Countries seek colonies primarily for economic gain, as they provide access to valuable resources, new markets for goods, and opportunities for trade. Colonization can also enhance national power and prestige, allowing countries to expand their influence and strategically position themselves on the global stage. Additionally, colonies can serve as outlets for population overflow and a means to spread cultural and political ideologies.
