The French settled in the southwest and California primarily to expand their fur trading operations and establish a presence in North America. They were attracted to the region's abundant Natural Resources, including fur-bearing animals and fertile lands. Additionally, they sought to spread Christianity among Native American tribes and to counter Spanish influence in the area. The exploration and settlement were also driven by the desire for economic gain and strategic territorial claims.
