Francis Drake traveled to the Americas primarily to conduct raids against Spanish settlements and ships, seeking to undermine Spain's dominance in the region. He aimed to expand English influence and wealth through privateering, motivated by both national interests and personal gain. Additionally, his expeditions contributed to the exploration and mapping of the Pacific coast and established him as a prominent figure in the age of exploration.
