Ferdinand Magellan's exploration was primarily driven by the desire to find a western sea route to the Spice Islands (the Moluccas) to enhance trade and access valuable spices. Additionally, he aimed to claim new territories for Spain, expanding its influence and wealth. Magellan also sought to prove that the Earth could be circumnavigated by sea, which would further solidify Spain's maritime dominance.
