One of the factors was that the Ottoman Turks took control of the sea trading route of the Mediterranean so the Spanish had to find new routes to trade with the eastern countries.

Also, the development of new technologies like the compass, the astrolabe and the caravels helped them travel farther to the west.

In Spain there was a social class called the Hidalgos they were like low nobility so they wanted to get richer and make a name of themselves, these were the people that led the explorations.

The King Ferdinand and the Queen Isabella just had united the Spanish kingdom and they were anxious to make it richer and bigger.

Why did the English explorers come to the new world in the 1200s?

English explorers did not significantly venture to the New World until the late 15th century and early 16th century, particularly after Columbus's voyages in 1492. However, during the 1200s, European exploration was primarily driven by the desire for new trade routes and resources, as well as the expansion of knowledge about the world. The English were motivated by the search for economic opportunities, such as spices and precious metals, as well as the potential for land and territorial expansion. The later formal exploration and colonization efforts by England in the New World would arise from these broader trends in European exploration.
