As you look at world history, western civilization, and other perspectives to history, you will find that most countries reach a stage of needing more raw materials and more fear to protect their borders. England or British Isles are no different. For England to continue to grow economically they needed raw materials and after the Spanish War and Spanish armada. They realized that the answer was Colonization and their navy now could do this. They were only challenged by the French through the years. Compare Spain, Portugal, France, Japan, Germany, they are all examples of Colonization = "empire builders."

Also look at Cotton as an example of "raw Materials", and what England did with India a major source of cotton.
