Causes and effects of Exploration
Gold, God, Glory Most European countries began exploring for political (glory), social (God), or economic (gold) reasons. They were pushed to explore based on the success of the other countries. Many countries were looking for a Northwest Passage, which was an all water-route to Asia to make travel time shorter and more efficient. Less time traveling=more trips back and forth between Asia and Europe=more money
