The Europeans were motivated to explore in the 15th and 16th centuries by the desire for economic gain.
Explanation:
Before the 15th century, Europe and Asia traded extensively, mostly through the Silk Road. This was of great benefit for the Europeans and it gradually made the European kingdoms very wealthy. This all changed with the rise and establishment of the Ottoman Empire, which was located right where the trade routes between the two continents were going through.
The Ottomans required large taxes, but also restricted the trade, which put the Europeans in a very bad position. In order to have big economic gain, the Europeans had to come up with solutions quickly, so they quickly started to explore the oceans in order to find routes to Asia. The Europeans indeed managed to find routes to Asia through the Oceans, but they also managed to accidentally discover two new continents, North America and South America.
The gains for the Europeans from discovering new continents were:
- new territory
- spreading of Christianity
- establishing large plantations with cash crops
- becoming major player in the global trade
- accumulating wealth
- becoming more powerful
