Europeans also were strong Christian believers and always had a church on their land. Coming to America was the perfect opportunity to come to America. Part of the expansion in the colonies was because people from the Anglican Church came over to the New World to spread…
There were many reason to why the Europeans had started to look westward. Before explorers found site of the America’s commerce and nationalism were two important and related changes that provided the first incentive for many Europeans to look towards new land (Brinkley, pg.9).

The European conquest of America began as an offshoot of the quest for a sea route to India, China, and the islands of the East Indies, the source of the silk, tea, spices, porcelain, and other luxury goods on which international trade in the early modern era centered. Profit and piety-the desire to eliminate Islamic middlemen and win control of the lucrative trade for Christian Western Europe-combined to inspire the quest for a direct route to Asia. Long before Columbus sailed, Europeans had dreamed of a land of abundance, riches, and ease beyond the western horizon. They hoped America would bring them a better life. Europeans envisioned America as a religious refuge, a society of equals, a source of power and glory.…
The conquest and colonization of the peoples of America and their implications devastating for the aboriginal population of America were the immediate consequences of this momentous event. America had been isolated from the world for thousands of years, and the arrival of the Europeans took a radical turn to its history, with effects that feel up to the present time.…
Colonialism driven by imperialistic forces led to the destruction of cultures and societies that existed before its intrusion. Once colonizers staked their claim on the inhabited lands, they systematically deconstructed the indigenous people's societies, and, in turn, replaced them with exploitative relationship led by the mother country through the enforcement of the ruling class.…
Christianity was spreading through European Americans and was a great influence in the coming to the Americas. It was derived from the theories of the end of time. It doesn’t matter what religion you believe or practice, it will have a large influence on your interactions, beliefs, and acquaintances. With two very different religious views and the European Americans drive to industrialize the conflict over land was inevitable. The Protestant believed that the Native Americans were instruments of the evil. Today and then Protestant sects do not solely agree on the sequence of events at the end of time. Though they do believe that the Ordeal and…

During the 15th to the 17th century, Europeans engaged in intensive exploration and colonization of the world.

In the beginning of fifteen century, Europeans began what we now call “the age of exploration and discovery”. Portugal, Spain, Dutch, French, and England were all in battle for territory. People may asked why did all these countries want to colonize the Americas so bad? Before series of voyages launched to discover the new world, people had no knowledge of what the other side of the world was like and what did the Americas have to offer. The Europeans hoped that when they went to discover the Americas, they would find gold, spices and silks, instead they found silver and some natives. The New World had many things to offer to the Europeans and they saw the explorations of the new world to benefit them in wealth, knowledge and power. Europeans…
In the 14th century the Europeans set out to find an all water route to Asia to trade and get spices, silks, gold, porcelain, and other riches. Little did they no they ended up being the first Europeans to explore the New World. Once the New World was discovered, more and more explorers continued to venture out to this New World.

Although there were many negative effects of their arrival there were positive impacts as well such as the exchange of resources. The Europeans changed the Native American ways of life forever.…
The "discovery" of the New World by Christopher Columbus led to a new chapter in history that no one at the time could have anticipated. For many Europeans, it offered a better life than the one they were living, which led to the colonization of the Americas. Motives that fueled European colonization were that the New World offered religious freedom, a fresh start for those who were impoverished and in debt, and better opportunities to acquire large amounts of land and wealth.…
