In the 17th and 18th centuries, mother countries utilized colonies primarily for economic gain through the extraction of resources, such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton, which were then shipped back to Europe. Colonies served as markets for manufactured goods produced in the mother countries, fostering a mercantilist system that aimed to increase national wealth. Additionally, colonies provided strategic military and naval bases, enhancing the mother country's global influence and security. Overall, they were integral to the economic and geopolitical ambitions of the European powers of the time.
