Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
European nations thought that they were Superior racially and culturally and were destined to rule those "savage" natives, who lived in all the other different areas of the world!.
And for a long time, the Europeans imposed Imperialism and segregation on the native peoples of Africa,South America and Asia!.
After hundreds of years of being forced to work for the Europeans, those "savage" natives got mad and wanted to be free people in their own countries!. So they fought their oppressors and eventually won their freedom!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hello,

Here's a different way of seeing it!.

White Man's Burden and Social Darwinism were 19th century ideas!.
That said the English under Cromwell were very displeased with the troublesome Papist Irish who were little better to them than n words with white skin!. Thousands had to be shipped out of Ireland so the English would have their lands there and they were shipped to the West Indies to work as slaves of slaves!. More sugar plantations for the Irish meant more space was needed and thereby taken!.
