The Three G’s: God, Gold, and Glory As European powers grew, the quest to expand their empire came from three main sources: God Glory Gold

GOD Europeans sent out missionaries to convert the “savages” to Christianity. Cortes: “natives (should be) introduced to the holy Catholic Faith” Converting the “heathen” was a motive for international exploration and domination

GOLD European explorers were interested in finding goods (spices, natural resources, etc.) that they could take back to Europe and sell. Find precious metals. Gold always popular; silver becoming a hot commodity

GLORY European explorers wanted to claim land for their supporting country and then receive a hero’s welcome when they returned from their voyage. Fame: go where no man (European) had gone before
