Europeans explored in the 1400s and 1500s primarily for economic reasons, seeking new trade routes to access valuable spices, gold, and other resources. The desire for wealth and the spread of Christianity also motivated exploration, as nations aimed to expand their influence and convert indigenous populations. Advances in navigation technology and the competition among European powers further fueled these explorations, leading to significant discoveries and the eventual colonization of various regions around the world.
