Europeans were primarily seeking trade routes to Asia, particularly to access valuable goods such as spices, silk, and other luxury items. The desire for direct trade with the East motivated explorers to find alternative routes, especially after the fall of Constantinople and the subsequent rise in prices from Middle Eastern intermediaries. This quest ultimately led to the discovery of new lands and maritime routes, including the Americas and around Africa.
