Correct! Europeans used the idea of eugenics to justify colonization and imperialism by believing they were racially superior. This belief in their racial superiority validated their right to take the land and resources of other cultures. They argued that they were more advanced and civilized, and therefore had the right to bring their civilization to "lesser" cultures. Eugenics provided a pseudo-scientific justification for their actions, as it promoted the idea of improving the human gene pool through selective breeding and the elimination of "inferior" races. This ideology allowed Europeans to view their colonization efforts as a form of "improvement" for the world and as a way to spread their supposed racial superiority.
