The Spanish and the Portuguese were the most interested in trading with the Asians and the Africans.
They wished to secure the deposits of gold around the world and become the wealthiest.
The spices and condiments that made the food tastier were among the main reasons the Europeans set out on exploration rides.
One of the major purposes of exploration was to spread Christianity to the regions of the world where there was a dominance of other religions and where Christianity was not known.
