Explain the main social, political, and economic reasons why europeans wanted to colonize the african continent.

Europe wanted to colonize Africa during 1885-1910, the colonization of the entire continent lasted 25 years was a competition between European nations for the following factors:

Social factors: Industrialization brought to Europe social problems like unemployment, poverty, homelessness, and social displacement from rural areas, countries in Europe wanted to acquire new territories to send the surplus population they had that could not be absorbed in the new capital industry.
