Answer:

The main motives of European exploration

Step-by-step explanation:

You kinda already have the answer down, the meaning of "Gold, Glory, God" is the motivation phrase that explorers do. Gold meaning they can find gold when exploring and get rich. Glory meaning they can explore new lands no one has seen before and claim it as theirs. God meaning expanding Christianity to new lands.
