Reports of riches and resources--The Spanish and Portuguese reported of resources, riches, and land available for the taking. Competition for wealth motivated other countries to colonize. 

Mercantilism was the economic idea of the 15th century in which Europeans believed that there was only a set amount of wealth and for a country to "win" they had to grab up land and/or resources.

Churchill mentions that his “private ambitions have been satisfied beyond my wildest dreams” what does he mean ?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

He meant that his accomplishment are more than he had expected to accomplish

Explanation:

When Churchill mentions that his “private ambitions have been satisfied beyond my wildest dreams”.

He meant that his ambitions or desires have been accomplished more than he could ever think of or more than he had expected. This means that every position or role he has held is far more than what he expected of himself. Churchill might not have believed that his aims or ambitions in life will be achieved to that level or at that rate of progress.

For instance, Churchill held so many offices in his political career through appointment and election. He was a Member of Parliament from 1924 until 1964, home secretary, first lord of the admiralty, chancellor of the Exchequer, minister of defense, and prime minister from 1940 to 1945 and 1951 to 1955.
