During the Age of Exploration, Europeans began to colonize other parts of the world to increase their wealth and power. Colonization occurs when one nation takes complete control of the people of another nation or region. Do you think Europeans were right to colonize other people? Consider their world view at that time compared to our own. Is there some way the Europeans could have achieved their goals without colonizing other people?

Answer 2

With there world views as they were ok with slavery and such things into consideration they did what they thought was necessary though they most likely could have reached success without colonization but it in or human nature to be greedy so they also could have been morally corrupt back then also I believe that the colonization of the Americas possibly would have not happened if the natives where more established like Spain or China and had the current weaponry for there time meaning stronger army but other than greed thing are also heavily motivated by religion so for their time as most colonizers were Christian they were right to colonize for their moral standards but for today’s standards they are completely in the wrong
