Fishing and fur trade

Explanation:

The French conquered North America to establish trading centers for the fur trade. Some French ministers ultimately reached North America to turn Native Americans to Catholicism. In North America, Dutch (Netherlands) merchants organized themselves on Manhattan Island initially. The initial purpose of Dutch (Netherlands) colonization was to locate a route to Asia through North America. However, after noticing the fur trade profitable, the Dutch took the area of New Netherlands. The Dutch Republic rose as a vital business center in the 1600s. Its navies utilized the waters of the Atlantic as other Dutch (Netherlands) ships cruised to the Far East, returning with prized spices sold in the bustling harbors at home, particularly Amsterdam.
