Which countries explored the Americas? Spain France Portugal Great Britain Netherlands (Dutch) All of these countries had a monarchy (government ruled by a king or queen)

What were European monarchs hoping to achieve through exploration? Monarch were trying to build empires. Monarchs believed that by building empires, they were acquiring more land, which would lead to more goods, and in turn, more money. Empire = Land Land = More goods More goods = more money

What were European monarchs hoping to achieve through exploration? This, however, was very risky Monarchs hoped for a positive return on their investment This means that the monarchs were willing to spend a little (funding expeditions by buying supplies/ships) in the hopes they would get a lot more money back (in the form of gold and valuable goods)
