THE CONQUISTADORS WERE PROBABLY CLOSER TO PIRATES THAN WE REALIZE
SENT TO THE NEW WORLD AS DISPOSABLES
TO ENSURE OTHER EUROPEAN POWERS WOULD NOT GET THERE FIRST
IF THERE IS A GIANT POT OF GOLD IN MEXICO, THE POWER THAT GETS IT FIRST WINS
FRANCE, ENGLAND, ESPAIN
GERMANY WAS SORT OF IN THE RUNNING TOO, BUT MORE INTERESTED IN AFRICA
I always saw it that way. Maybe not in the proper sense, but it certainly was a power grab in context of the times and troubles of the day.
Perhaps akin to how business views the moon and Mars now.

I don't think Musk does things for the shits and grins of it, basically.
My take: colonialism in the "classic" sense, though, was spurred due to Europe tapping out on resources for, as you put it, an arms race.
Money, power, greed, etc all in the vacuum of Europe with nowhere else to go.
