Answer: To force cultural changes and make everyone more similar.

Explanation: European settlers often tried to replace Indigenous and African languages, religions, and customs with European ones (e.g., conversion to Christianity, European schooling, dress, and laws) to control populations and standardize society. They did not aim to preserve those cultures, and “building stronger relationships” was usually not the true motive.
