European explorers sought an all-water route to Asia primarily to access the lucrative spice trade, which was highly valued for its use in preserving food and enhancing flavors. Additionally, they aimed to find faster and more efficient trade routes to bypass middlemen, particularly those in the Ottoman Empire, who significantly marked up prices. Establishing direct trade links would also enhance national wealth and power, sparking competition among European nations. Lastly, the Age of Exploration was fueled by a desire for new territories and the spread of Christianity.
