British mercantilist policies were economic strategies employed from the 16th to the 18th centuries aimed at increasing national wealth through a favorable balance of trade. These policies emphasized the importance of exporting more than importing, often leading to the establishment of colonies to secure raw materials and markets for British goods. The British government implemented tariffs, monopolies, and navigation acts to control trade and maintain economic dominance. Ultimately, these policies contributed to tensions with the American colonies, culminating in the American Revolution.
