They didn't "need to"; it is often - and specifically in the case of the crusades - the greed of rulers which makes them go to war.
They hoped to establish trade with China, Japan, and the Indies without having to go throught middlemen in west Asia and the Middle East. The motive of conquering, plundering, and exploiting the lands that these expeditions discovered arose only after they were discovered, that is, after the expeditions and not before then.
Portugal's only land in the New World (that lasted) was Brazil, a colony (and modern day country) comprising over half of the South American continent. Brazil's official and most spoken language is by far Portuguese and it also shows cultural influence by the Portuguese. Uruguay was at once a part of Portuguese Brazil so you too could argue that it has been influenced by its Portuguese rulers.
When Hernan Cortes went on his expeditions in the Americas, he went under the same patronage as Christopher Columbus. Charles and Isabella were the rulers of Spain who encouraged the conquistadors.
Brazil was discovered by the Portuguese discoverer Pedro Alvares Cabral in April 22nd, 1500. The independence day from the Portuguese crown is dated to be September 7th, 1822, but not recognized until 1985. In 1822, the Empire took place over the Portuguese rulers, and lasted until 1899. In November 15, 1899 the Federative Republic of BRazil was proclaimed.
The rulers of China at the time shifted their priorities towards land-based defense and the consolidation of power within the country. The costly expeditions led by Zheng He were seen as diverting resources that could be better used elsewhere. Additionally, the Confucian bureaucracy favored a focus on domestic affairs over foreign exploration.
