There wasn’t really any motive since they had everything they needed, mostly in India and China.

Tea, ceramics, spices opium, silk and lots more were all in high demand in Europe and all came from the East. The whole reason for European colonialism in the first place was to find a quicker way to Asia, which is how Columbus accidentally discovered the Americas.
