Answer:
A: English trade in the New World
Step-by-step explanation:
Countries competed with one another for control of the new lands.
Conflict eventually resulted.
Countries began to fight on land and on sea for control of the precious resources.
There were also economic changes in Europe due to this exploration.
Increasing trade made European countries wealthy.
There was a shifting of trade from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.
Trade now focused on new goods and enslaved people.
Having control over more land and resources made European countries the richest in the world.
Rivalry for control led to a great battle.
In the late 1500s, Spain was the dominant world power, especially in naval power.
England was raiding Spanish ships, and supporting rebellion in Spanish territories.
Spain decided to retaliate, and attempted to invade England, in part due to the disputes over trade in the new world.
Spain prepared a huge armada, or fleet, of 130 ships and 28,000 soldiers.
Though outnumbered, English forces ddefeated the armada by using better guns that could fire long distances.
