After Europeans began to gain wealth, there was a surge in exploration and colonization, leading to the establishment of overseas empires. This wealth often stemmed from the exploitation of resources and labor in colonized regions, particularly in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The influx of riches contributed to the rise of powerful nation-states and intensified competition among European powers. Additionally, it fueled the development of trade networks and laid the groundwork for the global economy, but also resulted in significant social and cultural upheaval, along with the subjugation of indigenous populations.

Europeans wanted to explore the world so that they could gain wealth

They did because of the Age Of Exploration which was a time when the countries began sailing to find gold silks and spices.

Many things, especially the exploration of the Western World (Americas)
As European countries began to gain wealth, particularly during the Age of Exploration and the subsequent colonial expansions, they sought to expand their influence and control over global trade routes and territories. This wealth often fueled competition and conflict among nations, leading to imperialism and colonization, which had profound impacts on indigenous populations and cultures. The influx of resources, especially from the Americas, also contributed to the rise of capitalism and significant social and economic transformations in Europe. Additionally, increased wealth often exacerbated class divisions and spurred movements for political change and reform.

Europeans were interested in discovering new lands and markets to expand their trade networks, access new resources, and increase their wealth and power. They were also motivated by the desire to spread Christianity and gain glory for their monarchs.
Europeans sought wealth and power primarily for economic gain and national prestige. The pursuit of resources, trade routes, and new markets fueled exploration and colonization, allowing them to expand their empires and increase their influence. Additionally, wealth was often tied to social status and political power, driving competition among nations. This quest for dominance shaped global interactions and had lasting impacts on world history.
