The Americas were highly desirable to Europeans due to their vast Natural Resources, including fertile land, gold, silver, and other valuable commodities. The potential for agricultural exploitation and the promise of new trade routes also attracted European powers seeking wealth and economic expansion. Additionally, the Americas presented opportunities for territorial expansion and the spread of Christianity, aligning with the broader goals of European nations during the Age of Exploration.
