Mercantilism is the belief that colonies exist for the benefit of the mother country.
Mercantilism is an economy theory practice that is based on the belief that capital and world trade was a fixed system. This was the belief that there were limited quantities of products available for use around the world. This is not a practice that is commonly used today.
Mercantilism operated as a push factor for European states during the Age of Exploration by promoting the belief that national power was directly linked to economic wealth, primarily through the accumulation of precious metals and trade surpluses. This ideology encouraged nations to seek new trade routes and colonies to access raw materials and expand markets for their manufactured goods. As competition intensified among European powers, the desire to secure resources and establish dominance further propelled exploration efforts. Ultimately, mercantilism drove states to explore and colonize distant lands to enhance their economic and political standing.
