The single most prevalent reason that many Europeans left their continent was to escape religious persecution. There were also the adventurers who were true explorers, and dedicated their lives to exploring the new world (the Americas), discovering indigent peoples, mapping the geography they discovered, and naming the new places, animals, and plant life they never had seen before. Another motivation for the leaders of the countries that finanaced expeditions was to accumulate more wealth and territory.
