Valuable Natural Resources & products When valuable products were found, the kingdoms of Europe would set up colonies to send these products to Europe. Europe would get rich from products like gold, silver, and slaves from other parts of the world. ReligionMany European leaders believed it was a good idea to spread Christianity around the world. This spread the Christian religion, and also helped cause damage or destruction of native religions and culture.
