What do people think is the main motivation for building an empire.
Throughout the whole history of the human race, man has cooperated and conquered.
Clear motivations are:
>security of people
>wealth
>prestige
However to what degree does 'Prestige' or 'Imperium' influence a state or tribe to seek the means to colonise or build an empire.
Also to what degree does wealth come into it, yes it's very important and wealth was the reason more so as the seventeenth century endured, however wars are expensive and there's no guarantee of success.
Doing this topic for my dissertation at university. I'd be interested to hear all of your thoughts and opinions regarding this matter.
