Answer 2

Colonial economies were usually organized so that they benefited the:

A. colonial powers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Colonial powers, such as were Great Britain, Portugal and Spain, established colonies with the purpose of benefiting themselves. At first, they mostly had the purpose of exploring as well as exploiting the new lands' riches - wood, gold, silver, diamonds, etc. Once the Industrial Revolution took place, colonies also became the providers of raw material for industries. Colonial powers would also force their colonies to trade only with them, having the colonies import the products they manufactured. That gave colonial powers an economical advantage.
