There were many reasons to the colonization of Africa. Europeans mainly saw it as an opportunity to gain power, wealth, resources, labor, trading partners, etc. as well as an an opportunity for exploration and spreading Christianity. Europeans were also experiencing an era of Social-Darwinism, where they believed Europeans were superior to all others and should thus dominate.
