Queen Elizabeth 1st sponsored voyages to go to America because she wanted to become more powerful and have more gold/riches. Also if she sponsored voyages to America because she is the Queen she would be able to claim anything they found ie. new land, gold and riches and new food (mainly spices).
I hoped this helped!!!!
