Motives for Exploration
- While Columbus is often credited as being the first European to lay eyes on North America, the Vikings got there more than 400 years before him.
- A Spanish explorer happened upon Florida while searching for the "Fountain of Youth".
- Eurpoean explorers brought more than just boats with them to the new world. They were also carrying the Smallpox disease (a deadly relative of Chicken Pox), which killed millions of native people.
What Did They Get after Exploration
Reasons for European exploration of the North American continent were finding an alternate passageway to China and the eastern trade markets, the exploitation of labor and resources in the new world and spreading European-style civilization. In addition to building colonial empires in North America, the European powers were able to use the wealth extracted from those colonies to finance building empires elsewhere. Europeans also obtained new foods from North America, such as tomatoes, beans, squash and corn.
