A large reason for why European countries colonized places in Africa and Asia was for resources. Land also equated to power. Colonization often lead to a boost in economies.

Ex. As the Industrial Revolution came, machines needed more materials, like rubber. So instead of paying or trading for this commodity, countries often resorted to colonization.
