The primary motivation for Henry Hudson's voyage was to find a northwest passage to Asia. Sponsored by the Dutch East India Company, Hudson sought a shorter trade route to access the lucrative spice and silk markets of the East. His exploration aimed to establish Dutch claims in North America and enhance trade opportunities, ultimately leading to the discovery of the Hudson River and the surrounding areas.
