Hi there!.
You will have to be more specific!
Some colonies, such as English in Virginia and Australia, were founded as naval bases and for trade!. Saxon colonies in England were to escape overcrowding back home!. America was mostly colonised by the disadvantaged of the world hoping for the chance to raise their lifestyle or to escape persecution!.
Roman colonisation was mostly for the loot to be had!.
take your pick!

On the other hand, a prolonged period of global peace might prove fatal to civilisation, if the result was a worldwide lack of interest in civil defence, inadequate funding for early warning systems and the dismantling of the only weapons capable of destroying asteroids and comets!. It would be ironic, indeed, if we could only save ourselves from a global mass extinction inflicted by nature by clinging to the human rivalries which have stimulated the arms race!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
