A. At first, it was mostly a matter of finders-keepers. Kingdoms who claimed an island or territory in their name basically got to keep it. This is how Spain got to control pretty much all of the Americas. As competition increased over territories, third parties were brought in to mediate between competing kingdoms. A prime example of this is the Treaty of Tordesillas signed in 1494 between Spain and Portugal. Drafted by Pope Alexander VI, it divided the as yet unexplored world between the two European powers of Spain and Portugal. Eventually competition got so fierce that it was reduced to war over colonies and territories. England fought fiercely with Spain for the lucrative territories in the Caribbean (Jamaica, the Bahamas,… [cont.]

A. If it is an agricultural society, then more children mean more workers, which translates to more money. Whereas in industrial countries, more children means less money. More children can mean more support for parents in their old age. In tribal communities, more children can mean more political power, as the children grow to adulthood.
