What do you think? How did the Crusades influence European colonization projects?
Explain the relationship between religion, commerce, and conquest at the beginning of European exploration and colonization.
Imagine you are a European explorer in the 1400s. Do you think you would be most motivated by religious conversion, global market opportunities, or competition with other European nations? Why?

So this is the begging of Europe's colonial era. It started out as searching for new trade routes to India and china because the Ottomans would restrict trade through the silk road. So they would go around Africa, often setting up ports and trading posts along the way, which was the start of African colonial colonization. Personally, I would be motivated by the money that can be made in the spice trades and silk and fine china sales.
