the answer is A Ur welcome
With the help of Patrick Henry of Virginia; one of the first colonists to rebel against the British, the ultimate rebellion started its course. There were protests because there was injustice against the colonies. The British king used the colonies as tool by taxing heavily to earn more money. There had to be an army to fight him.
As we know....the Roman Empire was very, very successful.....but if we look closely; I believe it's quite easy to distinguish by which means the Roman Empire used to grow. Rome just loved to war aka conquest other countries...it would use its resources and force them to pay tributaries (payment to the person whom conquered them). They had an incredibly good army..their military techniques were incredibly smart..and they also had war machines; which greatly contributed to their power on the battlefield. As far as I know, Rome rarely made alliances and agreements...Christianity was after the fall of Rome.
This being said to expand and grow, it's quite obvious that the Roman Empire went on conquests and war to expand and thrive. Alas, all Empires fall...as did the might Roman Empire.
Thus, your answer.
I am pretty sure the answer is B
