What the other anons said, but also the main reason the public supported things like the Scramble for Africa was to help those poor negros, unironically. The policies were spurred on by stories of cannibalism and slavery (all true), and Europeans wanted to help them by taking control and giving them modern technology, rights, and Christianity. Publicly, it was an altruistic project. Privately, it wasted money except for making a few people on the ground rich.
