What were the various goals of the colonial European powers in the expansion of their empires? To what extent were they able to achieve these goals? Where did they fail?

The various goals of the colonial European powers in the expansion of their empires were:

This refers to the process of overtaking another country by a much more stronger entity who then rules over them.

With this in mind, we can see that European powers had different reasons for colonising smaller countries and the main reason was economic reasons.

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.

Another goal, but secondary, was to implant European culture in the colonies.

In some colonies, this was achieved, for example, the English colonies in North America, which is the origin of the United States, had a very western culture.

In other colonies, this was not achieved. For example, India was a colony of England, and while English culture has influenced India in some ways, the culture of Indian is still predominantly native.

the correct answer is "pioneers carried all of their possessions on long and dangerous trails".

the first wave of pioneers travelled in 1842. they were merely 100 people. the next year that sum climbed to 1000 men, women, and children. these people travelled around 2,000 miles to oregon in the hopes of a better life. although the first part of the trip didn't present many obstacles, as time and miles went by they learnt that threat came from simple things, like becoming ill due to unclean water or bad food.

the weather didn't much, as wagons couldn't protect them from storms. as they travelled through the desert, the intense heat caused wood to shrink. their own lips abscessed and split because of the dry air. the only cure for this was to rub axle grease on their lips.

even crossing rivers was dangerous. sometimes wheels were damaged by unseen rocks on shallow water. mud didn't much either. pioneers were afraid of indian attacks, but there aren't many records of fights between pioneers and native americans. accidents happened because of negligence, exhaustion, guns, and bad weather.

history says that 1 of 10 pioneers who travelled to oregon didn't survive the journey. diseases spread fastly because they didn't have doctors and medical care was ofently improvised. one of the most deadly diseases they came upon was cholera, which became a worldwide pandemia.
