Choose 4 major powers in 1700 to 1800. By major power, I mean - large land army and navy, and a very large economy.

Now find, on your own, the territories or lands those 4 countries controlled.

You may wish to have a map and indicate on the map who controlled what areas, just to help you with this question - it will give you something to look at when I get to the question.

I will give you a hint - the US is not a major power.

Why do the 4 major powers want possession of the lands they control?
