When did the spanish colonize in Florida?
While Juan Ponce de León is given credit for discovering and naming La Florida ("the land of flowers") in 1513, he is also remembered for his failure to establish Spain's first North America colony in 1521 near present day Tampa Bay. His party was attacked and Juan Ponce was killed by local Calusa natives. In 1526 La Florida Governor Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón established the first Spanish colony, San Miguel de Gualdape, on South Carolina's coast but disease, starvation and a bitter winter forced its few survivors to return to Santo Domingo. Ayllón's replacement as governor of La Florida, Pánfilo de Narváez, sailed from Spain for Hispaniola ["Mother of America"] with a fleet of five vessels and 600 soldiers to conquer the Gulf Coast near Pensacola. He too failed and others thereafter (including Hernando de Soto) until Supreme Commander Pedro Menéndez founded St. Augustine in 1565 (the oldest city in USA), routed French Huguenots at Fort Caroline and founded San Mateo (near Jacksonville, FL). Menéndez established his capital for La Florida at Santa Elena [Parris Island, SC] and ordered Captain Juan Pardo to marched northward (following De Soto's path) into the Carolinas and eastern Tennessee, building forts 1567-1568 along the way to claim this land for King Phillip II. This adventure also failed and Spain retreated into Florida and the Gulf Coast thus allowing England to arrive on the Atlantic coast.

Why did Japan colonize the Philippines?
The Japanese began to colonize the Philippines because they were running out of space and resources. Their country is four big islands that were recently formed by volcanoes, meaning that they have limited mineral and metal resources. This forced the Japanese to colonize and attempt to take over other nations, such as the Philippines, which has a number of these resources. Also, the Philippines serves as a gateway to conquer Southeast Asia, which Japan proceeded to do once the Philippines were conquered.
What reason did the Europeans want to colonize Nigeria?
The Brits wanted oil. Also, they were competing against other European countries for occupation of Africa. Europeans saw Africa as a "Gold Mine," especially economically. Africa had diamonds, gold, silver, herbs, and slaves to be bought. A country with control of Africa would greatly increase their power just before WWI.
Slave trade was part of the reason they were there originally... yes, it was out of the question in 1901.. but they may have not jumped on Nigeria had it not been for slaves prior to 1901 and we may be talking about why the French colonized Nigeria.
