Initially, the search for food led human beings to explore. As societies became more sophisticated, expeditions were still launched in search of food, but also trade markets and routes, territories to colonize, and sources of income.

By the 15th century, Spain and Portugal were exploring for four basic reasons:

- to establish valuable trade routes

- to find gold and treasure

- to establish colonies for their country

- to convert native peoples to Christianity

(often these purposes were at odds with each other - by the 1500s there was also a slave trade)
