European explorers traveled in the 1400s primarily to find new trade routes to Asia, seeking direct access to valuable spices, silks, and other goods without relying on intermediaries. Additionally, the spirit of the Renaissance fueled curiosity about the world, while the desire for territorial expansion, wealth, and the spread of Christianity motivated many explorers. Advances in navigation and shipbuilding technology also made long voyages more feasible.
