One Reason many european countires colonized other lands and peoples is because many european

countries were running out of natural resources.

In europe by the 1500's and on, there was much deforestation and poverty, and the population was becoming too great for the land and government to handle.

By colonizing the americas , for example english, french, portuguese and spanish colonists were able to have new lands and opportunities, but in the process millions of native american's were killed enslaved intermarried, or forced to leave their land.

Indeed , the european colonization of the americas was perhaps the bloodiest and most horrific time in the human history.

Besides the genocide of native americans european colonists brought african slaves to the americans to work especially after finding out that native americans would just die in slavery.

Imagine this men who you've never seen before come to your house and your neighbors house and they all have as much weapons as they can carry.

Then they start killing or enslaving you your family and your neighbors.

And you and your family and your neighbors fight back but are crushed by the men's superior weapons.

And soon you and most of your family and your neighbors are gone--killed enslaved intermarried or forced to live somewhere else.

This is what colonialism it is death it is slavery it is the end of one group and the expansion of another group.
