2. The G.I. bill provided loans to military veterans, so this also helped them be able to afford "the American dream" of home ownership.
3. The construction of highways facilitated travel into the cities for work from the suburbs. (Note that the Federal Aid Highway Act was passed in 1956.)

After Britain lost American colonies they gained a few new colonies in other areas. In 1713 Great Britain acquired the French colony of Arcadia and soon after the colony of Canada. Also in 1763 Britain acquired the Spanish colony of Florida but the main place where they were able to gain new colonies was in Australia. So although they lost some colonies in America they were still able to acquire others elsewhere like in Australia.
