Because European merchants knew that if they could trade directly with people in Asia, they could make enormous profits.
Northern countries wanted to find the Northern Route, also known as the Northwest Passage, to establish a more direct sea route between Europe and Asia for trade. This route would allow for quicker access to the lucrative markets of Asia and reduce the need to travel around Africa or through the perilous waters of the southern tip of South America.
European countries wanted to find a shorter route to the Far East to reduce the time and cost of trade with Asian markets for valuable goods such as spices, silk, and porcelain. The existing routes through land and sea were long and dangerous, prompting explorers to seek more efficient alternatives to gain a competitive advantage in the lucrative trade.
Robert de La Salle wanted to explore because he sought to expand French territory in North America and establish trade routes to Asia. He also had ambitions to discover the elusive Northwest Passage, a shorter route to Asia. Additionally, La Salle was driven by a desire for fame, wealth, and adventure.
