Answer:
The British Empire began to take shape at the beginning of the 17th century, through the establishment of the Jamestown colony in 1607, in Virginia by England, which would be the beginning of the Thirteen Colonies in North America, which were the origin of the United States as well as the maritime provinces of Canada. There was also the colonization of small islands in the Caribbean Sea such as Jamaica and Barbados.
The sugar-producing colonies of the Caribbean, where slavery became the basis of the economy, were the most important and lucrative colonies for England. The American colonies produced tobacco, cotton and rice in the south, naval material and animal skins in the north.
The empire of England in America was gradually expanding through wars and colonies. England managed to control New Amsterdam (later called New York) after the Anglo-Dutch wars. The American colonies extended westward in search of new land for agriculture. During the Seven Years' War, the English defeated the French and stayed with New France in 1760, which made England the owner of almost all of North America.
Later, settlements in Australia (which began with the penal colonies in 1788) and New Zealand (under the domain of the Crown since 1840) created a new zone for migration from the British Isles, although indigenous populations had to suffer unequal wars -in some cases, genocide, as in the Black War- and also diseases. As a result of the wars, genocide, repression and poor diet were reduced in size by about 60–70% in just under a century. These colonies, already in the hands of the new settlers of British origin, will end up obtaining self-government.
Immigration in the U.S. has caused families who pay taxes( everybody) to pay for others who did not come in legally. Immigrants can come across the border illegally and apply for social security in which they get our U.S. tax money and get money for any immediate family they have. Hence, American citizens are paying for illegal immigrants who do not pay taxes.
According to the treaty of versellias Germany was expected to pay the damages in world war 1.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Treaty of Versellias was signed in 1919. The treat required Germany to pay almost 33 billion US dollars for reparations and covering the civilian damage done in the war. Germany was considered to be the cause of World War 1 and so had to pay a heavy debt or fine for the same.
Germany was however not in a condition to pay such a huge sum and the payment meant a financial crisis for the economy of Germany. The Treaty was also considered to be a cause of the Second World War.
