In the theory known as mercantilism, nations measure their wealth by the amount of gold. Importing more goods than one nation exports results that wealth, mainly gold and silver, is exiting the country. Overseas colonies are nations access to  wealth and raw materials. Instead of importing raw materials from other nations, having raw materials available made it possible for countries to create their own goods, which they could export and accumulate wealth. Also, by not relying on other nations, they become self sufficient which is the ultimate goal of mercantilism. During a large period of history, colonial forces of Europe were faughting wars for colonies.

mercantilism, nations measure their wealth by the amount of gold they possess. Importing more goods than a nation exports causes wealth, predominantly gold and silver, to flow out of the country. By having overseas colonies, nations had access to a wealth of various raw materials. Instead of importing raw materials from other nations, which takes gold and silver wealth out of a country, having raw materials available allowed countries to create goods, which they could export and acquire wealth. Also, by not relying on other nations, they could become self sufficient which is the ultimate goal of mercantilism. As nations rushed to colonize and acquire the limited quantities of precious metals in the world, war emerged on the horizon as an inevitable.

Was the stamp act the first act?
JulijaS [17]
The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first internal tax levied directly on American colonists by the British government. The act, which imposed a tax on all paper documents in the colonies, came at a time when the British Empire was deep in debt from the Seven Years’ War (1756-63) and looking to its North American colonies as a revenue source. Arguing that only their own representative assemblies could tax them, the colonists insisted that the act was unconstitutional, and they resorted to mob violence to intimidate stamp collectors into resigning. Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in 1766, but issued a Declaratory Act at the same time to reaffirm its authority to pass any colonial legislation it saw fit. The issues of taxation and representation raised by the Stamp Act strained relations with the colonies to the point that, 10 years later, the colonists rose in armed rebellion against the British. <span> </span> <span> </span>
