Why did Westerners colonize West and South Asia?

Sagot :

Answer:

Before the Industrial Revolution in the mid-to-late 19th century, demand for oriental goods such as porcelain, silk, spices and tea remained the driving force behind European imperialism. The Western European stake in Asia remained confined largely to trading stations and strategic outposts necessary to protect trade.

WHY DID WESTERNERS COLONIZE WEST AND SOUTH ASIA?

They wanted to gain monopoly over the spice trade as this trade was very valuable to the Europeans due to high demand for various spices such as pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

They also demand for oriental goods such as porcelain, silk, spices and tea.
