Dutch and French explorers sought the Northwest Passage in the 16th and 17th centuries primarily to establish a faster trade route to Asia. By finding a northern route through North America, they aimed to access valuable goods like spices, silk, and other commodities, which were highly sought after in European markets. Additionally, these explorations were driven by national rivalries and the desire for territorial expansion and economic dominance in the New World.
