Europeans sought to live on land occupied by First Nations primarily for economic reasons, including the pursuit of resources such as fur, timber, and agricultural land. They believed in the concept of manifest destiny, which held that they were destined to expand and civilize new territories. Additionally, European powers aimed to establish colonies to enhance their political and military influence. This often led to conflict and displacement of Indigenous peoples, as their rights and ways of life were disregarded.
