Britain viewed its colonies as essential sources of raw materials and markets for goods, driven by mercantilist policies. Colonies supplied raw materials like cotton and tobacco while also providing a market for British manufactured products. Economic regulations and a strong navy facilitated this exploitative relationship, which significantly contributed to Britain's wealth during the colonial era.
