Countries wanted to spread their religious beliefs around the world. The explorers were Christian and wanted people in distant places to become Christian too.

5 New Trade Routes Explorers were looking for new trade routes. They wanted to find new ways to reach the Indies. There were valuable things to trade for in the Indies and the paths merchants had to travel to reach there were long and dangerous. Beginning with Christopher Columbus, explorers were looking for a way to travel west to reach the Indies.

6 Wealth Explorers were also looking for wealth. They wanted to become wealthy by finding new riches and treasures. They also wanted their countries to become wealthy and powerful. If you discovered a treasure, what would you use the wealth for?
