Okay so should I put:
Britain, France and Spain wanted to risk their money to explore the new world because they were trying to spread their beliefs and get more land. They also wanted to find to find nice treasures that would gain them glory and money, which were things like salt and gold.
They all spent their time in North America, in areas like Spanish Texas, Louisiana and in Saint Louis.

I'm well aware this is cheating, so is everyone else. That is obvious. So, what are you going to do about it? This is the internet which we can manipulate so much better than you.
I advise the other teenagers on here to stop acting like idiots and get a unique internet alias/username. Usernames are fun. :)
Sure, I can help you understand the different reasons European nations had for exploration and provide examples specific to Spain, France, and Britain. I'll also explain where they chose to settle while exploring and why they settled these particular areas.
European nations had various motives for exploration during the Age of Exploration. Some common reasons included seeking new trade routes to Asia, spreading Christianity, acquiring wealth and resources, and extending political power and influence. Now, let's look at the examples specific to Spain, France, and Britain:
1. Spain:
One of the main reasons for Spanish exploration was the desire to find new trade routes to Asia, especially for valuable spices and luxury goods. They sought to bypass the Ottoman Empire, which controlled the existing land routes, by sailing westward across the Atlantic Ocean. An example specific to Spain is the journey of Christopher Columbus in 1492, who was financed by the Spanish crown to find a new route to Asia but instead arrived in the Americas.
2. France:
France had a primary objective of expanding its colonial empire and exploring North America. French explorers aimed to search for resources, establish fur trade networks, and spread Catholicism. An example specific to France is the exploration of Jacques Cartier, who sailed up the St. Lawrence River in 1534 and claimed much of present-day Canada for France.
3. Britain:
Britain, similar to other European nations, sought to expand its territory, resources, and trade. They focused on exploring North America for opportunities in fishing, fur trade, and agriculture. An example specific to Britain is the settlement of Jamestown in 1607, located in present-day Virginia, United States. The English established this colony primarily for economic reasons, hoping to find gold and other valuable resources.
As for where they chose to settle during their explorations and why, here is an explanation:
Spain focused on settling and colonizing areas in Central and South America, such as present-day Mexico, Peru, and the Caribbean. These regions were rich in resources, including gold and silver, which Spain sought to exploit for economic gain.
France chose to settle in regions of modern-day Canada, particularly along the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. These areas were abundant in fur-bearing animals, which could be traded with Europe for profit. The French also established settlements in the Mississippi River valley as they sought to control the interior of North America for trade and territorial expansion.
Britain settled along the eastern coast of North America, primarily in areas that are now the northeastern United States, like Virginia, Massachusetts, and New York. They chose these locations for several reasons: access to natural resources, opportunities for trade with Native American tribes, and the potential for establishing profitable agricultural colonies.
In summary, the European nations had different reasons for exploration, ranging from finding new trade routes and acquiring wealth to spreading Christianity and expanding territories. Spain, France, and Britain all settled in specific areas that suited their goals, such as Spain focusing on Central and South America, France in Canada and the Mississippi River valley, and Britain in the eastern coast of North America.
Why did Britain, France, and Spain spend so much money and time to risk exploring the New World.
Where did explorers from each country live while they were exploring?
Each country wanted something different. For instance, Spain wanted glory and money. What did Britain want? What did France want?
Spain didn't spend all of its time in North America. Where did the British live? Where did most of the French live in the early days?
