- Many of these people began to look for ways to invest their new-found wealth. One of these ways was to invest in colonies. ... England also looked at the settlement of colonies as a way of fulfilling its desire to sell more goods and resources to other countries than it bought.
Russia lacked natural resources because unlike Great Britain, they did not have a former country to trade with so industrialization could not happen until later. <span />
C. the expansion of Americas across the continent :)
