Pre-fifteenth Century history of Britain speaks of the internal fightings and cowboy-character of the three countries of Wales, Scotland and England . They were primarily living on huntings and navigation -indulging in sea piracy. After England was able to win over the wars and the supremacy, they learnt the art and policy of Divide and Rule.

With this policy and their superiority in marine warfare they were able to enter other countries, create a base and start establishing colonies there.

From the wealth and riches of those colonies that they had taken away to their country, thus created a big financial power like good shopkeepers.

Thus in this manner, with the policy of Divide and Rule, they were able to acquire the status of world's greatest colonial power.
