Henry Hudson was motivated to explore primarily by the pursuit of a northwest passage to Asia, which was believed to offer a shorter route for trade. Additionally, he sought wealth and new territories for his sponsors, including the Dutch and English East India Companies. His explorations were driven by the desire to find valuable resources, such as spices and fur, and to expand European knowledge of uncharted territories. Hudson's ambition and curiosity about the New World played a significant role in his explorations.
