A lot of reasons, most not good. In Vietnam, the French established rubber plantations, used the locals like slaves, and then wondered in the end why the Viets embraced communism and threw them out of their country. Michelin Rubber was the culprit. The Americans and a few allies tried to rectify that act of rebellion and got thrown out too. The morale: Don't make the Buddhists mad. In China, the British forced their way in to sell dope (opium). They took Hong Kong to make it easier. The Chinese have since reclaimed Hong Kong and armed themselves. So no one dares force their way in anymore. Morale: Don't make the Buddhists mad. And so on and on and on. Right now, the Euros and Americans are fooling with the Muslims. I think the lesson's going to be similar with a small difference in the morale: Don't make the Muslims mad.

Oh your question: they didn't want to colonize Asia, they just wanted their wealth.

Why do some geographers want to call Europe And Asia one continent?

Europe and Asia are not geographically continents, only politically.

Which means Eurasia has continental drift since it is a continent, while Europe and Asia are not (geographically speaking).
