European Exploration and subsequent colonization were spurred on by several factors. Two of which are:

  • Greed: Every Ruler wanted to appear great, and expand the holdings and wealth of his throne. There was no more land in Europe, that could be gained without terrible war - Therefore they went off to find something easier.
  • Competition: If-everyone-else-is-doing-it-I-should-too kind of mentality. More complicated than that, of course.
