Why were the european merchants interested in finding a sea route to the easts

Hey George!

To look into Asia! The growth of trade between Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe encouraged Europeans to seek out new trade routes so Europe could find their own route to America, since 1) they could sell European products 2) they'd get wealthy 3) Europe would have their own trade route.

Europeans wanted to explore because trading with Asia had become more difficult and Expensive.
