I would say Social/Religious causes. He is promoting the "Britons" as a benefit to all of humanity even to the point that he is justifying the taking of other's lands. He does not say anything about economic benefits to these people or political benefits, merely that Britons are honorable so they deserve it.

How do natural resources and geography relate to economic growth for a
leonid [27]

Limited natural resources like infertile land and lack of coastal access can limit economic growth of a country.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Agriculture is an important sector that determines a country’s economic stability. If a country   does not have enough agricultural productivity it should depend on other countries to meet its needs. This will cause the outflow of wealth from the nation to other countries and slow down its economic growth.  

Fertile land is the necessary resource that ensures stable agricultural productivity. If a country’s geographical location favours its trade relations with other nations, imports and exports become smoother. Coastal access is an important factor that boosts up a country’s active participation in global trade.  

Thus infertile land and lack of coastal access can bring down the economic growth of a country.
