Europeans explored the sea primarily for trade, seeking new routes to access valuable spices, silk, and other goods from Asia. Additionally, the desire for territorial expansion, wealth, and the spread of Christianity motivated their maritime ventures. Technological advancements in navigation and shipbuilding further facilitated these explorations, leading to the establishment of new colonies and global trade networks.
