Sir Francis Drake aimed to promote English interests through exploration, trade, and privateering against Spanish ships and settlements. He sought to establish a foothold in the New World and expand England's influence, particularly in the Americas. Additionally, Drake's circumnavigation of the globe (1577-1580) showcased England's naval power and helped to gather intelligence on Spanish territories. Ultimately, his actions contributed to the rise of England as a maritime power during the late 16th century.
