Europeans sought various resources to fuel their economies and drive expansion, including precious metals like gold and silver, agricultural products such as sugar and tobacco, and raw materials like timber and cotton. Additionally, they sought spices and luxury goods from Asia to enhance trade and consumption. The demand for these resources spurred exploration, colonization, and the establishment of trade routes, significantly impacting global interactions.
