Spanish and British colonization efforts were similar in that both sought to procure new lands and new resources for the benefit of each "home-country". The main difference between the two was that settlement was, from the start, the primary intention of the British colonizers, whereas it was a secondary activity for the Spanish. Thus, making the New World their home was always a British intent; it was an after-effect for the Spanish.
