Europeans wanted to find a waterway passage to Asia after the trade routes became taxed. They didn't find one but instead found the New World or the Americas. After this find they began exploring the New Land in search of gold, silver, vegetables, and other items they might be able to trade. They also explored the unknown to find Native Americans and trade with them. Also, to set up plantation settlements and colony settlements.
