Early exploration motives are known as GGG for God, Glory, and Gold.
God- religious purposes, converting other lands
Glory- explorers had a chance to gain fame or fortune for discovering a new sea route or other transportation feat
Gold- explorers could earn a fortune for their findings // find “treasure” that hasn’t been found before that can change the world of exploration for a certain time

Spain and France had the same religious motivation for colonizing North America. Both Spain and France sent missionaries to North America with the goal of converting the Indians to Catholic Christianity. Colonists from England like the Puritans wanted to escape persecution they were experiencing in England.
