They wanted to find wealth and in order to do that they had to look overseas for it and into other countries and even continents
Europeans established trade networks between Europe and the Americas.
Several historical events and developments spurred Europeans to explore beyond their borders, including the Renaissance, which fostered curiosity and advancements in navigation and shipbuilding. The fall of Constantinople in 1453 redirected trade routes and heightened competition for access to Asian goods. Additionally, the desire for wealth, particularly in spices and precious metals, fueled exploration, alongside the quest for new territories for empire-building and the spread of Christianity. These factors combined to create a fervent age of exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries.
When Europeans first began to explore the New World in the late 15th century, Africans were already being forcibly taken from their homelands and enslaved to work on plantations and in mines. The transatlantic slave trade grew significantly during this period, as European powers sought cheap labor to exploit the resources of the Americas. This resulted in the forced migration of millions of Africans, profoundly impacting both African societies and the development of the New World. The legacy of this exploitation continues to influence social and cultural dynamics today.

The "new world"
Europeans established trade networks between Europe and the Americas.
During the 15th and 16th centuries, Europeans were motivated to explore for several key reasons, including the pursuit of new trade routes to access valuable spices and goods from Asia, particularly after the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The desire for wealth, coupled with national competition and the spread of Christianity, spurred exploration efforts. Advances in navigation technology also made long sea voyages more feasible. Additionally, the Renaissance spirit of curiosity and discovery encouraged many to seek new lands and knowledge.
Europeans went on voyages of exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries in search of new trade routes to Asia, new sources of wealth, and opportunities for spreading Christianity. These voyages were also driven by competition between European nations to expand their empires and influence around the world.

Australia, on the other hand, was already inhabited by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years before European colonization.
