The colonization of the pacific islands was widely practiced throughout 1800-1900. Different nations seemed to have different motives and reasons to conquer the islands. One of the most popular, self-driven motive was probably the idea of superiority, along with the main reason that made the idea of colonization so convincing is that it is the way to show their power. Especially since the colonization period happened after the industrialization, which is a big advancement of Europe and that made they think that they are better and more capable now. The result is that they have the mindset that they are more advanced mankind and the idea of expanding their rich, developed culture, therefore they go on and colonize the “less” advanced people.
