Britain/UK/England
No, in England fewer then 5% of people owned land. In the colonies fertile land gave the colonist a chance to prosper.
yes it is
That was the time of the colonialism, so, all the European countries went on trying to get more land for its people because they had to get richer to not to get out of business. The England colonized the north America because of this reason, they established the thirteen colonies with a great strategy: the north colonies would serve like the headquarters of the metropole on the new continent and the ones by the south would be extractivists colonies. Then, the England could control the things in the north America, without being afraid of get out of business.
There are no more Portuguese colonies. Two countries that used to be Portuguese colonies are East Timor, where Portuguese shares official language status with the native Tetum; and Macau, where Portuguese shares official language status with Chinese.
Imperialism was basically the tension over colonies. This was a widely recognised reason for starting off WWI. Colonies were places that were taken in to control by other ruling countries. This made countries more powerful and dominant, so this is linked to alliances that were made back then.

Because the more land you owned the more powerful you were!!!
No doubt Asia is the biggest continent, featuring China, Russia, the middle eastern countries, and some more countries.
The obvious would be war, but more than that they can both be competing for the same resources. When you're just starting out on a continent you have to learn about the land, and when someone is competing for the resources with you it's much harder.
China is located in Asia, but there are way, way, way more than three countries in Asia.
