Answer:
1. Why did the British have colonies abroad/overseas?
- For natural resources provided by the colonies and opportunities for trading/doing business.
- They were competing to have the most power and the biggest number of colonies with other empires like Spain.
- Opportunities to get wealth and have more land.
- Many people began to look for things to do with their recently found wealth. One way people used their wealth was by investing in the colonies and their goods.
- England thought it would be a good idea to sell goods to the colonies in order to fulfill its desire of expanding trade to other countries.
2. The thirteen colonies were New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
3. How were they able to achieve this? (I'm not exactly sure what you wanted here but I hope this helps)
People went on explorations to find new land and hopefully wealth. England did this through charters from the British king/government. Trade was used to get goods that weren't available in your area by giving goods made in your area. The largest navy on Earth during this time was the Royal Navy with 7 aircraft carriers (and 5 more under construction), 15 battleships and battlecruisers (and 5 more under construction), 66 cruisers (and 23 more under construction), 184 destroyers (and 52 under construction). Settlers travelled to new areas in search of more land, better goods, possibly more food, and wealth.
