Well, many nations wanted to explore and profit from trade in the new world. The French specifically wanted to use America to sell fur and make a profit from it, and they explored and settled large tracts of land. However, because of the Protestant Reformation, the edict of Fontainebleau, and the intolerance of Huguenots, many French were also fleeing France for the same reason that people were fleeing England. Religious intolerance brought many, many people to the Americas.
