The European nations were looking for a water route to Asia. They just happened to find North America while doing this. Columbus was the vanguard of the explorers in 1492 when he found Hispaniola. He didn't realize he didn't find Asia and never knew that North America existed. For many years the Spanish controlled the Pacific and the routes between Europe and the Americas. Under Elizabeth the English began pushing against the Spanish domination of the Pacific. She sent men like Drake to challenge them and to explore. Drake was the first English man to land on the beach of today's San Francisco Bay. In 1607 Jamestown was established by the, private investors of the East India Co. This is considered the first English colony in America.
