I think that Gold was the motivation for sponsoring the trips because They wanted to buy new lands and that cost money. They knew that if they sponsored the explorers. They could make money by spices and goods that the explorers brought back. I know this because in the passage it said " He realized that there was considerable monetary value having multiple trade routes via sea." I think that represents what I said because it says that It has value for trade routes. So that means that they want people to go to different places to get money.

I think that the motivation kings and queens had for funding exploration was gold. I think this is because in the passage, it said, " Famous explorers were born in wealthy families." This meant that they were rich and had a lot of gold to pay for sponsorship's to explore.  The gold was used to buy land (if needed).  Kings and queens were motivated because the royals wanted to see the new lands the explorers found. That is how I know that Gold is what motivated kings and queens to fund sponsorship's.

I think the motivation kings and queens had for funding exploration is Glory. I think this because in the passage it said "France and England, not Portugal and Spain, that ended up claiming most of the land in this continent.  This is because Spain and Portugal were more focused on claiming land in South America." I used this quote as my evidence because it talks about what land they wanted or did claim and were.

I think the main motivation for queens and kings to fund explorations is gold. I think this because the text says, " In addition to the explorer being an ambassador for them, sponsors also wanted other things in return for there money." Because it says that they wanted other things for there money. I have a theory that what they wanted in return was gold or spices. They could sell these and become rich.

I think the motivation kings and queens had for funding exploration  was mostly for glory.  France and England ended up claiming lots of the land in the United States/other parts of North America. This is because Spain and Portugal were focused on claiming land in South America. These countries wanted glory for claiming other countries to be more powerful. Another motivation for funding exploration is for God. I think this because people wanteed to spread Christianity to other countries. A quote that supports this is " People wanted to explore in hopes of spreading Christianity to other parts of the world."

I think that the main motivation for kings and queens sponsoring exploration was glory. I can support my answer a few ways. One way I can support my answer is that really, the royal personal never asked for money, or gold in return from the explorer. And that wouldn't make sense anyways, because the explorers were getting money from the royals. The text also sais that royals wanted new land and trade routes for them and their country.
One other piece of evidence that supports my answer is the fact that more people might want to move too the new land that the royals claimed, so their country would become bigger. All this evidence supports the fact that royals wanted to be distinguished, and that they wanted more GLORY for them selves.

I think that the main motivation for king and queens funding exploring was for god. I believe this because it talked about how churchmen from England did exploration so they could spread their religion everywhere. However Portugal explored for gold so what they did was claimed trade routes. But maybe price Henry did it a little bit for god since they had a religion.

I think that the motivation for the kings and queens had were mostly for Glory. Spain and Portugal wanted to claim lots of land. These countries were interested in South America. Other countries like France and England were  interested in claiming North America. They got glory by expanding their countries. Prince Henry sponsored  most of the expeditions. After that, his nephew sponsored and then a lot of other royalty started to sponsor.  A lot of explorers in the past were from Spain and Portugal.
