Europeans sought an all-water route to the Orient primarily to access valuable trade goods such as spices, silk, and precious metals more efficiently and directly. The overland routes were often long, dangerous, and controlled by intermediaries, which increased costs and reduced profits. Establishing a sea route would allow for greater control over trade and reduce reliance on land-based pathways, fostering economic growth and expansion. Additionally, the Age of Exploration was driven by a desire for new territories and the spread of Christianity, further motivating the quest for maritime passage to Asia.
