Golden Age

I have decided to analyze this and that article to understand, how actually and why did the British Empire headed by Queen Elizabeth have colonized almost the whole world. As we all can see, everything begins in 1578, when Virgin Queen I granted a patent to Humphrey Gilbert(an English adventurer, explorer, member of parliament, and soldier from Devon, who served the crown during the reign of Queen) for discovery and overseas exploration. From that moment begins the development of British Empire and expansion of its borders. In 1583 Newfoundland is claimed on behalf of England's queen Elizabeth, but unfortunately, no settlers were left behind. In 1585 , Raleigh Walter(an English aristocrat, writer, poet, soldier, courtier, and explorer) founded the colony of Roanoke on the coast of present-day North Carolina, but lack of supplies caused the colony to fail. Another group of settlers is brought to the island in 1587, a year which sees the first child born in America to English parents. She is called Virginia Dare (Virginia, in honour of England's virgin queen, is the name given to the colony). But when an English ship next visits the island, in 1590, no trace remains of any member of this pioneering community.The next attempt to establish English colonies in America comes in 1606, with the founding of two companies for the purpose.
