Explanation:

The European powers were in a stage of time in which imperialism and colonization was the most efficient way to win advantage over their enemies to prevent further attacks. The English and the Spanish had fought battles for centuries and they had to provide blood bonds to the French to avoid attacks from them. Also, when they tried to colonize Africa, they found out the Arab empires were stronger than them and they ended up being conquered. Also, they couldn't get anything from India or china. They only managed to establish control over the Philippines, while the English and the french had very meaningful colonies.
