European traders were interested in Southeast Asia primarily for its valuable spices, such as cloves, nutmeg, and pepper, which were in high demand in Europe for both culinary and preservation purposes. The region also offered lucrative trade routes and opportunities to establish colonies and trade monopolies. Additionally, Southeast Asia's strategic location facilitated access to the lucrative markets of China and India. The quest for wealth and resources drove European powers to explore and establish trade networks in the area.
