may vary depending on the timeline but the European expansion was
originally done for three main reasons. These reasons are commonly known as the
three G’s or gold, glory and God. The Europeans wanted to look for more riches
such as gold, spices and other resources. To meet such needs, it was necessary
for them to sail across countries. In their travels, they also preached about
religion. The word ‘glory’ represents their need for power by colonizing new
lands.
