Ferdinand Magellan's primary reasons for exploration included the desire to find a westward route to the Spice Islands (the Moluccas) to access valuable trade resources like spices, which were highly sought after in Europe. He also aimed to enhance Portugal's maritime dominance and prove that the Earth could be circumnavigated by sea. Additionally, Magellan sought to expand knowledge about geography and navigation, as well as to promote the spread of Christianity through exploration.
