European countries established colonies in the New World for reasons such as these:

1. To mine for precious metals or to use the colony as a base for stealing precious metals to ship back to Europe;

2. To expand their spheres of influence and by doing so increase their power;

3. As a base for military purposes against rival European powers; and

4. To use as a source for farmlands to produce needed products such as cotton.
