I can see a state’s colonial possessions affecting relations in dramatically due to the power imbalance brought upon by it. Before Britain emerged as the colonial power, various nations contended with Britain such as Spain, France, and even Portugal. This soured relations greatly with some of these major and minor powers as tensions arose abroad over land. As an example, when the British took New Amsterdam it hurt relations severely, and tensions that escalated in the French Indian war. These examples are plentiful and definitely affected relations in Europe! Hope this helps.
A hyperbole is an exgrarrted statement. This is common in poetry, fairytales, and folklore because most of the times these stories are made to entertain and not be literal. Some Examples:
My garden is as big as a football field.
<span>I am so hungry I could eat a horse
.I had a ton of chores to do.
<span>If I can't get a Smartphone, I will die.</span></span>
There were several different reasons for English settlement including:
1) Economic opportunities- North America provided individuals who were poor in England an opportunity to escape poverty. Along with this, in North America there was no rigid social structure. In England at this time, if you were born a peasant you would stay a peasant for your entire life.
2) Religious freedom- Individuals who broke away from the Anglican Church (Church of England) could escape to North America in order to practice their own religion.
3) Pursuit of gold/natural resources- North America was known for having gold and other valuable resources that English citizens desired.
Ultimately, these goals changed over time. This is especially true when the Europeans began growing cash crops like tobacco in the Southern colonies (like Virginia).
Me too, how’re you doing?
