Answer:

Europeans wanted to explore for their desire to have more and more gold, spices and to spread the religion.

Explanation:

  • The Spanish and the Portuguese were the most interested in trading with the Asians and the Africans.
  • They wished to secure the deposits of gold around the world and become the wealthiest.
  • The spices and condiments that made the food tastier were among the main reasons the Europeans set out on exploration rides.
  • One of the major purposes of exploration was to spread Christianity to the regions of the world where there was a dominance of other religions and where Christianity was not known.
