European interest in Asia, Africa and the New World was stimulated by several factors. One main factor was economically based. New sources of trade and riches in minerals and gold was certainly a main interest. This interest was heightened by the chance to gain military power by establishing bases and colonies in these areas. Also, spheres of influence helped both their economics and military power. There was also a goal of spreading Christianity to the natives of these areas.
