During the modern era, Europeans colonized most of the world, with their empires reaching the largest extent at the end of the 19th century. These empires were created for many reasons. Some were created in order to control access to spices or other rare materials. Others were created as a place to send prisoners. Most were created as part of the search for captive markets and raw materials during the second industrial revolution. In addition, many missionaries worked within empires or took the crucial first steps toward Imperialism in a location.

The main reasons the Puritans left Europe for the New World was to escape religious persecution and establish a community where they could practice their faith freely. They also sought economic opportunity and the chance to create a society based on their own religious principles.
The British came to the new world for many reasons. One was to colonize the land and expand the empire of the british. They wanted to become a powerful nation and to do this foreign conquest was essential. They also wanted to make money and with the new world growing and selling crops they sent money back to the mother land making England that much richer and more powerful.
