While the spread of Christianity was a motivating factor for some European colonizers, it was not a primary economic motive.

The Industrial Revolution led to an increased demand for both manufactured goods and raw materials, as factories needed raw materials to produce goods and consumers demanded more manufactured goods.

Gold, silver, spices, and sugar were all major sources of wealth for European colonizers.

The primary commodity that was traded from Africa to the Americas was slaves.

The enclosure movement led to both an increase in the cost of manufactured goods and a decrease in the demand for manufactured goods.

Colonialism provided European countries with both increased access to raw materials and expanded markets for manufactured goods.

The exploitation of cheap labor in colonies often led to increased profits for European businesses, but not to improved working conditions for colonial workers.

Colonialism had a number of major economic consequences for African countries, including the development of infrastructure, the introduction of new crops and technologies, and the exploitation of natural resources.

The economic motives for colonialism were primarily driven by the desire for profit, power, and prestige.

Colonialism had a major impact on the global economy, including the rise of capitalism, the development of the global market, and the Industrial Revolution.
