I would divide this question probably into:

ECONOMICALY:
-Columbian Exchange
>Trade
>created more raw materials for the mother country to use for manufacturing
>Less reliability from other countries
-Mercantilism
>Bullion from other countries
>BOP(who had the most)
POLITICALY:
-Monarchs wanting to control the most for more power and recieve more bullion (connects to mercantilism)
-Lead to more BOP wars such as the first official one, the 30 Years war with the Treaty of westaphalia and the Treaty of Utrecht from the War of Spanish Succession
SOCIALY:
- Emigration of minorities(Puritans from GB into Mass.)
-Overpopulation solution (GB)

**International relations(to be inserted wherever)**:
-competition between states

Was, with the international relations, could that be inputed into a conclusion to help tie it up, or should it be inserted in the body paragraphs?
