As both an explorer and a privateer, Sir Francis Drake viewed exploring and finding new ports as a good financial venture. Queen Elizabeth wanted him to plunder Spanish ports and he was very successful at doing this. He traveled back to England in victory, bringing rich spices and Spanish goods after having circumnavigated the globe.

Why did Sir Frances Drake want to explore?

because people believed that the world was flat and he wanted to see if that was trueAnswerThe above answer is incorrect. By the time of Francis Drake (1540-1596) Christiopher Columbus (1451-1506) had already "discovered" the Americas and Vasco da Gama (1469-1524) had sailed around the world. People already knew the world was not flat.Drake sailed in order to mount an expedition against the increasing power of Spain in the New Word. Part of this process naturally involved exploration in order to see what new territories could be gained for England. It had nothing to do with proving the Earth wasn't flat.
