Power and Money.
European nations sought to gain empires in the 19th and early 20th centuries primarily for economic, political, and strategic reasons. Colonies provided access to valuable resources, new markets for industrial goods, and opportunities for investment. Additionally, imperial expansion was driven by national pride and competition among European powers, as empires were seen as a measure of national strength and prestige. Furthermore, the desire to spread culture and religion also motivated many nations during this period.
During the 1400s and 1500s, European explorers sought new trade routes to access valuable spices, gold, and other resources in Asia and the Americas. They aimed to expand their empires and spread Christianity, driven by a desire for wealth and power. Additionally, advancements in navigation and shipbuilding technologies fueled their ambitions for exploration and discovery. This period marked the beginning of significant global interactions and the age of colonialism.
