Question

what process allowed european empires to grow extremely wealthy and powerful from the acquisition resources?
globalization
colonization
naturalization
deforestation

Explanation:

Colonization involved European empires seizing control of territories worldwide, extracting valuable natural resources (like gold, spices, raw materials) and using forced or cheap labor to produce goods for European profit. This systematic resource acquisition and exploitation directly fueled their wealth and power. Globalization is a broader, later process; naturalization refers to citizenship, and deforestation is a specific environmental practice not tied to empire-wide wealth growth.
