of the opportunity to acquire new possessions. Merchants sought to find new goods and open new markets. Ordinary people tried to improve their situation, to start a new life.
The rulers, in turn, sought to glorify their name (well, to expand the state, to get hold of wealth, it goes without saying).



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
