Money. Trade, raw materials, etc. etc...
Ummm cause of these reasons at the bottom:
1. The economy
2. Competetion (they didnt want to loose to French and Spain)
3. Loose of land (they didnt have enough land in Britain)
4. Religious rights.
And these are the reasons they went to North America....I have no clue if you need this anymore but just incae..
In the 17th century, the British began to colonize North America and South America. It would not be until the 19th century that the British would acquire large land-holdings in Africa and Asia.
British/English, French, Spanish, Dutch.
In many cases the Brits are responsible for colonizing BFE and BFI (idaho).
British colonize but not anymore does him.
To try to colonize the area. Spain had several anchorages on the Pacific coast of North America, and these were later raided by British privateers.
One reason that was NOT a motivation for the British to colonize North America was the desire to spread democracy. The primary motivations included economic opportunities, such as the pursuit of resources and trade, as well as the desire for religious freedom and the expansion of British territory. The focus was largely on profit and strategic advantages rather than establishing democratic governance.
They wanted to colonize America so they could gain power, increase their amount of land and trade, and spread religion
