As one of the chief naval powers of that time, Spain funded Christopher Columbus’ planned voyage to the East by traveling west, never expecting that there was a whole new continent between the Spanish coast and Southeast Asia.

What all starts the invasion of the Americas by the Europeans was the desired improvement of trade routes between Asia and the European nations. Essentially European nations wanted to find quicker ways to get to the resources of Asia and at cheaper cost, because going by land was dangerous and also took longer, while the water route that would go around the African continent would be too long.

Even though English colonists thought that traveling to the new world was dangerous, they still did it. Over the period of exploration, a few people died on their journey to the new world.
