European powers colonized other countries because :-
★ The European states were better at making and using artillery, firearms, fortifications, and armed ships than powers in other parts of the world. Due to this, they had an advantage long before 1800 .
★ They possessed an undeniable comparative and absolute advantage, early.
★ Also, the Europeans had a cravingness to the goods from Asia, such as the silk, spices, and pottery that had for centuries traveled the Silk Road.
These are the main reasons why the Europeans powers colonized other countries.
