Gaspar de Portolá was sponsored by Spain during his expeditions to Alta California in the late 18th century. Spain was seeking to expand its colonial territories and strengthen its presence on the West Coast of North America.
Gaspar de Portola decided to become an explorer because he was appointed by the Spanish crown to lead expeditions in California to assert Spanish control over the region and to establish settlements. As a military officer, Portola saw the exploration of new territories as an opportunity to expand Spanish influence and secure resources for the empire.
