The arrival of the europeans to America at the end of the fifteenth century had as main causes:

- The need for the new trade routes between Europe and the far East (India, China and Japan)

- The development of useful inventions for nagivations and geography: The compass, the astrolave, the caravels, the firearms, the printing press, the paper, and so on.

- The interest in expanding the christian faith in other continents.

- The curiosity to know new territories and cultures.
