A simple desire for money and power. If you have the power to control the supply of goods into a market by controlling the source of the goods then you also gain control over the price of those goods. As a result of using this force over people in less militarily powerful country's eventually a military and religious code forms that justifies the whole thing in the minds of the imperialists.
