many countries like spain went to the americas to spread their faith and to convert native people

others went for glory and to try to gain honor in unexplored land

countries went in search of riches and spices( this was one of the main reasons for Columbus’ voyage to “india”)

Answer:

There are three main reasons for European Exploration. Them being for the sake of their economy, religion and glory. They wanted to improve their economy for instance by acquiring more spices, gold, and better and faster trading routes. Also, they really believed in the need to spread their religion, Christianity.

Hope this helps :)
