Virginia (W3)
1570-1580 wurden die niederländischen Rebellen von der englischen Königin Elisabeth I. aber auch die Hugenotten und die "Piraten" wie Francis Drake unterstützt. Die Piraten führten Privatkriege gegen Spanien und plünderten die aus Amerika zurückkehrenden Schiffe.
1584 nahm Walter Raleigh eine Region in Amerika in Besitz, die er nach der (angeblich) jungfräulichen Königin "Virginia" nannte. Von dort wurden Kartoffeln und Tabak nach England eingeführt.
