Hi
<span>They had a long-standing friendship with Germany. It's not A or B so which would it be? I just can't seem to figure it out. :(</span>
Answer:
They earned money from colonization, so it mainly became a battle of how rich they were. And then the exploration part pretty much meant that they could claim 'new' land (that was already pretty much discovered by Native Americans) and make even more money, along with having power in the New World.
Explanation:
Peter the Great's primary goal was to strengthen its government and increase power.
It could be argued that the "serf" was the "property" of the land during the Middle Ages, since under the feudal system that reigned supreme during this time, serfs (or peasants) had very little rights of their own.
