Question

England was late to establish colonies in other parts of the world because the English had political struggles leading to self-government and they had a fear of the Spanish.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

True. There were many revolts within and outside of the government of England which hampered its establishment of colonies in other parts of the world. They were also in fear of the Spaniards because of their stronger colonization tactics and multiple successful voyages. Spain was also one of the strongest trade empires during those days, which puts them in great power compared to England.
