Best Answer

European exploration was driven by a desire for wealth, power, and religious conversion, as well as advances in navigation technology. Nations sought new trade routes, resources, and territories to expand their influence and increase their wealth. Additionally, religious motivations spurred explorers to spread Christianity to new lands.
