What about England’s relationship with the colonies?

Like all countries that had a large number of colonies, England at first was not interested in their development, because it received raw materials from there, free labor and simply used these territories. But then large resources began to be invested in countries and industry was built there, because it was much cheaper to get products in the colonies than in England. In the 20th century, England built a very good policy of relations with the colonies, because having given them relative freedom, she continued to control industry and by investing money in the colonies, she received large profits.
