Mercantilism involved strict governmental control over the colonies to maintain the largest margin of wealth possible. Such control required strong centralized governments rather than the small scattered kingdoms that had existed during the feudal era. As smaller kingdoms merged together to form nations under one ruler, they were better able to compete in the mercantilist system
