Best Answer

The Age of Exploration and European Imperialism of the Americas occurred just before the Protestant Reformation. The Americas presented a new start for non-Catholics, which is why many Protestants migrated to these new colonies (particularly in North America in the British colonies). Many Catholics also migrated to the Americas and they were more successful in spreading Catholicism than the Protestants were in Protestantism.

How was the search for colonies in Africa a source of conflict among the major powers?

Sub-Saharan Africa was the last major area colonized by Europeans. There was remarkably little conflict among the major European powers during the rapid colonization of Africa, compared to the extensive wars over colonization in the Americas and Asia. This is in large part due to the Berlin Treaty of 1885, at which the major European powers agreed to a policy of 'notify and occupy', a coordinated and cooperative policy which resulted in the colonization of almost the entire continent in less than two decades.
