The Portuguese established colonies in Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, and several other territories in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
The era of European colonization ended after WWII. Jamaica, for example, is no longer a colony, but an independent state that is part of a loose association of former colonies and the UK, known as the Commonwealth. If you are asking: why DID Europe colonize the Americas? It was to plunder their natural resources.
Spanish explorers established colonies in the Americas to expand their empire, spread Christianity, and find precious resources such as gold and silver. Additionally, they aimed to gain strategic advantages in trade and to establish a presence in newly discovered territories.
Sir Walter Raleigh became an explorer by obtaining a warrant from Queen Elizabeth I to search for new lands and establish colonies in the Americas. He was also interested in finding valuable resources such as gold and silver. His expeditions to the New World helped establish England's presence in the Americas.
They wanted to establish colonies because the pilgrams were being killed by the indies
France and the Netherlands took longer to establish colonies in the Americas due to several factors, including their focus on other regions and conflicts in Europe. Unlike Spain and Portugal, which were quick to exploit the New World after Columbus's voyages, both countries prioritized trade and colonization in Asia and faced competition from established powers. Additionally, internal political struggles and limited resources slowed their colonial ambitions in the Americas. By the time they began to establish colonies, much of the prime territory had already been claimed by Spain and Portugal.
Ministry of the Colonies - Italy - was created in 1912.
