How Britain became a Superpower // XVII - XVIII centuries. Trade // First colonies. Part II.

XVII century. England breaks out of Spanish isolation and tries to settle in the New World. The first English colonies in North America are quickly established, where people from the poor British peninsula begin arriving in hopes of land and freedom. The 17th century in England was a period of religious strife - and the English Puritans were among the first to travel to the New World in search of a better fortune. A series of controversies set off a series of conflicts within the country, which later led to the Civil War, which was won by Oliver Cromwell. England and Scotland realized that constant warfare was not beneficial to anyone - so Britain was born. The East was the richest and most populous region in this era. Trade with India and China is worth more than gold. Britain begins to seize eastern markets from other European powers, gradually becoming a major maritime power. Rivalry between the European powers leads to a series of wars in the 18th century. The War of the Spanish Succession, the Seven Years' War - brought Britain to the forefront of Europe, and the largest colonial empire, displacing the French from America and India. Wars, politics, trade, economics - all in our historical animated video on the rise of Britain. Enjoy watching.
