Explanation:

The British Empire began to take shape in the early seventeenth century, through the establishment of the Jamestown colony in 1607, in Virginia by England, which would be the beginning of the Thirteen Colonies in North America, which were the origin of the United States as well as the maritime provinces of Canada. Colonization of small islands in the Caribbean Sea such as Jamaica and Barbados also took place.

The sugar producing colonies of the Caribbean, where slavery became the basis of the economy, were the most important and lucrative colonies for England. The American colonies produced tobacco, cotton and rice in the south, naval material and animal skins in the north.

The empire of England in America was gradually expanding through wars and colonies. England managed to control New Amsterdam (later called New York) after the Anglo-Dutch wars. The American colonies spread westward in search of new lands for agriculture. During the Seven Years' War, the English defeated the French and stayed with New France in 1760, which made England the owner of almost all of North America.
