the first European colonization wave took place from the early 15th century (Portuguese conquest of Ceuta in 1415) until the early 19th century (French invasion of Algeria in 1830), and primarily involved the European colonization of the Americas, though it also included the creation of European colonies in India and other Asian countries (Spanish conquest of Philippines). The colonization of Africa largely did not take place during this era. During this period, European interests in Africa were primarily focused on the establishment of trading posts there, particularly for the Atlantic slave trade.
The second major phase of European colonization, which was primarily focused on Africa and Asia, is known as the period of the New Imperialism.

What are the reasons why Europe colonized Asia Africa and the Americans?
Well the continents were not colonized in the same time period, and they have different motives for colonizing. The Old Age of Imperialism was focused on the Americas, after Columbus had made his voyage. The motives for this were purely for resources, trade, power, etc. This time period was between the 1500s and the 1800s. Now the New Age of Imperialism, focused on Asia and Africa, was in the time period of 1700s(Asia)/1800s(Africa)-1900s. The same motives were present as in the Old Age, except there was more. The Europeans had a belief of Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism is the belief that only the strong will survive. The Europeans saw themselves as superior to the Asians and Africans and thus colonized their land.
