List examples of imperialistic actions that were responsible for economic growth around 1750

England fought in the Seven Years' War (also known as the French and Indian War) from 1756 to 1763. There were many rival European nations involved in this conflict in which England (allied with Prussia and other nations) challenged France (allied with Russia and other nations). As a result of its victory over France, England gained all of New France (except the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe, which France wanted to keep because they were sources of sugar), including vast amounts of land in North America. In addition, England conquered Bengal in India (which had revolted against England) and ruled that French outposts in India could not be fortified. Therefore, England essentially gained control over most of India.
In 1764, England crushed a revolt in the Indian provinces of Oudh and Bengal. After taking this action, Britain began to establish its empire in India. The East India Company was no longer acting as a company of mere merchants; instead, it began to rule over India and to form its government. The East India Company was responsible for paying a very large amount of money to the British Crown each year in return for administering India.
These victories afforded England a huge imperial regime from which it could extract raw materials, such as tea and cloth from India and timber and sugar from the New World. However, the English Crown did not immediately enjoy economic growth as a result of these imperial conquests, as it was in debt after fighting in the war. In addition, an economic depression in Europe meant that England could not always find trading partners for its imperial goods. Therefore, England turned to enforcing the Navigation Acts in the American colonies to ensure that all raw materials were traded with England and that the colonies would only buy English-made products (and not those of other European nations). These acts were also imperialist in nature.
