Answer 1

Mercantilism

Step-by-step explanation:

Mercantilism is a method in which a country tries to obtain wealth through its colonies by conducting trade. Britain being an empire, had to operate by keeping its prosperity stable, therefore began the system of mercantilism. The British took its 13 colonies in America as moneymakers. The British colonies required to provide raw materials (cotton, timber, fur etc.) to the mother country and in return, buy British produce goods.
