8. The 3 main reason of Exploration
Economic
one of the major
motivating factors in the
European Age of
Exploration was the search
for direct access to the
highly lucrative Eastern
spice trade. In the 15th
century, spices came to
Europe via the Middle East
land and sea routes, and
spices were in huge
demand both for Food
dishes and use in
medicines.
Political
In the 15th century, Europe
sought to expand trade routes
to find new sources of wealth
and any newly found lands.
This European Age of
Discovery saw the rise of
colonial empires on a global
scale, building, a commercial
network that connected Europe,
Asia Africa and the New World.
Religious
Spanish missionaries
carried Catholics to the
New World and the
Philippines establishing
various mission in the
newly colonized lands. The
missions served as a base
for both administering
colonies as well as
spreading Christianity.
