The best example of this is the fact that England had almost completely stripped their own forests of trees large enough that they needed to build their ships. Their ships, at this time. were almost entirely made of wood. By creating colonies, they were able to have large supply of the type of trees that they needed. The colonists were forbidden to harvest the trees for their own use.
