How many Jews were there in Elizabethan times?
Legally, none; Jews were expelled from the Kingdom in the 12th century and not officially readmitted until Cromwell's Republic, in the 1650s. There was a small number of Jews in London, however - who had to keep their religion quiet or pretend to be converts; Queen Elizabeth's physician Lopez (executed in 1594) was famously a Marrano (Portuguese) Jew. Because of the secrecy, we will never know exactly how many Jews were in Elizabethan England, but the number is certainly to be reckoned in the hundreds rather than thousands.
How did Britain feel about Jews?
Without the British stand in WWII it is debatable that any Jews would be alive today.If the British had lost the Battle of Britain then most Jews,maybe all, would have been destroyed, along with many other groups of people.Jewish people should be very aware of this and thankful to the British,and Polish, fighters who defeated Hitler at the Battle of Britain.____"Jewish people should be very aware of this". Britain was not fighting to save Jews, and the liberation of the camps was a by-product of the Allied victory over Germany.Having said that, I would add that late in 1942 there was some public discussion in the media in Britain about what might be done to help the Jews - and in November 1942 the News Chronicleactually described what was happening to the Jews as a holocaust ... (It was the first time this word was used in this context). However, attention shifted to other matters.
How did the navigation acts on the 1650s affect colonies?
The colonists were outraged. But they mainly just ignored the acts. If they needed to trade something they just smuggled it to where it needed to go. The colonists knew that the king wanted to control their trade and that made them angry. They believed that they did not belong to the king and therefore should not have to answer to a ridiculous set of laws. But it hurt their economy badly for those who obeyed the acts. Because the Navigation acts stated that the goods going to and from the colonies had to be brought in on English ships and 75% of the crew had to be English Because the goods had to come in on English ships the owners of English ships made the colonists pay way more because they were the only ones who could take the product to England and then where ever they needed to go. The governor of Massachusetts said that his colony would not follow the acts.
