Of course. While the areas may not have been resource rich like the Americas were to the Spanish and Portugese, these areas made their home countries rich in the sense that THEY had them rather than any other European race. Look at the race for Africa at the start of the 20th century. Do you think Britain did that so they could spend hundreds of thousands of punds administering anf defending desert land? No, it was so they had it, and not france, Germany or Italy.
