mercantilism
1- The colonies offered political freedoms not found in European countries. 2- European countries could sell colonial goods in Asia. 3- Colonies provided manufactured goods for European countries. 4- Colonies provided cheap raw materials for European nationa.
Countries that were colonized by European nations had the benefit of a military presence that less developed nations did not have access to. However, these same nations had to fight for independence from the colonizing nation to benefit from the resources that were previously taken away and sent to the homeland.
Extracted resources from their colonies
European countries benefited from mercantilism by maximizing their wealth and power through strict regulation of trade and colonial expansion. By accumulating gold and silver and establishing colonies, they ensured a favorable balance of trade, exporting more than they imported. This system allowed them to control resources and markets, fostering national industries and increasing state revenues. Ultimately, mercantilism enabled European nations to enhance their geopolitical influence and assert dominance over global trade routes.
The mercantilism system was an economic system prevalent in the 17th and 18th centuries. It relied on the European countries deriving wealth from their colonies.
