The search for a new sea route to Asia was driven by Europeans' desire for direct access to lucrative trade in spices, silk, and other goods, bypassing overland routes dominated by Middle Eastern and North African intermediaries. This quest led to significant maritime exploration, resulting in the discovery of new lands and sea passages.
