European countries established colonies primarily through exploration, trade, and military conquest from the late 15th century onwards. They sent explorers to new territories, claiming land in the name of their monarchs, often using treaties or force to subjugate indigenous populations. Colonization was further facilitated by the establishment of trade routes, the extraction of resources, and the spread of European culture and religion. The competition among European powers fueled rapid expansion, leading to vast empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
