Britain sought to discover new lands during its imperial expansion to access valuable resources, establish trade routes, and expand its economic power. The pursuit of new territories allowed Britain to exploit raw materials, such as sugar, cotton, and minerals, crucial for its growing industrial economy. Additionally, establishing colonies provided strategic military locations and opportunities for spreading British culture and influence globally. This quest for land and resources was driven by competition with other European powers and the desire for national prestige.
