Before the English headed for America, several key events shaped their motivations and actions. The late 16th and early 17th centuries saw increasing competition among European powers for trade and territory, spurred by the Age of Exploration. England faced economic pressures, religious conflicts, and overpopulation, prompting many to seek new opportunities abroad. Additionally, the successful establishment of colonies by Spain and France inspired English ventures, leading to the establishment of the first permanent English colony at Jamestown in 1607.
