Stacy · Answer 1

D. Europeans established new colonies in the lands of the New World.

Explanation:

When Europeans "discovered" new lands in the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, their primary goal was to establish colonies to enrich the mother country.

The idea was to force the native peoples to work in extractive industries such as mining, or plantations, and in case the native peoples were not enough, to import slaves to the colonies.

Some other colonies were founded with other intentions, especially in North America, where several colonies started as religious communities.
