Why did European want to explore other lands?

Europeans started exploring because they wanted spices, wealth, gold, expand trade routes and change of religion. These men were willing to risk there lives in order to get spices and gain wealth. The main reason that they went out to explore was for spices because they were so valuable. They wanted to trade directly with Africa and Asia, but this meant that they had to find a new sea route. The stakes were high. Finally, they explored for their own personal interest like fame from discovering new land.
