Britain and France were interested in colonizing Southwest Asia primarily for its strategic geopolitical location and its rich Natural Resources. Control over this region allowed them to secure trade routes, particularly to India and the East, and access valuable resources like oil and minerals. Additionally, the desire to expand their empires and exert influence over rival powers drove their colonial ambitions in Southwest Asia during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This led to significant political and economic interests in the area, shaping the colonial landscape of the region.

i don't know specifics, but the reasoning for colonizing anything is to claim it as your own. claiming land gives you the "right" to call it your own (even though there are natives there) and you then establish control and power. if France "controls" land; they can tax it and build trade ports to benefit their home country.

Which two European nations most resented the Monroe Doctrine?

I'd go with France and Spain, the two European nations with the power and desire to continue colonizing the Americas.
