Francisco Vázquez de Coronado sailed for Spain primarily to explore and expand Spanish territory in the New World. He was motivated by the search for the mythical Seven Cities of Gold, which were believed to be rich in resources and wealth. Additionally, his expedition aimed to spread Christianity among indigenous populations and assert Spanish dominance in the region. Ultimately, his journey contributed to the European understanding of the American Southwest.
