The reason why Europeans seek the new continent.

Europeans didn't mean to look for the new world, but discovered it by accident. After the rise of Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Silk Road leading to China and India was blocked. The Turks either blocked the trade routes or charged high taxes and fees, which made the businessmen unprofitable. In order to obtain high profits, European businessmen hope to open up new maritime trade routes. Some of them bypassed Africa to India and China, such as Da Gama, and some crossed the Atlantic to China and India, such as Columbus. As a result, after crossing the Atlantic, they discovered a new continent, the American continent. When Columbus and others first arrived in Discovering America, they thought it was India, so they named the local people "Indians", which is now Indians.

So, Europeans discovered the New World, because they stumbled upon it when they opened up new trade routes to India and China.

Later, Europeans, especially the British, immigrated to the New World on a large scale for religious reasons. At that time, the English Puritans were severely suppressed and brutally persecuted at home, so they embarked on a long journey of emigrating to North America at the beginning of the17th century. They hope to believe in God according to their own wishes in the new world, put the true spirit of Christianity into practice, and build a "city on the top of the mountain for all to see".
