Answer:

extracting natural resources,  to explore routes to India fosterinig trade, establishing colonies

Explanation:

The Europeans ventured first into Africa, as it is the next continent (by definition) next to Eurasia. As trade first ocurred, they went to explore new trade routes. The known age of exploration, took many people willing to venture into the unknown and establish trade posts.

The Europeans quickly adopted a colonization process, enslaving people and taking away most of the key raw materials demanded in the European markets.

<u>The differences between the British and American forces at the beginning of the revolutionary war: </u>

The British Forces were seasoned army regulars while the American forces were a guerrilla force. The British had more experience in fighting the Indian Wars and the Anglo-French wars and were better prepared.  

The British wore formal uniforms and were battle-ready while the Americans predominantly comprised of peasants, labourers in ragged clothes and hid behind trees or concealed positions.
