Captain James Cook embarked on his journeys primarily to explore and map uncharted territories, seeking new trade routes and expanding British knowledge of the Pacific region. His voyages, particularly between 1768 and 1779, were also driven by scientific objectives, including the study of astronomy and natural history. Additionally, he aimed to establish British colonies and assert British presence in the Pacific, which was crucial for maritime expansion during that era.
