Best Answer

Europeans went through periods of Social-Darwinism, in which they believed Europeans were the dominate race. This caused Europeans to conquer peoples' lands all over the world. They also used to acquire wealth and power and labor by doing so. And at the same time, they were trying to spread Christianity along with other ideas.
