The British Empire became one of the world's most powerful states by: A. harvesting natural resources from Iceland,
B. setting up colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
C. cutting itself off from all other countries.
D. uniting Viking groups into a single kingdom.

Of course it's "B". These colonies gave them lots of opportunities, like gold, slaves and stuff like that.
