America also had a lot of resources like bison for food, land for farming, forest for development, large river systems and etc. It was also believed it was a good trading spot for fellow trespassers like merchants and pirates. It was economically good for the center of the trading routes around the world and as it was large they thought it could be easy to spread their people around it as space was running out in England.

Explorers sought to conquer for several reasons, including the desire for wealth, access to new trade routes, and the expansion of their nation's power and influence. The promise of gold and resources, along with the competition among European powers, fueled ambitions for territorial expansion.

This quest for conquest was driven by a combination of economic, political, and religious motivations.
European nations sought to gain empires in the 19th and early 20th centuries primarily for economic, political, and strategic reasons. Colonies provided access to valuable resources, new markets for industrial goods, and opportunities for investment. Additionally, imperial expansion was driven by national pride and competition among European powers, as empires were seen as a measure of national strength and prestige. Furthermore, the desire to spread culture and religion also motivated many nations during this period.
Asian nations sought to isolate themselves from European interaction primarily to protect their sovereignty, cultural identity, and economic independence. Concerns about colonialism and the exploitation of resources drove many countries to limit foreign influence and maintain control over their own affairs. Additionally, the desire to preserve traditional social structures and values played a significant role in their decision to retreat from European engagement. This isolationist stance was often seen as a means to resist the encroachment of Western powers during the age of imperialism.

The reason that the Europeans wanted to claim and control land throughout the world were economic ones. In the new lands of the Americas and Africa, the Europeans were looking for gold, raw materials, and land possessions as a way to compete with one another.
President James Monroe aimed to stop European colonial expansion and interference in the Americas, which he articulated through the Monroe Doctrine in 1823. This policy declared that any European attempts to colonize or interfere with nations in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as acts of aggression, prompting U.S. intervention. Monroe sought to protect the newly independent nations in Latin America and assert the United States' influence in the region.
