BVM2-Task 1
A1.
England became envious of Spain as Spain was becoming successful by gaining American
possessions and establishing North American territories. Englishmen raided Spanish fleets that
were bringing back treasures from North America, this created a war. England won the war
against the Spanish Armada in 1588, off the English coast. Queen Elizabeth sent a group to
colonize North America in hopes of duplicating the successes that Spain had. Englishmen
created outposts to trade with the Indians in hopes that this would help exploit the Spanish.
A2.
Two of the biggest social pressures that contributed to the English colonization of North
America was the growing population and religion. England’s population drastically increased
which caused people to compete for clothing, food, and other goods. Many were becoming
homeless, crowding the streets and alleys. Religious transformation caused many of the English
to leave England. They hoped to be able to practice what they believed in, freely. Some also left
to avoid being arrested and imprisoned. People believed they could improve their living by
heading to North America.
