4. Why did the Northwest Passage suit the goals (agenda) of the Eurpean explorers and monarchs?

Because it was an approach to Asia that can help people found Asia. It was new and strange to people in the past, so they could go to Asia to find something new. Explorers could use it to get riches and different cultures. That was a great way to them to carry new things to their countries. For monarchs, it was a good way to expand their countries' areas.
