La Salle's primary purpose for his voyage was to explore and claim the Mississippi River and its surrounding regions for France, aiming to establish a French presence in the North American interior. He sought to find a route to the Pacific Ocean and to expand fur trading opportunities. Additionally, La Salle aimed to establish a French colony at the mouth of the Mississippi River, which he believed would enhance France's economic and strategic interests in the New World.
