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.
they want the people from Asia and east Europe
Asia gave Europe silk and paper. Europe gave Asia tea
East Asia had resources that Europe did not, such as certain spices or silk.
because it was alot of diffrent trade problems and colonizing
Europe was not wanting to sell, but import items into Europe. They wanted the spices, gunpowder, silks, perfumes that Asia had to offer.
Because they couldn't get them in Europe.
they wanted the riches (gold, silver, and land )to add to their own treasuries.
UHHHHHH....well Turkey is in Asia as well as a small portion in Europe. I think the answer you want is to the question; what city in Turkey seperates Europe and Asia? The answer I guess is Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, but there is also a waterway separating the two continents.
Asia had lots of spices and other exotic goods like silk that they didn't have in Europe.
Europe and Asia are not geographically continents, only politically. Europe and Asia are physically attached to each other and form the larger continent of Eurasia, which geographically is a continent and not politically one. Which means Eurasia has continental drift since it is a continent, while Europe and Asia are not (geographically speaking).
France didnt want to only Belgian wanted to colonize congo
Africa Antarctica Asia Australia Europe North America South America Or if you want them backwards: South America North America Europe Australia Asia Antarctica Africa
