Which European policy is being described by these statements?
a. appeasement
b. mercantilism
c. regionalism
d. neutrality

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation: Mercantilism was the economic policy of England within the colonies. Development of colonial goods was highly discouraged, but of course later changed when England wanted things that could only be produced in America. However, discouragement of trade with other countries remained, but colonists always found ways to smuggle items, especially tea!
