∙ 7y agoEuropeans colonized for many more than just three reasons. The four primary reasons (and that is leaving many reasons out) that Europeans colonized were:
1) Wealth: This was colonization to extract wealth or resources from a target territory.
2) Strategic Positioning: This was colonization, primarily in the Old World, of a specific territory because of its proximity to a useful geographic feature or unconquerable nation.
3) Religious and Governmental Evangelism: This was colonization in order to spread Christianity and/or modern Western governance structure. It was usually couched as an effort to civilize the local barbarians.
4) Glory: Europeans who conquered on behalf of their mother countries brought prestige to those countries and honor and glory to themselves. The thought of being the toast of the town and a name etched in stone for eternity was very valuable to some.
