Jean Colbert, the French statesman and finance minister under King Louis XIV, was particularly impressed by the economic policies and administrative efficiency of the Netherlands. He admired the Dutch for their innovative trade practices, maritime prowess, and successful mercantilist strategies, which contributed to their wealth and power during the 17th century. Colbert sought to emulate these practices to enhance France's own economy and strengthen its position in Europe.

Jean de Verrazano was a French explorer who is credited with the first recorded European exploration of the Atlantic coast of North America, in 1524. He referred to the land he explored as the "New World" because it was unknown to Europeans at the time and represented a new land that was different from the "Old World" of Europe, Asia and Africa that they were familiar with. It was a new land and new opportunities. The naming of the "New World" was also driven by the Age of Exploration, the period of European history in which Europeans began to explore and colonize the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. This period was characterized by a spirit of adventure and a desire for wealth and power. Many explorers, including Verrazano, believed that the New World held untold riches and opportunities for those who could claim it, hence the name "New World".
