Many European countries were fighting for new land during periods like colonialism and Imperialism because they sought to expand their power, wealth, and influence. Acquiring new territories allowed these countries to gain access to resources, establish trade routes, and establish military bases, ultimately increasing their economic and political dominance. Additionally, competition among European powers fueled the desire for expansion as countries aimed to surpass their rivals in territorial control.
