Sir Walter Raleigh supported the goals of Elizabeth I primarily by establishing an English colony in the New World. He was instrumental in the attempts to colonize North America, notably through the establishment of the Roanoke Colony, which, although ultimately unsuccessful, reflected England's ambitions to expand its territory and influence in the Americas. Additionally, his explorations and efforts contributed to the competition against Spain, aligning with Elizabeth I's foreign policy objectives.
