It was the fact that "Britannia ruled the waves" that allowed them to control and maintain their extensive colonial Empire. Their advanced European army allowed them to conquer the indigenous people of the areas they colonised, but it was their navy that ensured no other European power could range as far and free across the world to establish their own armies while moving people, troops and wealth from colonies to England.
