15. Mercantilism is an economic concept that emerged during the Age of Exploration. It was the belief that a nation's wealth and power were dependent on its ability to acquire and control precious resources, such as gold and silver. The main goal of mercantilism was to maximize exports and minimize imports, with the goal of accumulating as much wealth as possible. This led to policies such as trade monopolies, colonization, and the establishment of overseas empires in order to secure resources and establish a favorable balance of trade. The concept of mercantilism played a significant role in shaping the economic policies and practices of European nations during the Age of Exploration.
