The main goal was economic, was to extract resources from the colony, and take them to the mother country (the European power). These resources could be gold, silver, sugar, tobacco, cotton, and so on.

This goal was achieved by all European Powers, in many cases for hundreds of years. European powers benefited from this extraction of resources up to this day.
