Which countries were the colonists/imperialists which were the ones being invaded or controlled; why did these countries want
to build colonies?
The period between 1750 and 1918 was dominated by the imperialist expansion of some countries. This was not always the result of invasion.
Countries with colonies overseas usually had supplies of raw materials. They were also valuable markets in which to sell the products manufactured from
those materials. Colonies around the world allowed imperialism to flourish. The colonies had the culture, economic and political systems of the colonising
power imposed on them.
Countries which were the colonists were Netherlands, Britain, French, Russia, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany and Belgium. The counties being controlled were Asia, Africa, New Guinea, Australia, and India, North and South America and some parts of Europe
