Amerigo Vespucci was motivated to explore primarily for the pursuit of knowledge and to expand trade routes. He was driven by a desire to understand the geography of the New World and to contribute to the mapping of the Americas. Additionally, the age of exploration was marked by competition among European powers, and Vespucci sought to bring wealth and prestige to himself and his patrons through new discoveries. His voyages ultimately led to the realization that the lands discovered were part of a separate continent, distinct from Asia.
