Why Europeans Nations Created Colonies?
Because they (Europe) could get certain goods from there (the Americas), and with wealth came power. An example of that was New France in the 1600-1700s when France started a colony in Canada (which later expanded into what used to be called Louisiana Territory). Its main purpose was for the fur trade. And as a random fact, the French actually learned and allied with one of the Native Americans in the area. Another purpose for European colonies in the Americas was for religious freedom. An extremely popular example is Plymouth, settled in present day Massachusetts in 1620 by the Pilgrims.

Which countries colonized North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa?
When examining colonial Africa, Britain and France were the two major European powers involved in the colonization of Africa. Although the Germans, Belgians, Italians, and Spanish all had claims, they were for the most part minor in comparison to the African ambitions of Britain and France. France predominantly focused upon colonizing North Africa, especially along the Mediterranean and West Africa, extending down into the northern regions of what is characterized as Sub Saharan Africa. The British colonized Sub Saharan Africa vigorously, but also pursued colonial aims in North Africa. Egypt was a major British colony in North Africa. France pursued a policy of creating a West to East African colonial empire, while the British focused on a North South axis of colonization. The two empires collided in the Sudan, which ended with France being expelled from modern day Sudan, and firmly entrenching Great Britain as the most powerful European power in Africa. The Belgians held small colonial claims in the Congo, and Italy had small claims along the East African Coast, present day Eritrea. Spain held a small colony in present day Mauritania, named Rio de Oro. Madagascar was colonized by the Portuguese. Germany held relatively small claims in southeast Africa, which were increased under the rule of Bismarck following the Franco-Prussian War. Overall, however, North Africa is usually associated with the French, while Sub Saharan Africa was largely controlled by the British.
