INFLUENCE OF
EXPLORATION NOTES
Why did Europeans explore?
• Long trade relationship with Asia
suffered with the fall of
Constantinople in 1453.
• Rather than cutting through Eurasia,
Europeans now turned towards the
Atlantic front in search of new trade
routes.
• The demand for natural resources
didn’t fall with Constantinople.
3 Motivators of Exploration
• God
–Spread of Christianity
• Gold
–And other natural resources
• Glory

strength
Spread of Religion
• Colonists – Individuals who form
a settlement ruled by a parent
country, and take religion with
them!
• Example – the original 13 colonies!
• Christianity
– Christian persecution in Europe caused
Protestants to seek refuge in a “new world.”
• Roman Catholicism
– French North America (Quebec)
– Spanish Empire (Mexico-South America)
– Portuguese Empire (Brazil)
