Explanation:
The reason why the places, Africa and Mexico, would be the correct answer because the Europeans found these places was very rich in certain items and materials.
Why they established colonies in Africa:
The reason why European decided to colonize Africa was because Africa had a very specific material that the Europeans found to help out their colony, and that was Metal. Africa was pretty much known for the amount of metal it had, and the Europeans wanted to utilize it. The Europeans spread their colony into Africa so they can get the natural resource, metal, and take it back to Europe. Metal was a rich natural resource that everyone wanted during the new imperialism, specifically during the time of the industrial revolution. They were part of what was known as the "Scramble for Africa."
Why they established colonies in Africa:
The reason why Mexico would be another place the Europeans decided to colonize was because Mexico was rich in oil and crops. Oil is a very expensive and rich resource that everyone wanted to get a hold of, and Europe was one of them. Oil could be used for many things, and Europe wanted to have a lot of it to help out their industries. Because of how rich the natural resource is, Europe decided to establish a colony there. Mexico also had a lot of crops, which made it easy for people there to get a hold of some food, and that benefited the Europeans because they had a food source and didn't have to really worry about not having enough food to survive.
