Why were the colonies important to the British Empire?

History
1 answer:
professor190 [17]3 years ago
7 0

The main reason the colonies were important to the British Empire was for money.

The colonies had a lot of land, more resources, and new animals and plants that Great Britain could use for money. Englishmen would invest their wealth into the colonies and often buy land to raise animals and crops. There were a lot of new resources in the colonies that the colonists could use and even sell overseas. New things were being found that could sell for a lot in other countries, which was making Great Britain even more wealthy.

Great Britain could also tax the colonies, which also was a way to earn money. This made the colonists angry, as they had nobody in the British Parliament to vouch for them, so they ended up boycotting a lot of British products that contained taxes on them. This eventually made Great Britain realize that taxes were not a good idea.

Notice the following signs in the image.
"vox populi" which means "voice of the people"
Polling Booth Who is not with us is against us.
Tank as the voting booth.

The image depicts gross intimidation of Hitler to the voting people. It is ironic that even though the image said voice of the people, it is very obvious that the voice of the people are controlled by Hitler and his army. 
Any one who is not for Hitler will be treated as his enemy and will be subject to extreme measure of punishment as befits his enemies.
Hitler's victory in the election is assured because everyone will surely vote for  him or lose their lives.
