They never did; it was the Spaniards. The Philipinnes were to develop into a vital link in Spain's very profitable trade with the Americas and the Far East. But initially, the desire to bring Christianity to this part of the world was also a very strong motive.
The Greeks provided no assistance to Spain's attempts to colonize the Americas, parts of Asia, or Africa.
Jose Rizal predicted that the Philippines would be colonized by countries such as Spain and the United States. He also foresaw the possibility of the Philippines falling under the control of other major European powers during his time.
Miguel López de Legazpi initiated the colonization of the Philippines in the 16th century on behalf of Spain. He established the first Spanish settlement in Cebu in 1565 and later moved to Manila, gaining control through a combination of military force, alliances with local rulers, and the spread of Christianity. This colonization marked the beginning of more than three centuries of Spanish rule in the Philippines.
France did not colonize Cuba. Cuba was primarily colonized by Spain in the 16th century and gained independence from Spain in 1898.
Spain was the first European power to colonize California.

The Japanese began to colonize the Philippines because they were running out of space and resources. Their country is four big islands that were recently formed by volcanoes, meaning that they have limited mineral and metal resources. This forced the Japanese to colonize and attempt to take over other nations, such as the Philippines, which has a number of these resources. Also, the Philippines serves as a gateway to conquer Southeast Asia, which Japan proceeded to do once the Philippines were conquered.
