Many people have asked what was so attractive to the English, French And Spanish to bring them to the "New World". Most people underestimate this question and cite greed. In my opinion what attracted the French, Spanish, and English to the New World is not given the credit it deserves. The basics that attracted the French, Spanish, and English to the New World were economic, social, and political strategic conflict. In the light of this I will break down the issues in order to give each of them the thought that they fully deserve.

Spain looked at the New World and saw an oppertunity to convert the people of the New World to Catholasisim, because of Queen Isabellas strong commitment to her faith .Other countries were more concerened with political reaches it could impliment and use to control The new country.Queen Isabella was more worried about saving the savages souls. As a result an early establishment of the Catholic religion in the New World. The results of this are still seen today in America. The Spanish did manage to "civilise" Latin America, the Spanish had no way to rule effictivly, due to the distance from the Americas to Spain. Also, the Spainish ways of ruling had no give it was black and white no grey. All major decisions were made by Spain so when officals wrote for advice it took months to get a response, and the conflict was already over.

Frances main goal in going to the "New World" was incorporation. The French didn't merely want to convert the people to Christianity, they wanted to export their culture, food, and language. Futhermore, the French handled their cononist differently,they made sure their colonies they established were exactly like France educating them on their subjects and urging them to consider themselves French however, this was very costly.The French also hoped to find gold and silver but when they didn't find it they developed fishing and fur trading post instead.

England was practicle in their empire, so they created a limited self government, local groups made of white settlers however, other countries were placed under direct rule. These decisions were racially motivated the British did not try to push their culture on the colonist but adopted certian aspects of it io help run the empire, for example their education system. But the British did not encourage the idea of calling the colonist British and as a result a strong united feeling was presant in each colony. Such things led to the American revolution. Americans saw themselves as American and not British and fought for their independance from Brittian.

The differences in what each country come to the "New World" for are evident. The Spanish wanted to force their religon on the natives and reap the riches they thought were here. The French wanted the "New World to be an extention of France and force all of their ways upon the settlers and natives. The English just wanted to claim the country for them selves but they didn't see the value of the natives and killed most of them off.
