Sorry if this type of post isn't allowed here but it's for an AP Euro project. I was wondering what the religious motives for the Dutch exploration were. I am really not coming up with many. The Dutch were very religiously tolerant at the time. They seemed to really only be concerned with trade. The two things I have is that the few that did flee were Mennonites, and that while they didn't really participate in much missionary activity, the Dutch East and West India Companies did take the Dutch Reformed Church wherever they went. Thank you for any replies.
