Europeans were driven to expand due to a combination of economic, political, and technological factors. The desire for new trade routes and access to valuable resources, particularly spices and precious metals, fueled exploration. Additionally, the rise of powerful nation-states and competition among them spurred expansion efforts. Technological advancements in navigation and shipbuilding also made long voyages more feasible, enabling Europeans to explore and colonize new territories.
