The
modern
British Empire first took shape in the early 17th century,with the British settlement of the eastern colonies of North America,which would later become the original United States,as well as Canada's Maritime provinces,and the colonizations of the smaller islands of the Caribbean such as Trinidad and Tobago,the Bahamas,Barbados,and Jamaica.
These sugar plantation islands,where slavery became the basis of the economy,were at first Britain's most important and successful colonies.The American colonies providing tobacco,cotton,and rice in the south and naval material and furs in the north were less financially successful,but had large areas of good agricultural land and attracted far larger numbers of British immigrants.
Britain's American empire was slowly expanded by war and colonization.The ever growing American colonies pressed westward in search of new agricultural lands.Conflict arose with the Dutch over trade and empire; First AngloDutch War (1652~1654); Second AngloDutch War (1665~1667); Third AngloDutch War (1672~1674); Britain gained control of New Amsterdam,which was renamed New York,but ceded Suriname.They defeated the French,first expanding their hold over the maritime provinces.Then during the Seven Years War the British defeated the French at the Plains of Abraham and captured all of New France in 1760.This gave Britain control over almost all of North America.Fourth AngloDutch War (1780~1784); AngloDutch Treaty of 1814;AngloDutch Treaty of 1824.
