Answer 11

@Astro any clue why we would eliminate taxes?

Answer 12

I think we can eliminate taxes because of the fact that they needed to sell things and that they were trying to make money. Not because of taxes though, They were trying to sell goods. Taxing would be against the reason for imperialism in the first place.

Answer 13

Not necessarily. Having colonies mean that Imperial Nations could make more money off of taxes as they have more territories to tax. Now the question we have to ask ourselves is "Which of these options increased THE MOST due to imperialism?"

Answer 14

I'm starting to think it could also be power, The imperial nations would try to increase colonies which would mean more power for them, even though they would sell good it would be for new trades and to get richer, which would in theory make them more powerful. I'm not quiet sure.

Answer 15

*quite

Answer 16

Also if we're talking about American colonies then you have to consider natural resources which could contribute to wealth.

Answer 17

So...At this point I think it could be either Power, and/or Wealth

I would lean in that direction as well. But for the sake of our Asker. Why can we now eliminate Taxes?
