Explanation:

During the Age of Discovery, European exploration was motivated by "Gold" (economic gain), "God" (spreading Christianity), and "Glory" (fame and power for nations/explorers). Democracy was not a motivation as the political system of democracy was not a driving factor for exploration at that time, and European powers were largely monarchies or oligarchies focused on the three Gs (Gold, God, Glory).
