The drive for exploration was an economic one. In order for countries to maintain their rule, European leaders sought trade with other lands, or their outright conquest. The colonies in the New World had an immense untapped supply of Natural Resources, and Spain obtained immense wealth despite the far distance and considerable expenditures involved.
