Detailed explanation-1: -British control of the oceans proved optimal in creating a liberal free-trade global economy, and helped Britain gain the lion’s share of the world’s carrying trade and financial support services. The effects were positive for agriculture and most industries, apart from construction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ancient Britain was a peninsula until a tsunami flooded its land-links to Europe some 8, 000 years ago. Did that wave help shape the national character? The coastline and landscape of what would become modern Britain began to emerge at the end of the last Ice Age around 10, 000 years ago.
Detailed explanation-3: -The U.K. colonized 90% of the countries that currently exist at some point, usually for commodities like sugar or saltpeter, so a large portion of their trade successes can be attributed to forcing people either politically or militarily to trade with them.
Detailed explanation-4: -The geography of the United Kingdom impacts its trade by demanding that almost all trade come in via sea routes. Great Britain has always been isolated from mainland Europe: the development of strong navies and shipping groups has allowed the United Kingdom to be a key player in international trade for centuries.
