Why were European nations in a race to get to the New world?

European nations were in a race to reach the New World primarily for economic gain, driven by the desire for new trade routes, resources, and wealth, particularly in precious metals like gold and silver. Additionally, the competition for territorial claims and the spread of Christianity motivated countries like Spain, Portugal, France, and England to establish colonies. This quest for expansion was fueled by advancements in navigation and shipbuilding, allowing for longer voyages. Ultimately, the desire for power and prestige on the global stage further intensified this race among European powers.


Which race do Indo-Aryan belong to?

As it suggests, there are both European and Asian (Indian) components though not quite everybody in Europe is Indo-European, nor is everybody in India. There are even other Asian members now known only through the scripts they left, known as Tocharian Linear.
