Probably the most basic answer is that with the mighty Spanish Armada out of commission, it opened the door for the exploration of the American continent by the French and the British. As these two nations built up colonies in the "new world" they became more and more wealthy. Britain, which hadn't nearly enough farmland to outfit an army, and a shortage of lumber that made naval expansion difficult, sought both of these things in the American continent. As they harvested lumber, they built bigger and better ships, which could haul more grain and outfit more firepower, which in turn helped them to secure even more of the continent. Thus, Great Britain and France gained power and wealth from their colonization of the American continent, and their scope of influence around the world grew. Spain, having lost their ability to wage open war on the seas against the two upstart powers, saw their influence in the colonies decline until they were forced to vacate most of the continent to focus on problems at home.

That's not entirely accurate, Bertucci. Britain began its rise in the mid 1600's, as colonization of the New World began to pick up. This was a direct result of the defeat of the Spanish Armada, which allowed Britain to begin building up a Navy. Their power increased greatly under General-At-Sea Robert Blake, who was appointed by Oliver Cromwell. From that point on, Britain's greatest strength was her Navy. Were it not for the defeat of the Spanish Armada, none of this would have been possible. By the time the 1700's rolled around, Spain was nearly a non-factor in world exploration and conquest, leaving France and Britain as the two juggernauts. While the Peace of Utrecht happened nearly 130 years after the Spanish Armada sank, it was that event that paved the way for the massive balance shift in Europe and all over the globe.
All four of these statements apply.
US exports to Mexico have increased.
US imports from Mexico have increased.
The US imports more from Mexico than it exports
US trade with Mexico increased dramatically
Explanation:
NAFTA is a trade deal that effectively lowered tariffs and taxes to trade between the two nations and other nations in the North American region too.
This meant that the trade was fostered by the government and led by less issues in it.
This means that US exports to Mexico have increase and US imports from Mexico have increased.
It is interesting to see that US imports more goods than it exports from Mexico and that the trade itself with Mexico increased dramatically
According to most historians, <u>boosting </u><u>consumer spending</u> would have made the New Deal more effective in solving the economic crisis during the Great Depression.
<h3>What is consumer spending?</h3>
Consumer spending is the expenditure incurred by households and individuals.
Consumer spending includes expenditure on services, durable goods, and nondurable goods.
Consumer spending boosts the industrial production of goods and services by businesses. Industrial production encapsulates investments and necessary economic boosters.
Thus, most historians agreed that the New Deal (that is, the anti-depression programs of President FDR) failed to solve the economic crisis during the Great Depression because it did not boost consumer spending.
