for what reasons did explorers come to america?

Question

why did america seem so important to the europeans?

Answer 1

The Vikings are now accepted as the first to explore North America around 1000 A.D. and they came to expand their areas of settlement, i.e., to colonize new lands. But it didn't last. The theme was renewed by the Spanish, Portugese, Dutch, English and French some 500 years later and led to the institution of slavery to help exploit the rich and abundant natural resources they found here. But what these later Europeans were after initially was a water route to "The Spice Trade of the East Indies and China." An examination of North American history reveals that this drive for a shorter and more secure route to the east drove a great deal of early exploration across the continent for about 300 years. The most notable of which was the Lewis & Clark Expedition that took place exatly 200 years ago.
