What prompted the settlement of the new world ?

(Hope this helps can I please have brainlist (crown) ☺️)

Explanation:

The French were driven to explore and occupy North America by their desire for a northwest route to Asia and the booming fur trade in Europe. Under the reign of Francis I, major French exploration of North America started.

Because Europe had been concerned with internal battles and was slowly recovering from the loss of population caused by the Black Death, the quick rate at which it gained in riches and power was unexpected in the early 15th century.

The Ottoman Empire's hold on trade routes to Asia spurred western European monarchs to look for alternatives, which led to Christopher Columbus' travels and the unintentional re-discovery of the "New World."
