Answer:

The conquest of new lands directly contributed to the economic growth of nations since through territorial expansion new territories were acquired that included within themselves enormous amounts of natural resources.

Thus, for example, the territorial expansion of Spain during the conquest of America allowed the Spanish Empire access to precious metals and different grains that contributed to the economic development of the nation and the well-being of its citizens.

Another example is that of the United States, which after the annexation of California was able to exploit the enormous gold reserves that were in the territory of the State.

According to Quora,

The Plymouth colony is important because the American people have decided that it represents who they (Anglo-White-Americans) are as a nation. 

 __________________________________________________________

It wasn’t particularly significant otherwise.

Was it the first colony? 

Not remotely, there were plenty of other colonies all over the coast of America that came before it. 

 __________________________________________________________

Was it the most successful? 

 

Not really. It was the first truly successful BRITISH colony, but there were lots of other far more successful colonies started in North America that has continued to this day. 

 __________________________________________________________

So… why such a big deal? 

 

Well… I guess it is a number of contributing factors: 

 

The Plymouth Colony was the first truly self-sufficient British colony. The British established the ‘Thirteen colonies’ who eventually declared their independence from Britain as the ‘United States of America’.

 __________________________________________________________

It’s worth noting though that The United States of America at this point was only a small fraction of what we now know as the USA. 

 

The 13 Colonies / USA effectively merged with (gained control of) the large French and Spanish territories, subsuming their settlements and people. 

 

Despite the fact that the modern USA is made up of Spanish, French, British, African, and native colonists/settlers (as well as from every other nation on Earth), the white-British historical viewpoint and narrative are still dominant.
