Nothing "made Europeans colonize"; it was an active decision that they chose to do. They did this for material resources, labor resources, prestige, strategic positions, and religious evangelism.
Ideas of making money from minerals, agricultural products and free land.
Resistance by Africa,difficult geography and diseases kept Europeans from moving into the interior of Africa.
Because the French did not colonize South Africa.
Europeans were able to colonize Africa without fighting with one another.
No they did not. They colonize them to bring slaves from Africa there to work. The fertile soil and plenty of resources are there. The europeans would then ship the produce back to Europe and sell them
Because of god
THEY COLONIZE AFRICA BCAUSE THEY HAD MORE MONEY AND STUFF THE COULDNT AFFORD^^^Firstly, this question is misleading because it wasn't "easy" to colonize Africa. They colonized Africa, possibly catalyzed by the internal oppression (religious, gender, etc.) within Europe during that era in history. There was wide spread greed and corruption which spilled over into the continent of Africa. It was the first leg in the Trans-Atlantic Enslavement.Another possibly reason was the ego-centric culture of the [ancient] Europeans. At the time, most europeans were [still] ignorant to the full histories and cultures of Africa. They still thought the world was flat, for crying out loud./They incorrectly credited the Greeks with the foundation of civilization. This was because the Greeks incorrectly credited Socrates, Aristotle, Plato and others (not before condemning and exiling them for bringing and teaching foreign ideals to Greece). Indeed they get credit for founding civilization in Europe, but those very first Greek philosophers received their knowledge of mythology, philosophy, science, etc. from the ancient Egyptians of Africa./It's 2012 AD, let's stop teaching our children fabrications, half-truths and lies.
