Western Europeans explored for several key reasons: to find new trade routes to access valuable spices and goods from Asia, to spread Christianity, and to expand their empires for political and economic gain. The desire for wealth and resources, particularly following the Crusades and the rise of powerful nation-states, propelled exploration. Additionally, advancements in navigation and shipbuilding made long voyages more feasible, encouraging explorers to venture into unknown territories.
