Best Answer

For financial reasons and to expand their mercantile resources.

The main reason the Dutch came to New Netherland was for the fur trade with the Native Americans.

The colony was originally established as a business venture to enable the Dutch West India Company to take a share of the trade in North American furs.

The Dutch settled New Amsterdam to expand their commercial and mercantile network.
