false (a country is only as strong as the stuff they can trade)
England used a plan known as mercantilism to keep it rich and strong. According to this plan, a country becomes rich by selling more goods to other countries than it buys from them, England applied this plan to the American colonies. In other words, Britain attempted to become more prosperous by selling more goods to the colonies than buying from them. Essentially, Britain forbade the colonies to buy from any other country to ensure their profits.
According to mercantilism, a country grew by increasing its wealth primarily through a favorable balance of trade, where exports exceeded imports. This was achieved by maximizing exports of goods and resources while minimizing imports, thereby accumulating precious metals like gold and silver. Additionally, strong government intervention was encouraged to support domestic industries, establish colonies for resource access, and implement protectionist policies, all aimed at enhancing national power and economic self-sufficiency.
Mercantilism involved strict governmental control over the colonies to maintain the largest margin of wealth possible. Such control required strong centralized governments rather than the small scattered kingdoms that had existed during the feudal era. As smaller kingdoms merged together to form nations under one ruler, they were better able to compete in the mercantilist system
England's pursuit of mercantilism led to the establishment of a strong centralized economy focused on accumulating wealth through trade, particularly with its colonies. This resulted in the expansion of the British Empire, increased naval power, and the implementation of restrictive trade policies that benefited English merchants. However, it also fostered tensions with colonies and rival nations, contributing to conflicts such as the Anglo-Dutch Wars and eventually the American Revolution. Overall, while mercantilism bolstered England's economic strength, it also sowed the seeds of dissent and conflict.
