Why did Europeans explore and colonize North America? |
|
 | I know that North America was colonized. I just don't understand why. |  |
|
 | I believe it was for economic, political and religious reasons. |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | Europeans moved so that they could expand their ownership of land. |  |
|
 | I think they also came so that they could have religious freedom. |  |
|

|
|
Expanding their hold on new land makes sense. |
|
 | It says here that they also wanted to increase political strength. |  |
|
 | I get it. The more land they obtained, the more wealth they would acquire. |  |
