Some governments and kings had difficulty agreeing to fund explorations because of the high costs involved, the risks associated with uncertain outcomes, and concerns about potential failures leading to wasted resources.

Many governments and kings faced difficulties in agreeing to fund exploration due to competing priorities, such as military needs, domestic issues, and economic constraints. Exploration often required significant financial investments with uncertain returns, leading to reluctance among rulers to commit resources. Additionally, differing political agendas and rivalries between nations complicated cooperative efforts. The fear of potential conflicts over newly discovered territories also contributed to hesitance in supporting exploratory ventures.
