الحملات الأوروبية المبكرة لاستكشاف شمال الغرب الأمريكي

Abstract EN

The research dealt with the Europeans’ quest to explore the New World (the American continent).

The exploration campaigns began with the Spaniards, then followed by the English and the French, and competition took place between them in order to obtain wealth through the fur trade and the penetration into large lands with the help of the Indian tribes, and with the separation of the colonies from Britain until they were formed The United States, so its government began to think seriously about expanding in the American northwest and finding a waterway that would connect them to the Pacific Ocean, to consolidate its presence and increase its wealth by controlling large areas of it.
