Europe had several reasons for wanting to dominate Africa and Asia. For one, it would result in profit for European countries, such as resources and labor. Europeans also believed in Social Darwinism, in which they thought Europeans were the superior race. The Great Powers in Europe were also competing for power, and thus were competing for land and colonies. Some other minor reasons include the spreading of Christianity and to explore unseen lands, mainly in Africa.
