In addition to any intrinsically valuable commodities (gold, silver), the colonies also provided
The desire for overseas colonies in Germany was largely championed by figures like Kaiser Wilhelm II and various nationalist groups during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They believed that acquiring colonies would enhance Germany's status as a global power and provide economic advantages. This imperial ambition was part of the broader competition among European nations for colonial dominance, particularly in Africa and Asia.
To provide a precise answer, I need to know which specific nations you are referring to. Conflicts can arise in various regions, such as border disputes, resource competition, or ideological differences. Please specify the nations in question for a more detailed response.
The Navigation Acts were an attempt to put the theory of Mercantilism into practice in the British colonies. The object of mercantilism was to minimize imports that cost the nation money, and maximize exports that made the nation money. Colonies were a means of reducing England's dependence on foreign nations. Each colony would provide a raw material to England and this would allow the nation to not have to purchase that product from another nation. By establishing colonies loyal to the Crown, Great Britain would be expanding a dependable market for the finished products coming out of British industries. The Navigation Acts required that all colonial trade be carried in vessels built and owned by English or colonial merchants. The ships had to be manned by crews composed of British seamen. The Acts also required that European nations must sell products to the colonies by first stoping at English ports where they would have to pay a customs duty (tax). The products were checked and then were permitted to travel to the colonies. All products had to go through these ports controlled by England. This made the cost of the product more expensive but protected the trade of Great Britain. Certain materials from the colonies could only be shipped in British or colonial ships and had to be sent to England first. The product was then taxed and allowed to be sent to its destination in whatever European nation. Colonial products could not be shipped directly to any foreign nation.
After World War II, the United Nations was empowered to promote international peace and security, prevent future conflicts, and foster cooperation among nations. Its founding charter emphasized the importance of human rights, social progress, and economic development. Additionally, the UN aimed to provide a platform for dialogue and diplomacy to resolve disputes and promote global stability.
they provided Sugar, Tobacco, cotton these are the main things but there were many more. Most of these were made by the slaves!
these governments generally provide more services.
sources of raw materials and markets :)
To get colonies to serve as army bases, and to provide raw materials
The economic system that drove European nations to create colonies in the New World was mercantilism. This system emphasized the accumulation of wealth, primarily gold and silver, through a favorable balance of trade and the establishment of colonies that could provide raw materials and serve as markets for finished goods. European powers sought to increase their national wealth and power by exploiting colonial resources and expanding their trade networks, ultimately leading to competition and conflict among nations.
To provide labor for the colonies.
In general, raw materials. For example, cotton and run were in demand. I was told that once cotton could be "bleached" white, its demand heavily increased.
The same then as now: to provide the local and/or wider community with food. The main difference between then and today (at least in industrialized nations) is that today's farmers are much fewer but those remaining produce on a much larger scale and with a much higher return in crops.
Why did Spain turn to Africa to provide labor for its Americas Colonies?
great britain expected the Thirteen colonies to provide its factories with?
European nations wanted the captured Africans to provide labor for their colonies in the Americas, working on plantations and in mines. This demand for labor was driven by the lucrative trade in commodities such as sugar, coffee, and tobacco.
The Navigation Acts did not specifically provide for direct or indirect taxes on the colonies. Instead, they were designed to regulate colonial trade and ensure that it benefited England economically. The main goal was to restrict trade with other nations and enforce the use of British ships for shipping goods, rather than imposing taxes directly.
