In the late 1800s, European countries built empires primarily through Imperialism and colonization, driven by economic interests, nationalism, and competition among nations. They established control over vast territories in Africa and Asia, often using military force, treaties, and diplomacy. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 is a notable example, where European powers divided Africa among themselves without regard for indigenous cultures or borders. This expansion was fueled by the Industrial Revolution, which created a demand for raw materials and new markets for manufactured goods.

Colonialism was crucial for European nations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as it provided access to vast resources, new markets for manufactured goods, and strategic military and trade positioning. The industrial revolution created a demand for raw materials, which colonies could supply, while also offering a venue for surplus goods. Additionally, colonial expansion was often seen as a measure of national prestige and power, with countries competing to build empires. This drive for expansion played a significant role in shaping global relations and conflicts during this period.
Military build-ups included increase of modern weapons; increased military budgets; build-up of navies, and fortification of boundaries.

The first European countries to build empires in the Americas were Spain and Portugal. Spain established a vast empire across much of South and Central America, as well as parts of the Caribbean, following Christopher Columbus's voyages in the late 15th century. Portugal, primarily focused on Brazil, began its empire in the early 16th century. Both nations played crucial roles in the early colonization and exploitation of the New World.
They fought wars and married the royal families of neighboring countries.
The reason that the Europeans wanted to claim and control land throughout the world were economic ones. In the new lands of the Americas and Africa, the Europeans were looking for gold, raw materials, and land possessions as a way to compete with one another.
