or was the purpose to make sure Europeans didn't try to re-take over countries that they had formerly colonized.

We were kind of trying to ensure the possibility for expansion.  The Europeans were no longer allowed to colonize, it would be considered unfriendly action if they tried.  And the U.S. stated again it's desire for independence to strive as a nation by telling the Europeans and Britain that they didn't want them interfering in American affairs.  They wanted to remain neutral in Europes war and feared Britain's ulterior motive of thwarting U.S. expansion.

He wanted to conquer and rule Europe...that's not really like a tyrant...that's more along the lines of an Emperor who is expanding his empire.  He was not a great leader of France...he was a military conqueror.  (See George W Bush)

At the time of WWII the allies were very anxious to have the United States enter and aide in the conflict due to the fact that at the time it was one of the only countries with the resources to possibly wage a successful war against Germany.  Of course there is always politics in any conflict but the basic reason for the war was Germany's desire to conquer and rule countries and people that wished to maintain their own sovereignty.

The Concert of Europe was essentially a system of international order starting in 1815 among four of Europe's leading powers: Britain, Austria, Russia, and Prussia.  You are correct that it was intended to stabilize europe after the French Revolution and also to prevent similar revolutions which threatened the monarchical governments of those four powers.  It also is sometimes thought of as an early "balance of power" arrangement designed to check France's power.

They were meant to trade, transport goods, and bring people over from the other places of the world.

because they want to make friendship with some countries and it's good for their independence.

It's cultural. These countries didn't exist before colonialism, just a series of tribal areas constantly shifting. Colonialism brought many benefits but the tribes still existed within the new boundaries, as soon as we left greed and rivalry ensured a breakdown of all the structures. Our own borders took many hundreds of years to establish. It takes a long time to form a stable Nation. You can lead a horse to water .....

Otherwise it would be called a seperate country, soon or later.

I see your logic and there is some truth to what you are saying.  The patterns are there, but i would HIGHLY recommend you read the Book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by geographer Jared Diamond.  It is incredible and discusses these topics and more.  Like why were Europeans able to conquer the new world and colonize Africa, and the biological reasons, such as introduced species.  Its a thick read, but i believe it will offer you a solid base to draw some conclusions to your statements above.  Best of luck!\n\nAnd by the way these countries are now at war because they were colonies (google the berlin conference of 1834 , thats when they drew up arbitrary lines in africa and divided it up amonst eupean countries) and when the imperial powers gave them independence all infrastructure and government was removed and that has left these people in a power struggle ever since. The last colonie in africa gained independence in 1984.  these are recent struggles.  Apartheid just ended in S.Africa.

Long before any of those.  Check out what Mark Twain wrote about the US action in Cuba and the Philippines, way back in 1901.  Or Washington Irving on the treatment of the Native Americans.  It's been going on a long time.  (And no, I'm not saying that we Europeans are any better.)

It's because they tried to conquer Canada and Mexico in the past, they just never got over the fact that the whole continent isn't theirs.

because their own country doesn't have the problem of overpopulation and they assume they can apply their own standards on other people

History is not on their side.

Because a lot of world powers(the US, Germany, China, Italy, etc) were fighting in the war, and it wasn't just one country against the other.

I could easily agree with you on some places. British rule always made sure that things in these countries ran much smoother and the British protected those people from outside threats and civil enemies. And it is weird how all these 3rd world countries all seem to be packing old, rusty kalashnikovs... that last bit really made me laugh. One of the things I'll have to remember!!!! But now they are all moving into England and god help anyone who speaks up against them, because "it would be un-PC".
