Vasco da Gama was primarily searching for a sea route to India to access its lucrative spice trade. In 1497, he became the first European to reach India by sea, navigating around the southern tip of Africa, known as the Cape of Good Hope. His expedition aimed to establish direct trade links and assert Portuguese influence in the region, ultimately leading to the establishment of a vast trading empire.
