Which is not a way in which england's mercantile policy benefited the colonies?

their trade networks expanded worldwide.
they had to develop natural resources.
merchants had to seek out new markets.
the building of ships was encouraged.

The correct answer is "Their Trade Networks Expanded Worldwide".

Besides North America, the British have expanded throughout the World colonizing territories such as the Indian Subcontinent, China and the Middle East. This created a wide network of trade that, even though it had unfair terms to the merchants' in the colonies, made it possible for them to export their goods to many territories overseas.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
