COLONIZATION
What
are
Colonists?
People

leave
their
countries
and

are
called

A

is
a
settlement
governed
by
another
country.
Why
Colonize?
Europeans
established
colonies
in
the
New
World
in
the
1500's
and
1600's
for
many
different
reasons:
•
The
Spanish
were
searching
for
wealth
for
their
country
and
converts
to
their
religion.
•
The
French
were
trying
to
get
rich
by
fur
trading.
•

were
searching
