In other words, our guiding question is, “How did the Pacific world change from its own pace of historically unfolding contexts to one that involved European colonialism and ultimately imperialism across approximately two centuries?” Our deeper purpose is two-fold: to examine how Europeans’ motives for sailing the Pacific Ocean underwent change as society itself changed back home in Europe, as well as to study broader processes of inter-cultural contact.
