In the 19th century, Europeans were present in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
It was the middle leg of the triangular trade route that Europeans followed.
From Europe, they brought textiles, run and manufactured good to Africa. From Africa, they bought slaves or simply took people and made them slaves, and brought them to the Americas. From the Americas, the Europeans brought back the sugar, tobacco and cotton.

The second phase of the triangle trade involved the transportation of enslaved Africans from Africa to the Americas to be sold as laborers on plantations. This phase was known as the Middle Passage.
In the triangular trade route, there were 3 main points of trading- Africa, Europe, and America. Manufactured goods went from Europe to Africa, slaves went from Africa to the Americas, and luxury goods from the Americas to Europe.
Nothing "made Europeans colonize"; it was an active decision that they chose to do. They did this for material resources, labor resources, prestige, strategic positions, and religious evangelism.
They settled mostly in Europe, the Americas, Australia and some pockets in Asia and Africa. (So yes... pretty much everywhere.)
