Great Britain, as with most of the Western European nations, saw colonization as a path to wealth and an extended base for more military power. If Great Britain chose not to use colonization, France and other Western nations would have had an excellent chance of surpassing Great Britain and marginalizing her to a second class world power. Great Britain and other nations realized that they would fall behind if the opportunities presented by colonization were not taken advantage of.
