Riches!

They wanted land, gold, and any other valuable stuff they could find and claim.

Of course there was introducing the natives to Christianity. I do not think I will follow that train of thought further and have deleted a sentence or two.

:-) It's often been said that the Spanish were claiming lands in the New World for "God, gold, and glory."

Thank You for your help
Answered by Ms. Sue
You're welcome.

After I posted the info about the Spanish, I realized you'd asked about Northern Europeans. They weren't as concerned about spreading Christianity as the Spanish and Portuguese.
