Answer 2

Answer:

The British wanted an empire for a number of reasons. Firstly, the discovery of the New World provided the opportunity to acquire wealth. The Americas were rich in metals and minerals and the English, then British, were eager to capitalise on these. The vast spaces found in the Americas also provided an opportunity for expansion. This could be used to alleviate the pressure on land at home; be farmed for goods required in Britain and provide trading posts on the way, hopefully, to the Far East.
