2. Colonizers believed that people in colonies were more or less expendable and that they were often uneducated lower class and that they had the right to colonize them and introduce a civilization. Colonists wanted to be respected and to be free in the colonies and have their own sovereignty since they lived in the area.

Acquiring power was done through direct conquering, like sending military to take an area, or by trading and getting people to earn money which would provide them with political power, or by negotiating with locals who would give their land. Resisting power was difficult and people had to organize things like riots or protests or share propaganda among people in order to get them to join their cause.
