Europeans traveled east primarily for trade, seeking new routes to access valuable spices, silk, and other luxury goods from Asia. The desire for wealth and the competition among European powers fueled exploration. Additionally, religious motives, such as spreading Christianity and combating Islam, also played a significant role in their eastward journeys. The quest for knowledge and adventure further motivated explorers to venture into the East.
