Key Concepts
In the 1500s and 1600s, European nations sought a direct water route to Asia to profit from its valuable trade in spices and silks. This led to a search for the Northwest Passage , a hoped for sea lane through or around North America that would serve as a shortcut to the Pacific Ocean.
