Why did kings of France, England, and Spain urge exploration and settlement of the New World?

Answer:

The kings of France, England, and Spain urged exploration and settlement of the New World because they wanted to expand their empires by acquiring land.

Explanation:

In the 1400s, trade routes to China and the other eastern countries were cut for Europeans. It happened that the Muslim peoples, after several religious clashes in the Middle East, decided that no Christian kingdom could trade using its routes. This led to many European countries, mainly Spain, Portugal, France and England, deciding to explore various routes with the aim of reaching the east to trade with China and India, and obtain the precious spices that were highly valued in the European market.

This was how the Spanish kings financed the trip of Christopher Columbus, who in 1492 discovered the American continent. Once the Europeans became aware of the existence of this territory, and found that it did not belong to any of the known European kingdoms, they began to invade these lands and conquer them, seeking to obtain the maximum benefit from the natural resources available in the American lands.

I believe because they needed more land and wanted to discover something different and new.... To them, France is and was totally normal... To us it's facinating!! So on with England and such. But this was a whole big new WORLD for them!!! They wanted to start over and make it to where we are today..

How does the responsibilities of a Rancher change during Winter and Summer?
Ne4ueva [31]

The responsibilities of a rancher on these seasons are following:

Summer: Irrigation chores begin in mid-spring through about August. Ranch hands perform maintenance on ditches and pipes, making any necessary repairs. The workday lengthens from dawn until dusk, seven days a week. In the summer, ranch hands move cattle from pasture to pasture more often, as well, to prevent pastures from becoming overgrazed. The first cut of hay usually happens in June or July, and into August. The ranch hand preps, oils and checks that the haying equipment is in good working order.

Winter: Winter is mostly about maintenance. Ranch hands feed the cattle and livestock every day, since the pastures are usually frozen or blanketed with snow. Firewood collection continues. Maintenance and perimeter fence checks also continue through winter.
