The primary economic motivations for European exploration and colonization in the Americas included the search for new trade routes to Asia, the desire to acquire valuable resources such as gold, silver, and spices, and the establishment of profitable colonies. European nations sought to expand their wealth and power by exploiting the natural resources of the New World and establishing trade networks that would bring goods back to Europe.
